A co-headlining show with the infamous Scorpion vs Tarantula. The Freaks of Nature will make their debut on this very same night. The Freaks are born out of the still smoldering ashes of The Wrong Ones (and the Killed Kids) and have honed in on their own’ stompin’ version of 60’s garage punk. You gotta see these guys.
Thanks to Will at the Anti-Snob music blog for listing The Father Figures on his best of 2011 mix CD:
23. “K Is Dead” by The Father Figures (Lesson Number One)So only one local band makes my Best of 2011 mix. The Father Figures are a power trio featuring members of Hillbilly Devilspeak, JFA, and The Voice. Bassist-turned-guitar-extraordinaire Michael Cornelius lays down some heavy Mission Of Bruma inspired chord slashing while the rhythm section of bassist/vocalist Tom Reardon and drummer Bobby Lerma are easily a less-complicated, yet still worthy version of Lally/Canty. If you only have the budget to buy one local band this year then I recommend buy The Father Figures debut CD from CDBABY.

Punk legends, SkateRock pioneers, fellow skateboarders. Call them what you will, JFA are returning to Arizona on Saturday, October 15 to the Hollywood Alley to celebrate their official 30th anniversary with friends and family with a blistering set of new killer tunes, along with a whole mess of their classic songs that defined a generation of skateboarding locally and around the world.
Get your ticket now. We expect this to sell out.
JFA‘s new record, Speed of Sound totally kicks ass. Get one here. Joining in the festivities will be AZPX Records recording artists The Father Figures along with Anarchy Taco. Remember the Vandals?, these guys play Vandals songs better than the Vandals themselves. Just because. Asses of Evil will open the show featuring original JFA drummer Bam Bam and skate legend Todd Joseph on Bass. Also, we will be raffling off AZPX, JFA and FF merch to raise money for the ladies of the Roller Derby who graciously gave up this booking at Hollywood to accommodate us. Thank you, ladies!!
