Additional ticketing and venue information can be found here.

About Static-XFormed when Wayne and Ken moved westward from Chicago to L.A., later meeting California-native Campos and guitarist Koichi Fukuda, Static-X began melding staccato guitar riffs and lyrics that blended harsh reality with sardonic humor. They quickly won over the area’s club-goers who discovered that, live, this outstanding young quartet could whip an audience into a frenzy like few others before or since. In stripping every song to its barest, most minimal essence, Static-X concerts were fast, loud and left the listener singing “Push It” until well after the band had departed the stage.

From their earliest performances in the mid-1990s, Static-X was able to harness the best elements of industrial, techno and metal into a shattering blend of music that was as infectious as it was brutal. It wasn’t uncommon to see a huge, sweaty mosh pit mere yards from where more peaceful- but no less enthusiastic- dancing was taking place. Versatility, that’s the ticket to success these days!

Static-X built their fan-base one fan at a time. They performed tirelessly, spending an inordinate amount of time meeting their fans. The band has prided itself on their approachability, and since they have a frontman whose vertical hairstyle can be spotted from a great distance, such friendliness has come in handy on many occasions!

Upon the release of the Wisconsin Death Trip model, Static-X were thus able to prove their capacity for world-class entertainment. Promotional videos for “Push It” and “I’m With Stupid” were enthusiastically welcomed by fans and networks alike, and both songs- along with “Bled For Days”-were Top 40 tracks on rock radio. Unafraid of the rigors of the road, Static-X have played more than 300 shows worldwide in the last few years, ranging from supporting slots, to two separate Ozzfest tours (Main and Second Stages), to triumphant headlining tours of their very own.

For Machine, Static-X discovered a new guitar player for their purposes: Tripp Eisen, formerly of New York rockers, Dope. Eisen brings an infusion of energy to their live show, and Wayne Static calls him a natural replacement for Fukuda, who parted amicably with Static-X prior to the recording of Machine.

Humor is an essential part of the blueprint behind Machine. What else could explain the appearance of the song “Shit in a Bag,” which retells the plight of a nervous musician, rolling down the highway in a tour bus with no toilet in sight? Or the bizarre mariachi instrumental, “Bien Venidos”? Or the continued appearance of the word “Otsego?” (Last time it was “Otsegolation,” now it’s “Otsego Undead,” written for the release of the movie, Dracula 2000.)

But it’s not all fun and games. Songs such as “This Is Not” (seIected as Machine’s first emphasis track and promotional live video) find the singer addressing his dislocation from his home, and the gripping, melodic “Cold” details a personal relationship that has suffered from a blanket of uncommunicative silence. “Permanence” bemoans lack of substance in the art of today, while the album’s title track disdains the pre-packaged, hermetically sealed lives most Americans lead.

About DopeThe band was founded by song writer and lead singer Edsel Dope in 1997. As a child Edsel and his brother, Simon Dope, were separated when their parents divorced. When the two were adults, they reunited and Simon joined Edsel’s band, playing keyboards. The pair then recruited Tripp Eisen as bassist, Preston Nash as drummer, and Acey Slade as guitarist.

Unlike many of the popular bands from the 1990s, Dope derived their sound from influences taken from hard rock bands and fused that with the sound of industrial rock acts which had made waves earlier in the decade, such as Ministry, as well as industrial music act Skinny Puppy.

In their earliest days, the band sold drugs to survive and purchase instruments. Furthermore, the name “Dope” refers to drugs and drug culture, as shown by their early T-shirt designs which prominently displayed hypodermic needles.

The band also had some early connections with fellow rockers Marilyn Manson; drummer Ginger Fish shared an apartment with Edsel Dope in Las Vegas during the earlier 1990s, before either of them were in their respective bands. Also guitarist Zim Zum allowed the band to claim that they were “currently being produced by Zim Zum” on the cover of their promotional discs to help them gain a record deal. It was originally planned that Zum would produce their debut, however he was busy recording the album Mechanical Animals at the time. Lead singer, Edsel, has maintained a good friendship with ex-Manson guitarist Daisy Berkowitz.

Head to the Zootown Arts Community Center (ZACC) on First Friday, October 3, from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm to celebrate the 11th Annual Missoula Monster Project, marking more than a decade of monster magic that begins in Missoula’s kindergarten classrooms.

Each year, the ZACC partners with the Missoula County Public Schools Fine Arts Department to produce one of Missoula’s most beloved community art traditions. Kindergarteners unleash their imaginations to draw monsters, and adult artists reinterpret those drawings in their own medium. The finished works are displayed side-by-side at the ZACC throughout October, with the exhibition launching at a family-friendly opening party featuring live music, monster cake, and plenty of creativity to go around. This year’s participating schools are Franklin, Jeannette Rankin, and Chief Charlo Elementary Schools.

Opening night festivities include a performance by Cowboy Andy & the Salamanders on the Show Room stage from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm, plus free monster cake generously provided by Yoke’s Fresh Market. Adult-created monster artworks will be available for purchase – arrive early to claim your favorite before it’s gone!

The Monster Project isn’t just fun, it’s meaningful. Proceeds from the sale of monsters, donated by participating artists, support arts education in Missoula County Public Schools and ZACC classrooms. Funds are shared with the MCPS Fine Arts Department to help ensure that every child in Missoula has access to high-quality arts opportunities. The exhibit will remain on display in the ZACC’s Main Gallery through October 26. This wonderful community event is supported in part by First Security Bank, Windfall, Blackfoot Communications, Park Side Credit Union, Stockman Bank, Young Mazda, the Good Food Store, the Top Hat Bar & Restaurant and Sussex School.

For those who can’t attend in person, the 11th Annual Missoula Monster Project will also be available for purchase online on the ZACC website following the reception. The goal this year: to find a home for every monster.
