Gonzo rocker
Ted Nugent
is back and the Electric Factory has him. That's the new - old - Electric Factory rock club, now being run in overt competition against its former employers (Live Nation) by promoters Larry Magid and Adam Spivak with ace booker Brian Dilworth. They're taking chances (Nugent) and calling in old friends like
Phil Collins
, doing his "Up Close & Personal" retrospective of '60s Motown. Later in the week, another kind of loaded gun,
Courtney Love
, arrives with the comeback edition of
Hole
and the riotously fun opening act
Foxy Shazam
. Competition brings more shows to town and sometimes pushes ticket prices down, though Collins ain't giving it away.
Electric Factory, 421 N. 7th St., Ted Nugent plus Val Halla, 8:30 p.m. tomorrow, $35/$38; Phil Collins, 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, $75/$77; Hole plus Foxy Shazam, 8:30 p.m. Wednesday $35/$38, 215-627-1332, www.electricfactory.info.
