Friday, July 18 / Mainstreet Bar and Grill
Oakland, CA heavy metal stalwarts Machine Head sound reminiscent of fellow Bay Area behemoths Metallica, as well as the burlier riffage of Pantera. Frontman Rob Flynn's fiery political and personal lyrics put the band over the top. Their albums The Blackening and Unto The Locust are both rock-solid records, and the band will play choice cuts from both (as well as their untitled, upcoming record) when they play Toledo’s Mainstreet.
