Get ready, Roseville! The post-hardcore scene is about to explode on December 7, 2024, when Scary Kids Scaring Kids roll into town. This isn’t just any old concert – it’s a full-blown musical riot at Goldfield Trading Post, 238 Vernon Street. Doors open at 7:00 PM, so don’t be late!
The Band That Refuses to Die
Scary Kids Scaring Kids (SKSK for short) is like that horror movie villain who just won’t stay down. Formed way back in 2002 in Gilbert, Arizona, these guys have been through more ups and downs than a rollercoaster. They’ve broken up, gotten back together, and even tragically lost their original lead singer. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes (fitting for an Arizona band), SKSK is back and louder than ever.
What’s in a Name?
Let’s talk about that name for a second. Scary Kids Scaring Kids. It’s a mouthful, right? Apparently, they borrowed it from a Cap’n Jazz song. It’s the kind of name that makes parents raise an eyebrow and teenagers grin. Perfect for a band that’s all about raw emotion and energy.
The Music: Not Your Grandma’s Lullabies
You might want to bring earplugs if you’re expecting gentle melodies and soothing rhythms. SKSK is known for its “reckless, incendiary live show.” Think screaming vocals that suddenly melt into smooth melodies, guitar riffs that could wake the dead, and drum beats that’ll make your heart skip.Their music is like a good therapy session—it’s loud, it’s messy, and you’ll probably feel better after screaming along to it.
The Comeback Kids
After a long hiatus, SKSK came back swinging in 2019. They’ve been touring, releasing new music, and generally reminding everyone why they were such a big deal in the first place. Their 2022 album “Out of the Light” featured a revolving door of guest vocalists, proving that these guys still know how to keep things fresh and exciting.
The Roseville Invasion
Now, SKSK is bringing their brand of musical mayhem to Roseville, California. Goldfield Trading Post, usually known for its laid-back vibe, is about to get a serious shake-up. The walls might not know what hit them.
Not Just a One-Band Show
SKSK isn’t coming alone. They’re bringing along some friends to warm up the crowd. ERVSED and A Sleep Like Death will be kicking off the night. If you’ve never heard of them, don’t worry – this is your chance to discover your new favorite band before all your friends do.
What to Expect
If you’ve never been to a post-hardcore show before, here’s a quick primer:
- It’s going to be loud. Like, really loud.
- There will probably be a mosh pit. Don’t panic, it’s all in good fun.
- You might leave with your ears ringing and your voice hoarse from singing along.
- You’ll definitely leave with a new appreciation for the raw power of live music.
The Venue: Goldfield Trading Post
Goldfield Trading Post isn’t your average concert venue. It’s got character, charm, and probably a few stories it could tell if walls could talk. The intimate setting means you’ll be up close and personal with the band. No binoculars are needed here!
Why You Should Go
Look, we could tell you that this show will be a life-changing experience. We could say it’ll be the concert of the year. But let’s be real – it will be a fun night out with great music and high energy. If you’re a fan of SKSK, you’re obviously going. If you’re new to the band or the genre, this is your chance to see all the fuss.
Plus, let’s face it – what else would you do on a Saturday night in Roseville? Binge-watch another series? Come on, live a little!
