Ron Holbrook Benefit

For the third year running, 2 Nights of Boston’s finest punk bands will get together to raise money for the family of our fallen friend Ron Holbrook. The Welch Boys, Ron’s old band, will be playing both nights.

Kicking off on Saturday, February 13th there will be performances from some amazing bands, including Burning Streets, The Beantown Boozehounds, Snipes, Drago and Dead Friends.

The following night, Sunday, February 14th brings the long awaited return of The Blue Bloods, as well as the CD Release for Refuse Resist’s new album “SOCIALIZED”. Rounding out the lineup will be local favorites Ashers and The Murder, as well as Full Powered Halo. Treat your valentine to something truly special this year by bringing them to the show!

All proceeds from the door as well as 50% of Refuse Resist’s CD sales go to the family of Ron Holbrook.

Check out the Facebook Event Page! See you there!

Hey all, just wanted to let you know we’ll be returning to KC’s Tap in Pawtucket RI this Friday, January 22nd.

We’re doing something a little different, and this will be the first of hopefully many shows that we perform as an acoustic act. I’ve always thought of our songs as akin to the protest music of the 1970’s, and this will help to establish that. Hot off the heels of this Tuesday’s Senate Election, I feel like the country is in a period of flux, and we’ll be sure to be there when the tides turn, six strings in hand, promoting our message of freedom and liberty from government tyranny!

Supporting us will be our good friends WORM, Tex Railer’s Doomtown and Wicked Whiskey. Tex Railer’s and Wicked Whiskey are fellow Boston acts, while WORM is an up and coming group straight from our old stomping grounds on the South Shore.

Doors open at 8pm, so get there early!

If you haven’t already, why don’t you RSVP on the Facebook Event Page

Halloween Matinee!

The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, the leaves are falling, and there is a slight chill in the air. What does it all mean? That Halloween is right around the corner, and with that bring a slew of shows featuring your favorite bands covering your favorite bands!

This year will be no exception, and I can say in all honesty that this may just be the most highly anticipated event of the year.

On the afternoon of All Hallows Eve, The Murder will perform as White Zombie at The Midway Cafe, 3496 Washington St, Jamaica Plain! This won’t be just another cover set, but a full on production, complete with lights, sound, special effects and more!

Providing support will be Fulton Reed (AKA The Old Edison), performing as Slapshot and other Boston bands (In their own unique acoustic style), The Designer Drugs as Bikini Kill and local legend Squallie Greenthumb as Jack White, of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs.

The show is a matinee, with doors opening at 3:00pm, so there’ll be plenty of time to Trick or Treat and party afterwards. Bring your little ghoul or goblin along too, as it is all ages!

The cover is $8, but wear a costume and only pay $5! (Sorry kids, being a “punk rocker” doesn’t count as a costume)

Last but not least, there will be Free Candy and other treats for you to enjoy. This will be one of the defining moments of the year, and you don’t want to be left out when everyone is talking about it after the fact!

If you’re on Facebook, why not check out the event page and RSVP!

See you there, and have a Happy Halloween!
