Best bet: Thorlock

Get ready to rumble -- these bands will shake the ground. Thorlock conquers the stage and brings in some regional groups as backup. The heavy metal group never fails to blow audiences away. They're as musically clean as they are unapologetically loud. The Cape Girardeau natives will appear on stage with St. Louis band The Lion's Daughter, Louisville, Ky.'s Old Vikings and Voyage of Slaves from Paducah, Ky., making a sampler platter of hard-core heavy metal. Music starts at 8 p.m. Saturday at Pitter's Cafe and Lounge. Admission is $5. Show is 18 and older.
