Green Jelly at Photo City Music Hall in Rochester on May 1 is one of those bookings that defies categorization and is better for it. The comedy-metal outfit — whose “Three Little Pigs” video was an early MTV staple — has been delivering a live show built on costumes, absurdity, and surprisingly competent heavy metal since the late ’80s. The music is real. The spectacle is intentional. The line between the two is wherever the band decides to draw it on a given night.
Photo City in the Finger Lakes is a solid room for controlled chaos. The Rochester venue’s intimate scale means the costumes and the stage antics are in your face rather than across a football field.
