What the hell is a Locobazooka, and why am I talking about it? The parody moniker of the successful Lollapalooaza, seems to be a metal fest that will take place at various fairgrounds and motor speedways this summer. Filter, Sevendust, and Gravity Kills will headline the event, which ignites June 27 in Milwaukee. According to Billboard.com, Audiovent, Nonpoint, Reveille, and Mushroomhead will also join the festival, as more acts will be named later. Sevendust recently released Animosity, which stands at 25 this week on Billboardís Top Independent Albums chart. Filter’s new record, The Amalgamut, will see the light of day on July 23 via Reprise. While Gravity Kills are still riding the success of their Superstarved release, which dropped in March.
