93X BUTTERBALL
Friday: It's supposed to be a warmup to Thanksgiving, but this year's Butterball feels more like a flashback to Halloween. Horrific metal man Rob Zombie headlines as part of his "Hellbilly Deluxe 2 Tour," hyping the album of the same name, a sequel to his 1998 solo debut. The ex-White Zombie frontman might be something of a one-trick, ghoul-faced rocking horse, although he has also shown flair as a movie director of late. But he always puts on a fun, visceral show with a mighty band. He has a pair of interesting openers this time, too: Danish trio Nekromantix and the mysterious Captain Clegg and the Night Creatures, both Cramps-style psychobilly bands, the latter of which was seen in Zombie's "Halloween 2" flick. (7:30 p.m. $40. Roy Wilkins Auditorium, 175 W. Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul. 1-800-982-2787.)
