Queens of the Stone Age

Defined most commonly by their sinister slickness, Queens of the Stone Age are flipping the script on their gritty, manic hardness on their latest release Villains. A little Bowie and a dash of Motörhead, Queens of the Stone Age toy with a new brand of rock dystopia on Villains that rattles with dirty glam undertones courtesy of producer Mark Ronson (the man behind the boards of “Uptown Funk” and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black). With seven records under their belt, expect a head-banging live rock retrospective that will leave you haunted long after the lights come up.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m.; 2211 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-471-6611; 313presents.com; Tickets start at $65.
