Insane Clown Posse's Violent J on new Joker's Cards, Hallowicked, more
For Insane Clown Posse fans, it's the most wonderful time of the year. The demented Detroit rap duo is headlining its annual Hallowicked concert Saturday night at the Masonic Temple. It's the Spooky Season tradition's 33rd year; going back to 1994, ICP has performed in its hometown every year on Halloween night. (There was just one exception, in 1996, when ICP's Joseph "Violent J" Bruce shattered his collarbone in a pro wrestling match, and the Halloween show was postponed until December.) The face-painted, Faygo-loving Clowns have been weaving the tale of the Dark Carnival, the umbrella under which their entire mission unfolds, since the release of their debut album, "Carnival of Carnage," in 1991. Last year's "The Naught" represented the sixth and final entry in the group's second deck of "Joker's Cards," the storytelling cycles that have made up the group's main thread of recorded output; one more five-album cycle remains before the Clowns say they'll call it quits. With Hallowicked on the horizon — along with a pair of shows Oct. 29 and 30 at The Vault, their first-ever concerts in Saginaw — we talked to Violent J, 54, about all things ICP, including his Juggalo Championship Wrestling pro
