The buzz has been circling around Machine Head ever since the metal band announced the making of a new album, “Unto The Locust”. With the album’s release date fast approaching, September 27th to be exact, Machine Head will be celebrating its release with fans in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Oakland. These four listening events will also allow fans to hear the new album in its entirety. The band will not be performing at any of these shows, but Machine Head will be joining fans, friends and industry at all four events, each unique in its own way. These events will be free to attend, but space is limited at some of these venues. So the earlier you Shockya readers get there, the better.

Here is the scoop on the four events:

Thursday, September 22nd, Los Angeles, CA at On The Rox – 9009 West Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069 – Presented by Full Metal Jackie – 10PM, 21 & Over
