Get tickets here!!! YES!!!! THIS SATURDAY, for the first time since 1981, punk icon Dez Cadena will perform a full Black Flag set!!! There are only 29 tickets left, so if you aree going to go, you probably should get your tickets like… RIGHT NOW. Dez will be doing all the classics that you love, backed by a killer all-star band- Society's Imitations… surely that band doesn't have members of Violent Society in it… Dez will be singing and playing guitar and on some tracks, in classic '81 style, just taking the mic and destroying the room with that classic tar-n-glass voice!!! Oh yes! This is a one time only thing!!! But, that's not all… the newly reformed Droogettes will be bashing it up with their punk meets oi! charge and they have a bunch of new songs! Plus, Noun, which is Marissa Paternoster of Screaming Females, Mean Nasrene, and Ash Crash of Pinkwash will be playing their heavy as hell post-punk damage! Plus, Philly Anarcho Hardcore smashers The Brood are going to lay waste to the show! That's May 16 at Philamoca in Philly (531 N. 12th street). Note that this is a matinee show and doors are at 1pm… so you can go see one of the greatest hardecore vocalists ever and have plenty of time to walk across the street and see They Might Be Giants. Of course, this show is all ages! See you there!!! ***and yes, yes, we know Dez plays Black Flag tunes in the astoundingly great FLAG, but this set is ALL DEZ front and center, baby!!!

Tulsa-based Cliffdiver have announced that they will be going on indefinite hiatus. The band announced this in a social media post which reads, ”After 8 good years, we’ve agreed as a band to hit the pause button on Cliffdiver. This wasn’t a decision we made easily – for months we’ve been trying to think of ways to continue the band in a different capacity, but it just didn’t make sense. We were built from day one to be a touring band, obsessed with being road dogs and playing as many shows as possible. Unfortunately, mostly due to health restrictions and personal obligations, we’re just not built that way anymore. We’ve always been 100% or nothing, and it didn’t feel right to just ‘halfway’ be a band and not put our full effort into everything Cliffdiver does. We’re eternally grateful for every opportunity we’ve had and realize how unlikely it is that a band from Oklahoma experiences what we were fortunate enough to. We got to share the stage and tour alongside the people who inspired us to play music, play some of the biggest punk rock festivals in the world, work with on-of-a-kind producers and recording studios, release two albums we’re so proud of with a legendary record label, witness many of our peers go from house shows to world tours, and most importantly develop lasting relationships with fans of our music, other bands and artists, and so many incredible people working in the industry. We have a handful of new songs that we’ll be releasing this summer, along with two final shows – one in OKC and one in Tulsa. We’re not entirely sure if this is goodbye, see you later, or what exactly, but it’s important to us that we let y’all know how thankful we are for everyone who stuck with us and helped create such an insanely positive community around our music. It changed our lives for the better.”Cliffdiver’s final shows will take place on July 11 at 89th Street in Oklahoma City and July 18 at the Vanguard in Tulsa. The band released their album birdwatching in 2024. Check out the post in full below.
