Awesome autumn shows set here

In case you had forgotten, last week’s torrential rains were a reminder that, being in the Upper Midwest, we do not have an endless summer here in Madison. Things get gray, things get cold, and people head indoors.

Let’s all get an early jump on Thanksgiving, then, and be thankful that fall’s also the time when the concert scene revs up again to greet us. This one looks especially promising….

Sept. 19, Tool, Kohl Center: Expect a feast for the eyes as well as the ears as the innovative and unsettling art-metal band plays what may be the hardest show the Kohl Center has ever hosted (aside from KISS, perhaps).
