We’ve got 17 weeks until the return of Butter Stamos (or some other butter sculpture).
NOFX
So stoked to see these guys. They go way back to the early days of California Punk with Rancid, Green Day, Offspring. The 90s. Always walking a fine line around controversy with their lyrics and fashion but great musically. For me they got lost up in that wave of mid 90’s punk and I never embraced them, but their recent collaboration with Frank Turner put them back on my radar and I’m so glad it did. Still in the midst of controversy (google them and see why they aren’t at Punk Rock Bowling) but so important to punk. They were at many Warped Tours I was at but my memory of them is missing so I’ll consider this my first time seeing them. Oh and a head’s up the lead singer may be wearing a dress and have blue or pink hair. His name is Fat Mike.
Fever 333
New band outta LA. Rap Core, Hardcore, Metal Funk? I dunno but when I heard them I had visions of RATM, if Zach screamed more. I bet you will too, not to disservice them or Rage. And there’s only three of them-vocalist, drummer, and guitar/bass. Check them out. I predict they take the prize for the Slaves-surprise-in your face-what was that award.
Meg Myers
Soon to be a fave of KJ, Meg Myers is from Nashville but broke through after moving to LA. Considered art pop or alternative.
