1. Adult Swim has turned its animated series, Metalocalypse – about the exploits of Dethklok, a virtual death metal band (pictured) – into a national tour. In an interview with Ultimate Guitar, Brendon Small (the real-life producer of Dethklok’s music) 
said that the Dethklok show will be like that of the Gorillaz, with animated characters but also featuring Small's ensemble of live musicians performing visibly. The tour stops at Jannus Landing tonight.
