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-‘90s. Thirty years and one breakup later, the band wraps its first U.S. tour since 1995. That tour stopped at St. Pete’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 Joe’s latest album Rad Wings of Destiny, and half of its debut America’s Least Wanted album.

Chris Jericho-fronted metal band Fozzy opens, after opening for Steel Panther in the same room and playing 98 Rockfest before that.

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