King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard paid a visit to Music City last night and delivered another thrilling performance at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater. Despite wishful thinking from fans, the evening did not include an appearance from Nashville-based bluegrass firebrand Billy Strings, who just wrapped up his own summer tour and recently sat in with Phish when the jam juggernaut passed through his hometown. Billy and the King Gizzard boys shot the Gizz together in Sweden last summer, so fans were at least partially justified in expecting a visit from Strings. Less predictable was the collaboration that actually did occur toward the end of the night.

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

WORDS BY DAVID TAYLOR AND PHOTOS BY ROBERT A CHADWICK | Go Venue Magazine. August 31, 2004, is a day that went down in the heavy metal history books. Both Lamb of God and Mastodon respectfully put out game-changer albums with Ashes of the Wake and Leviathan, respectfully. I couldn’t imagine at that time thinking these bands would still be around twenty years later, co-headlining amphitheaters with each other, and playing those albums in full. Well, here we are twenty years later, and they are still crushing live and wanting to celebrate these momentous albums for themselves and the fans. It was the final show of their Ashes of Leviathan tour when they came to play the Astro Amphitheater in La Vista, Nebraska on that same date, Saturday, August 31, dusting off some of these tunes for the last time (for now).
