He’s one of the alternative music scene’s long-standing icons. Trent Reznor, known more commonly to his fans as the heart of Nine Inch Nails, hits Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre Dec. 5 in what may be the City of Gardens’ most anticipated show of 2008.
Nine Inch Nails is skipping Vancouver on its current swing through British Columbia. That means mainlanders could be flooding B.C. Ferries this Friday.
Nine Inch Nails burst onto the scene with Pretty Hate Machine in 1989, an album written and performed solely by Reznor. He began assembling band members in Cleveland in 1988 and has seen many come and go in 20 years as he changed the focus of his live shows and changes direction in studio.
Nine Inch Nails has released eight full-length albums, the latest being 2008’s The Slip, which drew favourable reviews from critics, but mixed reviews from fans. Currently Reznor’s touring lineup consists of drummer Robin Finck, keyboardist Alessandro Cortini and bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen.
Opening for Reznor and company is The Bug (Kevin Martin) a London-based musician.
The Victoria show is sold out, but some walk-up tickets may be available at the Save-On Foods Centre ticket windows.
