On March 6, Albuquerque’s own Launchpad presents Capture the Crown, Ice Nine Kills, and Portrait of a Mastermind. Doors for this 13+ show are scheduled to open at 7 p.m., with the first band taking the stage at 8 p.m. Entry is only $10 but is subject to change at the door.
Hailing from Australia, Capture the Crown play a combination of hardcore/metal the Aussie way. The band’s latest full-length studio CD is titled Til Death.
Massachusetts’s Ice Nine Kills play metalcore (and read Vonnegut, apparently). The band’s latest full-length studio CD is titled Safe is Just a Shadow.
Albuquerque’s Portrait of a Mastermind play progressive metal with hints of hardcore. Check out band merch here.
Around since 1997, Albuquerque’s Launchpad has played host to bands of numerous genres, including punk, indie rock, and metal. The Launchpad is located on 618 Central Avenue Southwest, which is between 6th and 7th streets.
