Rebelpalooza
Who's headlining? Dorm room darlings 311, with Unwritten Law, which is some kind of SoCal skate-pop band. Who else is playing? Building a Better Spaceship (heh), For Twenty Daze (heh!) and Swollen Members (ha-HAH!). Who are they? Respectively: a crunchy, Police-tinged L.A. band; some grinning, local "roots/dub/reggae" guys; a critically acclaimed alt-hip-hop crew founded 10 years ago in Vancouver by Mad Child and Prevail. Anyone else? One more band -- Thousand Foot Krutch. They're Christian rockers from Toronto. We did a random lyrics search through their last album, The Art of Breaking, and found the following pattern, assembled from five different songs: "I'll pick you up, won't let you fall ... hope you never fall ... I don't want to fall ... run into things and fall down ... I hope no one's around when it falls." Here's what CityLife staff psychologists are predicting: This inner tension, this self-fulfilling fear of the Fall will cause at least one band member to insult the wife of 311 singer S.A. Martinez and physically attack 311 drummer Chad Sexton onstage -- precisely as super-trashed, former Creed singer and Christian soldier Scott Stapp allegedly did last Thanksgiving in a Baltimore bar. Peace will finally be restored by the other Rebelpalooza bands of west coast rappers and reggae pot-smokers. DAVE SURRATT Rebelpalooza Fri., March 3, 3 p.m. UNLV Intramural Fields (at the corner of Swenson St. & Harmon Ave.) 739-3267 $25; $20 in advance
