California-based alt-metal outfit Ugly Kid Joe holds the honor of having composed the first EP to ever go platinum, back in the early-โ€˜90s. Thirty years and one breakup later, the band wraps its first U.S. tour since 1995. That tour stopped at St. Peteโ€™s Club Detroit and on Sunday, this fifth-to-last show on the tour returns to First Block. Expect to hear a handful of tracks from Ugly Kid Joeโ€™s latest album Rad Wings of Destiny, and half of its debut Americaโ€™s Least Wanted album.

Tickets to see Ugly Kid Joe w and Fozzy play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Sunday, June 4 are still available for $20.
