Their name is as twisted as their stage makeup, as Vernon will see when 11-time Billboard-charting rap duo Twiztid brings its Canadian Juggalo Invasion tour to 2929 Nite Club Thursday, April 7.
The tour will feature performances of several of the Detroit duo’s top hits, including rap and hard-rock crossover tracks.
This is Twiztid’s third and biggest tour of Canada, featuring stops in 16 cities.
“If you’ve never seen Twiztid live, I’ll put it this way, it’s a raucous, high-energy and interactive night for concertgoers, to say the least. These shows aren’t just events, they’re practically parties,” said publicist Natalie Camillo.
Made up of diabolical duo Jamie Madrox and Monoxide, Twiztid rose from the underground Detroit scene to seize the hip hop world with their sinister lyrics and infectious beats. Their music is a potent concoction of hardcore hip-hop, rock, horror cinema with theatrical stylings – think Rob Zombie meets Insane Clown Posse meets Eminem.
The duo’s most recent full-length album, The Darkness, debuted on the Billboard Top 200 charts at #29, marking Twiztid’s 11th album to debut on the Billboard Top 100 chart since 1997.
With a cult following, Twiztid are also self-operated media giants.
They now independently release their own albums on their Majik Ninja Entertainment label, which was created after their split from ICP’s Psychopathic Records in 2012.
Vernon can catch the macabre mania when Twiztid takes the stage Thursday, April 7 at 2929, 2900 29th St.
Opening is Blaze Ya Dead Homie, BoonDox, Lex The Hex Master and Trilogy with special local guest Alfy O.
Doors open at 7 p.m. Show starts at 8 p.m. 19-plus only. Tickets are $20 at the club or order at www.getqd.com/twiztid-vernon/
