NEON TODAY

If you sliced open any of the dudes in thrash throwback Municipal Waste, chances are, they’d bleed denim. Or maybe a couple of buckets of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

An ’80s-style, hard-core-influenced metal troupe that comes on like an even drunker D.R.I., this bunch is the worst thing to happen to your liver since the advent of Tequiza. They dubbed their latest disc “The Art of Partying,” and yes, Virginia, you will have a hangover.

See the band at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, 3950 Las Vegas Blvd. South. Tickets are $22; call 632-7600.
