Voodoo ZZ Top

ZZ Top are playing The Factory on Wednesday, November 4, as part of the Voodoo series. It's a mid-week show, so you'll have the rest of the work week to recover from it.

If you haven't spent much time there yet, The Factory is a music club built from the ground up in St. Louis, and it's a big one: 52,000 square feet designed specifically for live music. It's the first performance venue in the Midwest built from the ground up in over twenty years, and the people behind it describe it as a place built on a foundation of solid rock and roll. That's a fitting description for a ZZ Top night.

ZZ Top has been around long enough to be a part of the furniture for anyone who grew up with rock and roll, and they're still out on the road. This stop is part of the Voodoo cycle, so it's not a one-off. The band's whole thing—the Texas shuffle, the distorted guitar, the beards—is exactly what you'd expect from a night like this. It's a straightforward rock show, and that's the draw. If you've followed them from the early records through to the later ones, you know the sound they've stuck with.

Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster, and you can find the full tour schedule on the band's official site. The show is on Wednesday, November 4, at The Factory in St. Louis.
