FRIDAY, OCT. 21, AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER, 2500 VICTORY AVE. $106+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM AND 7 P.M. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 26, DICKIES ARENA, 1911 MONTGOMERY ST. $154+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM Former Grapevine resident Post Malone ad- opted his stage name as a teenage when he paired his last name with a name spit out by a rap name generator. Starting off as a metal mu- sician before finding his way to a signature sound that’s been described as a “melting pot of country, grunge, hip-hop and R&B,” Malone re- leased his fourth album, Twelve Carat Tooth- ache, over the summer, surprising critics with a more serious effort than his previous releases. Gone are the childish references to women’s anatomy and frat boy alcohol consumption. In- stead, Malone offers up a concise work that is slick in its production and smooth in its vocal delivery. As a former resident of North Texas and avid Cowboys fan, it’s no surprise that Post Malone will be playing two shows in the coming week in Dallas and Fort Worth. Compton rapper Roddy Ricch will be opening both shows. DAVID FLETCHER The Judds 6:30 P.M. SATURDAY, OCT. 22, DICKIES ARENA, 1911 MONTGOMERY ST. $95.50+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM On April 11, 2022, mother-daughter country duo The Judds performed what would be their final performance together at the CMT Music Awards, singing “Love Can Build a Bridge” from the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. That same day, The Judds announced a final tour with iconic country singer Martina McBride. On April 30, mother Naomi Judd took her own life after a long and public struggle against anxiety and depression. The next day, The Judds were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, where the two had performed just weeks be- fore. Rather than canceling the tour or touring under her name alone, daughter Wynonna Judd decided to press onward, turning the tour into a memorial for her mother and a chance for more musicians to come on stage and pay their re- spects. In addition to McBride, Trisha Yearwood will be providing opening support for Judd for the Fort Worth show this weekend. DF 24 The Melvins 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23, Rubber Gloves, 411 E. Sycamore St. $25 at prekindle.com In 1983, The Melvins came together in Monte- sano, Washington, and began to lay the groundwork for what we know today as grunge rock and sludge metal. A pillar in the burgeoning Washington music scene, The Mel- vins was a favorite band of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain. For a brief period of time, Melvins drummer Dale Crover was also Nirvana’s drum- mer before Melvins singer Buzz Osborne in- vited Cobain to a Scream show and introduced him to drummer Dave Grohl. The Melvins has always existed in the margins of the main- stream music scene, influencing many but reaching only the rabid few. Chances are good that you’ve heard of The Melvins, sure, but did you know that the band just released its 26th album? Still built on huge guitar riffs and men- acing vocals, The Melvins’ sound has stayed consistent these four decades, and so has its Mike Mezeul The Jesus and Mary Chain play Tuesday, Oct. 25, at Granada Theater. live show, which you can see Sunday in Denton with Austin band We Are The Asteroid. DF The Jesus and Mary Chain 7 P.M. TUESDAY, OCT. 25, GRANADA THEATER, 3524 GREENVILLE AVE. $44 AT TICKETMASTER.COM Since its humble beginnings in East Kilbride, Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain has been centered on the partner- ship between brothers Jim and William Reid. The band made quite the impression on the post-punk world through the 1980s and ’90s be- fore splitting up in 1999. The band reunited in 2007 for one-off shows, small tours and the oc- casional soundtrack inclusion, all leading up to the release of the band’s 2017 release, Damage and Joy. While the album was met with a medi- ocre response from critics, fans sent the album up the charts and included it many year-end, best-of lists. Picking up right where they left off, The Jesus and Mary Chain continue to craft dis- arming ballads and fuzzy rock ‘n’ roll. Making the evening more enchanting, local darkwave band Rosegarden Funeral Party will be opening up the show. DF Mercyful Fate 6 P.M. TUESDAY, OCT. 25, THE FACTORY IN DEEP ELLUM, 2713 CANTON ST. $59+ AT AXS.COM Along with Venom and Bathory, Mercyful Fate was a part of the first wave of black metal, de- buting its sound in Denmark in 1981. While lis- teners today will hear the beginnings of thrash or speed metal in the band’s high-pitched gui- tars and heavy distortion, Mercyful Fate’s inclu- sion of prog-rock storytelling, epic song quality and theatrical performances would be picked up as the genre developed — especially singer King Diamond’s signature corpse paint makeup. The band has come and gone five times in its career, releasing seven albums sporadically over the last four decades. However, the band hasn’t re- leased an album of new material since going on its second hiatus in 1999. Over the course of the 21st century, Mercyful Fate has toured off and on, but in its most recent iteration, the band seems more permanent with a new album that is supposedly in the works. Thrash metal bands Kreator and Midnight will kick the night off. DF OCTOBER 20-26, 2022 DALLAS OBSERVER CLASSIFIED | MUSIC | DISH | CULTURE | UNFAIR PARK | CONTENTS dallasobserver.com
