Sunday: Liquid Kitty's Punk Rock BBQ is Ready to Slam
()

It's the most wonderful time of the year again -- Liquid Kitty's Winter Punk Rock BBQ! The lineup is raging this time around, with Third Grade Teacher making an extremely rare appearance. Sabrina will once again be speaking in tongues, freaking out the audience and rocking your face off. Also in an ultra-rare appearance, Santa Sabbath (with LAist's own Bobzilla on vocals) will be -- yep, you guessed it -- singing Black Sabbath-inspired Christmas carols (as Kitty honcho Dave Childs puts it, "Punk is perverse so, Christmas in February is exactly right."). You've got a little yuletide spirit left around somewhere; try looking under the couch.
Fans of the era when American indie rock was ruled by the acts on SST Records can check out the latest projects from legendary guitar hero Sylvia Juncosa (ex-SWA, To Damascus and leader of her own incendiary power trio), Spot (producer of many pivotal SST albums including Damaged and Zen Arcade, performing his own folk-fueled tuneage) and former Saccharine Trust/ Slovenly drummer Rob Holtzman (with his latest band Landfill, South Bay pub-punk the way you remember it.) There's also free hot dogs while they last, Frank Booth-approved PBR drafts for next to nothing, and best of all, no cover. Whether you want to recover your own lost innocence or just get started losing whatever innocence you have left, it's the place to be on Sunday.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
