The Queers- 10:45pm Kepi Ghoulie- 10pm The Riptides- 9:15pm The Perverts- 8:30pm Tickets: $12 advance, $14 day of show The Queers are a pop punk band from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, formed in 1982. Singer/Guitarist/Songwriter Joe King has been the principal member of the group, with a vast number of musicians cycling in and out of the band over the years. Supposedly, the band name ”�Queers’ was used simply to poke fun at what he called the “Art Fag”� community in NH. That same brand of humor and inanity has become a staple of The Queers music, who have produced songs such as “Can’t Stop Farting”�, “Born to Do Dishes”�, and “I Didn’t Get Invited To The Prom”� in their own Ramones-esque style. While some punk rock bands attempt to use their music to impart a social or political message, King has made it clear that The Queers exist simply to play punk rock for the fun of it. Kepi was the bassist and vocalist for Sacramento, California based pop-punk band the Groovie Ghoulies. He has been recording and touring both with a full band and as an acoustic soloist since the Ghoulies’ break-up in mid 2007 The Perverts are a punk band from Los Angeles CA. They are influenced by bands like The Ramones The Queers The Dwarves The Perverts are all about having a good time, They sing about fun stuff, and if it offends you, you need to stop take a long look at life and then fuck off!
