As if those Tricky Falls people don't have on their plate with Green Day and Morrissey, among others, on their docket, they've added dates by two very different kind of metal bands.
Ever-evolving experimental metalists Dillinger Escape Plan, armed with new album "One of Us Is the Killer," will play the club at 8 p.m. May 23.
The Faceless and Royal Thunder will open.
Tickets are $20, on sale at 10 a.m. March 1 (same day as Green Day). You can get 'em at All That Music & Video, Bowie Feathers, Eloise, Maria's Closet and holdmyticket.com.
The same locations will have tickets for the April 18 stop by Soilwork, the Swedish death metalists (the band originally had announced an April 20 date there). The band's "Living Infinite" album came out today.

• The revolving door at the El Paso Opera production of "The Barber of Seville" has stopped with David Pershall.
He's a baritone who'll sing the role of Figaro in the comic opera, which EPO will stage at 7:30 p.m. March 14 and 16 at the Chavez Theatre.
Pershall is originally from Temple and graduated from Baylor University before continuing his studies at Yale. He's considered an up-and-comer, who has worked with the Dallas Opera, the Virginia Opera and was a cover (like an understudy) in the Metropolitan Opera production of "Maria Stuarda."
He replaced the previously announced Michael Chioldi, who was in last year's "The Marriage of Figaro" at UTEP. Chioldi was to replace the previously announced Nicholas Pallesen.
In related news, some of the cast members will appear at a launch party (or is that relaunch) for the company's revived Bravo Alliance, a support group for young professionals.
The bash will be at 7 p.m. March 2 at the Loft Light Studios, 315 S. El Paso. Admission is free. Membership is $80 per person, $150 for couples.
