Kill Devil Hill is a rock band that may not bring any name recognition. But the band names Pantera and Black Sabbath do, and Kill Devil Hill’s bass player is Rex Brown, former bass player for both Pantera and Down, and its drummer is Vinny Appice, a drummer for the Ronnie James Dio led Black Sabbath and then Dio, and the drummer who played on the classic Dio album Holy Diver. Joining the legendary pair as Kill Devil Hill visits Downtown Music are guitarist Mark Zavon, who played with Stephen Pearcy of Ratt, and lead singer Dewey Bragg. Presented by 100.3 The Edge, Kill Devil Hill headlines a show that includes a trio of Little Rock hard rock/metal bands: Bombay Black, At War’s End and Sychosys. The doors open at 7 p.m. with the music at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $14 in advance and $17 at the door.
Fresh off their 10th anniversary gig, Little Rock hard-driving bluegrass outfit Runaway Planet is back again with a free show as part of the Live at Laman series. The newest addition to the band on mandolin and dobro is Matt Stone, a multi-instrumentalist and in-demand musician, joining Greg Alexander on guitar and vocals, Steve Brauer on banjo and vocals, and Michael Proveaux on bass and vocals. The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Stage at the William F. Laman Public Library. The band’s sophomore release was titled Tarnation.
Glittercore made their debut back in June. Since then the Little Rock band that combines their take on modern pop with glam and indie rock has played a few local shows. Now with new bass player Luke Tibbett, Glittercore — Paul Bowling, India Carter and Shayne Gray — is playing an unplugged show at The Afterthought. The outfit’s glittery music that shrieks melodically will be un-electrified as the band takes the stage at 8 p.m. for the 21-and-up show. There’s no cover for the show.
Here’s Kill Devil Hill with their “Gates of Hell”:
Sychosys frontman Cory Jackson had this to say about his band’s upcoming gig at Downtown Music: “Get ready for a throwdown!!!!” That was more than a month ago though, so Jackson is probably up to around two dozen exclamation points in his anticipation. And so should fans of heavy rock in the central Arkansas area be anticipating this night of head-thrashing fun. The Little Rock-based Sychosys is Southern-flavored metal at its best, influenced by bands such as Pantera, Black Label Society and Black Sabbath. Joining the local crew will be fellow Little Rock hard rock outfit At War’s End, and Memphis metal act Cult of the Flag. The music starts at 8 p.m. with a $7 cover.
The Fourth of July is still almost a month away, but the Little Rock Wind Symphony is ready to celebrate the patriotic nature of America with their annual Stars and Stripes Celebration at MacArthur Park. The 15th annual salute to the Red, White and Blue will include “hand-clapping marches, flag-waving patriotic songs and toe-tapping songs of Americana,” including John Philip Sousa’s “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” “America the Beautiful” and Joseph Willcox Jenkins’s “American Overture.” The event will include free ice cream and free American flags, and will be hosted by MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History, which will be open before the concert. The event starts at 7 p.m. and is free, and picnic baskets, lawn chairs and children are welcomed.
Riverfest continues in downtown Little Rock along the Arkansas River. Get the full lineup of artists and times here.
Another White Water Tavern favorite who lives out of state returns with a visits from Kevin Gordon for a full band show and a night of his self-described “indie swamp” music. The music starts at 10 p.m. The Nashville, Tenn., singer/songwriter is currently touring and raising money so he can release his latest work, the 11-track Gloryland. A superior songwriter, Gordon writes about watching the sun going down and fast trains taking away the blame, and his rustic tunes mixing blues and rock ‘n’ roll have been covered by Keith Richards, Levon Helm and Webb Wilder.
The perfect warbeast would probably be a rabid grizzly bear, but it’s also the name of a Dallas thrash metal act Warbeast, who is visiting Downtown Music. The five piece act with twin, dueling guitars was formally known as Texas Metal Alliance but changed their name to Warbeast, and it was a change for the better. As the band says, “Metal means high speed riffing, thunderous double bass, roaring vocals and plenty of blazing guitar solos.” Sounds like a head-banging good time. Joining Warbeast will be two local acts who also like to do a little heavy metal head-banging: Russellville heavy metal act JudgeMENTAL and Little Rock Southern-flavored metal band Sychosys. The doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the music at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $7 in advance and $10 at the door.
Mojo Depot, the Little Rock group consisting of Tyndall Jackson on guitar, Rob Moore on vocals and guitar, Jason Adams on drums and John Wright on bass, comes to The Afterthought.

