Skinny Puppy has stopped by FashioNation (613 E. 13th Ave.) quite a few times over the years. So has Ministry, Front 242, KMFDM, Peter Murphy, Motorhead, Social Distortion...well, you get the idea.

Nonetheless, you're not likely to hear Black Dice on commercial radio anytime soon, because the threesome still blasted out sculpted chunks of jagged white noise, the g
Skinny Puppy stops at the Ogden Theatre Saturday, November 7 as part of the industrial band's In Solvent See tour, which kicks off October 30. Tickets are $30 in advance and go on sale Friday, August 15. Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt team for an acoustic evening Wednesday, October 7 at the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs and Thursday, October 8 at CU-Boulder's Macky Auditorium.

As music critics, the most common question we get asked (and ask each
other, for that matter) is, "What are you listening to?" The
