Dead Boys/Archie and the Bunkers

To mark the 40th anniversary of their seminal punk album, Young, Loud & Snotty, guitarist Cheetah Chrome and drummer Johnny Blitz have revived the Dead Boys for this tour in support of a new version of the album. Formed in Cleveland in 1976, the Dead Boys were one of the first American acts to play what would come to be known as hardcore punk. Young, Loud and Snotty, their 1977 debut, featured the blistering underground hit “Sonic Reducer.” The band broke up in 1979 but reunited for a few shows in the 1980s. After the death of singer Stiv Bators in 1990, the band members have rarely played together. Guitarist Jason Kottwitz, bassist Ricky Rat and singer Jake Hout, who performs in the Dead Boys tribute band the Undead Boys, will join Chrome and Blitz. (Jeff Niesel)
