This concert brings together three generations of punk rock in Washington. Social Distortion, the legendary Orange County band formed in 1978, headlines with their hard-driving blend of punk, country, and blues. They'll be joined by fellow California punks Descendents and Australian garage-punks The Chats, promising a night of high-energy performances.
Social Distortion, led by Mike Ness, has been a staple of the punk scene for over four decades, with hits like "Ball and Chain" and "Story of My Life." Their live shows are known for raw intensity and anthemic choruses. Descendents bring fast-paced melodic hardcore, while The Chats deliver raw, humorous punk rock.