100.3 The Edge presents a night of furious metal at Juanita’s with headliners All That Remains. The Massachusetts metalcore band first formed in 1998 and has released five albums since then, including 2010′s For We Are Many, an album that is the sound of guitar, bass and drums punching you in the skull but in the best way possible. The doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the music at 8:30 p.m., and tickets are $17 in advance and $22 at the door. Local support will be provided by Russellville heavy metal act JudgeMENTAL (influenced by Pantera, Megadeth and Metallica) and Sychosys, a Southern-flavored metal band influenced by bands such as Pantera, Black Label Society and Black Sabbath.
Fans of Americana music: Just go see Tony Furtado at Stickyz. That might be the best advice you get all week. The banjo and slide guitar player has played with some of his favorite artists such as Bela Fleck, Laurie Lewis and Earl Scruggs, but he is better known for creating his own brand of rapid-fire picking, progressive music that incorporates bluegrass, blues, swing, Celtic, jazz, folk, rock and country. He’s also a two-timer winner of a national banjo championship. The opening act is to be announced, but expect the music at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 for the 21-and-up show.
Memphis-based but Arkansas-loved rockers Lucero return to Little Rock with a show at Revolution Music Room. Fronted by Arkansas native Ben Nichols, Lucero mixes their punkish roots with twangy country and beer-raising rock ‘n’ roll to create tales about girls, guitars, love and drinking. The band released their latest album 1372 Overton Park in 2009, their first on Universal Records and their first with the added punch of horns. Opening for Lucero will be Cory Branan, a singer/songwriter known for his poetic, fingerpicked tales that slide between intimate folk tunes such as “Last Man on Earth” and rugged rock ‘n’ roll tracks such as “Prettiest Waitress in Memphis.” The music starts at 9 p.m. with tickets $16 for the 18-and-up show. A portion of proceeds from the show will go to the Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute.

Dark From Day One is a Russellville alternative rock band while Sychosys is a Southern-flavored metal band from Little Rock and Iron Ton features two members of Sychosys and cranks out white-hot portions of alternative metal. Obsidian is a hard rock band from northwest Missouri with the quartet being fronted by Nikk Wolf, who sounds like late Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley. Doors open at 8 p.m. for the 9 p.m. show with tickets $7 in advance and $10 at the door.
It’s been a long, long time, but Frown Pow’r is getting together for a White Water Tavern show. The band, known for their live show that combines gorgeously messy rock ‘n’ roll with the fervor of an old-time religious tent revival, creates scratchy, raggedy rock exhilaration. The sound of the band is summed up with the deconstructed rock ‘n’ roll track “Keep On Clappin’,” a three-minute rush of grinding guitars and high-hat taps that name-checks Neil Young’s Zuma and reminds listeners even when “bad things just keep on happenin’” to keep, keep, keep on, keep on clappin’. Joining the local boys on the bill will be the garage-y rock of fellow local group The Yipps.
Arvest River Market on Ice is still up and running through the holidays at the River Market Pavilions, and as part of the festivities Movies in the Park is holding a special holiday showing of the new Christmas classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation at 6 p.m. The John Hughes penned 1989 film stars Chevy Chase as the head of the Griswold clan, battling family members and obnoxious neighbors in an effort to fully embrace the Christmas season. Admission to the movie is free. Remember Randy Quaid before he was crazy in real life and just crazy onscreen. “Oh, Eddie, if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now.”

Or, as TSO founder, producer and writer Paul O’Neill said: “When someone goes to a TSO concert, we don’t want them to walk away saying, ‘That was a great show,’ or ‘That was worth it,’ or even ‘That was the best show I’ve seen in a long time.’ We want them to say, ‘Man, that the best show ever; we just ripped that band off.’” Expect Christmas-themed hard rock with a mixture of cuts from the band’s latest album, 2009′s Night Castle.

Joining the band will be the reformed Kansas power pop group Ultimate Fakebook with their fuzzed out rock.

Other acts include fellow Lawrence, Kan., band The Dead Girls, a supergroup formed from Ultimate Fakebook and Podstar known for their guitar-fueled power pop, and The Dirty Streets, a young Memphis rock ‘n’ roll outfit with punk and soul roots, and raised on Deep Purple, Sly & the Family Stone and Led Zeppelin.

The spicy, Latin-flavored rock of Austin, Texas, outfit Vallejo is no stranger to Little Rock, and the quartet will revisit central Arkansas with a show at Sticky Fingerz.

Here’s Trans-Siberian Orchestra doing their thing with “Christmas Canon Rock”:
The second Google result for The Romany Rye is from the blog Hear Ya, proclaiming “The Romany Rye fills a void left by Ryan Adams and The Cardinals.” Later the posting notes the band’s “8-song debut, Highway 1, Look Back Carefully, is a piece of breezy Americana that falls somewhere between the solo work of Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) and Ryan Adams and The Cardinals.” Beyond the Ryan “Don’t-Call-Him-Bryan” Adams comparisons, The Romany Rye is an alt country band fronted by Los Angeles folk rocker Luke MacMaster and consisting of four Little Rock guys: Ryan Hitt, Judson Spillyards, Joshua Spillyards and Whitman Bransford. The Rye visits White Water Tavern, headlining a “hometown” gig that includes Velvet Kente, a Little Rock outfit fronted by the first-name only Joshua that combines afrobeat rhythms with folk guitar and soulful vocals.
