A Revolting Show

You gotta wonder: Is industrial pioneer Al Jourgensen part machine? How else could the legendary front man (who ain't exactly a spring chicken) play and withstand two full-length sets with his groups Revolting Cocks and Ministry night after night? Today, he'll show you how it's done when he takes the stage at the Verizon — not once but twice.

After a 12-year hiatus, Revolting Cocks have returned with their latest, Cocked and Loaded, which features an eclectic array of guests, including ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Cheap Trick's Robin Zander and the Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes. The band mocks ass-kicking Texas boogie with the nitty-gritty industrial rock that has long been its defining sound. Expect the Ministry bill to be just as feverish and full of chaotic bravado. Pitbull Daycare opens the show.
Fri., May 5, 8 p.m.
