Punk Rock Karaoke
Foufounes Electriques
April 12, 2017
The concept of Punk Rock Karaoke is simple enough — a live band of punk rock all-stars play while members from the crowd get up to belt out the hits. This current tour lineup features heavy hitters Steve Soto (The Adolescents), Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks / Bad Religion), Stan Lee (The Dickies) and Darrin Pfeiffer (Goldfinger / Sum 41), offering up a whack of punk anthems from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
Half the fun of this particular show was the between-song banter, a sort of Punk Rock 101 that should really be a show in itself — Stan Lee’s story of selling (and then shooting up) a naked Iggy Pop with dope when he was 15-years-old was pretty mind-blowing.
Like with any sort of karaoke, the night lives and dies by the vocalists, most of which did a pretty great (or at least entertaining) job.
