M.I.A. - Murder in a Foreign Place 40th Anniversary Edition RECORD RELEASE PARTY!!!

We are throwing a record release bash for the 40th Anniversary Special Edition of Murder in a Foreign Place at The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas — the city where it all began — Friday, August 23, 2024. IT’S FREE and we’ll play two sets. One set will be Murder in a Foreign Place in its entirety, and the other will have songs from other albums. We’ll do a museum tour (must pay for admission to the museum for this), and we’ll have a raffle for rare M.I.A. goodies. This will be a good time, hope to see you there!

POST-GIG NOTES: This was a really fun show. I like the OC Tavern — a nice hall and a great crowd. One of the very best things, though, was that this was an all-ages show. Bands, listen up: there were a lot of high school-age kids there, and they brought a great energy with them. And the thing is, these kids need to hear this music. We still play loud, raw punk rock, maybe not quite as fast as we used to, but still; it’s different from most music coming out today, and it’s something that should be experienced live. I remember my early punk shows at the Cuckoo’s Nest and the raw energy and inspiration I found there, and that spirit was with us on Saturday (not just our band, but all the bands). If you want to keep punk alive, play shows for the kids and see what they do with it!
