Veteran glam punks Subsonics from Atlanta, GA are on a West Coast tour. We caught them at Thee Stork Club in Oakland with a varied lineup of local bands.
First up were Oakland’s Johnny Maraca and The Marockers, high energy punk, highly entertaining. They have a cassette/digital LP from last year on their Bandcamp.
The Seagulls from San Francisco, fronted by British songwriter Jon Brooder play solid garage punk. They have a new (March 2023) release “This Time Next Year” on Bandcamp.
The penultimate band, Fantasy, are a bit of a mystery. We didn’t catch up with them at the show and we’re not sure if they have an online presence. They were more pop-y punk rock. We will update if we track down more information.
Atlanta, GA’s Subsonics have been around since 1992 and have 8 full-length releases under their belt. Signed to Slovenly Records, they deliver stripped down, minimal rock’n’roll.

Allegations aren’t a conviction. Innocent until proven guilty.

I feel like it’s pretty telling that the band broke up and didn’t just go on hiatus, or worse, carry on like nothing happened.
Seriously?
LOL there’s always one of you, isn’t there? No one said allegations were a conviction. But this isn’t a court of law. We’re allowed to form our opinions without being held to the same standard as a jury, especially when our opinions are informed based on a history of similar behavior and multiple allegations around the same person. I believe her, and I stand with survivors.

Yo this is why. Dying Scene might wanna get ahead of this story. Justin Sane has been doing this for years, ask around.

I had a similar, but thankfully not as bad, experience with Justin when I was 19 and he was 30 and I thought we were friends after chatting after a show in Aus one night. Tried super hard to get me to send him nudes, told me he would fly back to my city so we could go to a nude beach together, invited me to his hotel room loads of times, answered the door in his jocks when i came to pick him up from the hotel to go have breakfast. Tried to get me and my very young looking friend to have a threesome with him. All denied of course. He also told me that the singer from Paramore was cheating on her husband at the time. Chad? And trying to fuck him on the side while they were in Australia, in order to gain my trust by sharing something that he “didn’t want me to tell anyone”.
That’s my input. I believe her.

Good grief. I’m sorry you went through that. Thank you for sharing your story.
