BYO Records along with Punk Rock Bowling have announced the first club show roll out, and it’s a doozy. The first show to be announced will be held on Friday, May 25 at the Fremont Country Club doors at 8 PM. The old school reunion is a nod to the legacy of BYO Records and features artists who have releases on the label from the past thirty-five years.
Kicking things off will be a rare reunion of Canada’s best-kept secret, Brand New Unit! Followed by Pistol Grip, who released their classic album, Shots from The Kalico Rose, featuring the chant heavy sing-along “Cruxcifixion Politix!” Then, another BYO favorite is Canada’s own S.N.F.U.! Chi Pig will eat your brain while singing the sweet sounds of “Cannibal Cafe,” “Misfortune,” and all their other frantic hits that solidified them in the annals of punk history!
Next up, the original Youth Brigade lineup is back! All three brothers will be there for a rare appearance and will perform their trademark anthemic tunes such as “Sink With California,” “Men In Blue,” and “Where Are All The Old Man Bars.” Trust us; they’ll be pulling out all the stops to celebrate the 20 Year Anniversary of Punk Rock Bowling! Closing the evening, and hailing from Reno, NV is the hardcore pioneers and one of the most influential punk bands of the 80’s, 7 Seconds! They released their first three albums with BYO including their classic debut, “The Crew” and have been going strong ever since. Brothers Kevin Seconds and Steve Youth, along with Troy and Bobby will be tearing it up with songs like “Here’s Your Warning,” “Young til I Die,” and “Walk Together Rock Together,” just to name a few.
The club shows start Thursday May 24th and run through Monday May 28th. On festival days, they will begin following the conclusion of each night’s festival stage in downtown. Punk Rock Bowling will roll out additional club show announcements through the next few weeks. These events will sell-out, presale codes are available with the purchase of 3-day festival passes until February 2nd. The main festival stage is all ages, but the club shows are 21+.
In addition to the band announcement there will be corresponding original art from each club show celebrating the 20th anniversary of the festival. The featured artist for this show is Brian Walsby, the madman that did this throwback poster, reminiscent of the “Walk Together, Rock Together” album design he did for 7 Seconds! You can check out Walsby’s art at the PRB Art Show that will be held at the festival grounds each day and in our upcoming 20 Year Anniversary Book!
