Since gaining a dual identity as a horror movie director and American rock icon, Rob Zombie has spread himself around quite a bit. He’s directed seven full-length movies (including a Tom Papa comedy special) and released five albums as a solo artist. Currently in the promotion phase of his newest album Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor, the gravel-voiced singer is tearing his way through the states.
Rob Zombie is coming to the 9:30 Club Club on November 27 with guest Scar the Martyr, and we’ve got tickets to give away to the sold-out show.
This year has been busy for the king of late-’90s shock rock. Lords of Salem, Zombie’s sixth horror movie, saw a theatrical release and fan fervor. He and his band also released their newest album with plenty of homages to rock of the 20th century.
Chugging guitar and call-and-response vocals hint at throwback sounds, while the cover of Grand Funk Railroad’s “We’re an American Band” is a full-on admission of retrospective adoration.
In addition to Rob Zombie, Scar the Martyr is also billed. The band that formed and then released a record within the past 12 months is half all-star band and half side project of Slipknot drummer Joey Jordinson. Filling out the group’s line-up is Strapping Young Lad guitarist Jed Simon, ex-Darkest Hour guitarist Kris Norris, former Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna on keyboards, and vocalist Henry Derek Bonner.
To put your name in the running for tickets is super easy: In the comments below, tell us your favorite musicians who are also involved in movies. Since I’m still waiting on the low-budget film “A Manual Dexterity,” I’m going to go for director and Mars Volta guitarist and visionary Omar Rodriguez Lopez.
The winner will be chosen at noon on Tuesday, November 26.
