LYNCH MOB
at GB Leighton’s Pickle Park (Fridley)

Can you believe that Lynch Mob is back with their eighth studio album Rebel this August 21st (in two weeks)? The 25 years+ band is still going strong. Fans who pre-ordered the album via iTunes will receive an instant download of “Automatic Fix,” which singer Oni Logan noted,
“This is an interesting song in that it was the last song that was recorded vocally. I initially thought that it might be best used as instrumental. I simply love this song because of its energy and attitude.”

Lynch Mob formed in 1989 after George Lynch parted ways with his former band Dokken. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Lynch Mob’s debut release Wicked Sensation.

Downtread and Metalships to open.

Sure, we’ve already mentioned German band KMFDM‘s tour earlier in July, but as of this writing, it does not seem Black December will be able to make it. And just a reminder that the industrial band will be playing at Mill City Nights next Saturday. I have been looking over their tour merchandise and pre-planning on which Brute! T-Shirts I’m going to pick up at the show.

Chant and Inertia to open the show.
