For Omaha rock fans, Ugly Kid Joe w/ Platinum Moon is a chance to catch a nationally known ’90s-era hard rock name in Slowdown’s Main Room rather than a larger arena setting. The supporting bill adds newer rock voices alongside a headliner with a catalog that includes double-platinum-era releases and more recent material. (wl.eventim.us)
