Powerman 5000
Goldfield Trading Post - Roseville — Roseville, CA

Powerman 5000 is the industrial rock project of Spider One, brother of Rob Zombie. Emerging from the late 90s industrial metal scene, the band built their reputation on catchy, tongue-in-cheek hooks wrapped around genuinely heavy riffs. Their biggest hit, "Superman," became a staple of rock radio and video games, capturing the band's ability to blend accessibility with genuine heaviness. The project has always existed in the space between earnest hard rock and self-aware parody, which is where the appeal lives. Spider One's been prolific and consistent, treating Powerman 5000 as his primary creative outlet through multiple era shifts in rock and metal. They're not trying to reinvent themselves every album; they're more interested in what works and doing it well.

Their shows are straightforward rock shows where people actually want to sing along. The crowd tends to be there for the hooks and the heavy parts in equal measure. Spider One's got charisma on stage without needing to do much—just plays the songs well and doesn't overthink it.

Powerman 5000 rolled through Sacramento in April 2025 at Goldfield Trading Post, bringing their signature industrial rock assault to a packed room. The band tore through their catalog with the precision you'd expect from a group that's been grinding since the '90s, delivering the kind of high-octane set that reminds you why their blend of electronic aggression and rock mechanics still hits hard. The crowd got exactly what they came for: pure energy, no apologies. It's the kind of show that sticks with you—not because it reinvented anything, but because Powerman 5000 knows exactly what they do and they do it well.

Sacramento's music scene has always been a weird mix of farm town earnestness and genuine outsider weirdness. The city's given space to industrial and electronic acts over the years, even if it's never been the first place people think of for that sound. Powerman 5000 fits the bill of the kind of touring band that finds real appreciation here—acts with cult followings who know their audience shows up when they're in town.

Stay in Midtown Sacramento, where the neighborhood actually feels alive—walk to restaurants, bars, and galleries without planning logistics. Dinner at The Kitchen restaurant offers precise, ingredient-focused cooking that pairs well with the area's wine bar culture. Spend an afternoon at the Crocker Art Museum, one of the country's oldest art institutions, or wander the American River Bike Trail if you need to clear your head before the show. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets and vintage architecture beat anywhere else in town.
