UK punks, The Adicts, stopped at the legendary venue, The Fillmore, and were joined by Bay Area punks, Monster Squad, and Dog Party.
The Adicts are known for their sensational live show and they didn’t disappoint.
The crowd was filled with punks in classic studded vests to droog styles. Mimicking The Adicts, even some little ones adorned bowler caps and face paint. It was also a multigenerational affair, both on and off stage, all coming together for a night of music.
Sister duo, Dog Party setoff the show to a great start. The Giles sisters have been taking stages by storm since they were very young, and their pure rocker spirit has continued to develop over the years.
Monster Squad have been a relentless force in the punk scene that have shaped so many of us, and tonight was no exception. They were the stepping stone to a night mixed with nostalgia and old sounds that still sound fresh.
Richy Russell filled in for rhythm guitarist Chris Chapel. Richy and drummer Matt Kadi have been long-time collaborators, also playing together in Build Us Airplanes. As much as Chris was missed, Richy gave a solid performance.
Monster Squad continued to build the energy before The Adicts took to the stage, and the circle pit began to rally.
The overall night was bound by community and felt like a small show, scaled up.
