    Just grabbed my tickets.  Anyone else going?  That place is so small for a show like that.  Can't fit more than 100 or so.

    MC50 Poster Release on 50th Anniversary of Kick Out The Jams

    18 x 24

    ______________________

    I will be making a very limited release of the signed and numbered artist edition of my MC50 poster on Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at a random time — in celebration of the 50th Zenta New Year — in other words the 50th anniversary of the live concert recording of Kick Out The Jams!

    Read More (Zenta and the live recording of Kick Out The Jams)

    In May 2018, Wayne Kramer announced an MC5 tour to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kick Out the Jams, with a line-up including himself, plus rock stalwarts Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Brendan Canty (Fugazi), Doug Pinnick (King’s X), Marcus Durant (Zen Guerrilla), Don Was (Was Not Was), Bill Gould (Faith No More) and Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam)

    I’ve been a fan of the MC5 since I was 9 years old. I grew up in a rebellious time in a crucible of art and politics. Swept up by the social transformations of the late-60’s and early-70s, my whole family was effected: an older brother of draft-age, another brother going to Kent State after anti-war activists were shot by the National Guard there, a sister who went to art school in Memphis, and a cousin who lived in the Trans-Love commune in Ann Arbor where MC5 was based. MC5 was the soundtrack of revolutionary times and my family’s immersion in it. 

    Growing up in Dayton, Ohio, relatively close to Detroit, MC5’s brand of revolutionary rock and roll made a deep impression on me, influenced my musical and artistic tastes, my political development, and helped inspire my commitment to social issues. I have been lucky enough to work with Wayne Kramer on a few tour posters over the years. Wayne is a cultural icon and is always an inspiration to work with. I’m honored to contribute to his legacy as a musician who has rocked so hard in resistance to the injustices of the world. – Chuck Sperry

    You were just behind me and to the right!  What a show!

    Were you the guy hitting the vape pen (I thought that dude was being rather ballsy), or the guy just in front of Kim's pedal board?  And yes, it was a great show.  So great seeing a show in a venue that small.  Sound was great also.

    I read that they recorded that show, might have to pick that up.  I wonder if it will be a Vault?  From what I read it will be out early next year.

    It wasn't a vape and it was damn ballsy - speaking as the guy directly in front of the pedal board.

    Woah.  Actually a smoke?  Looked like it disappeared pretty quickly, and I didn't smell weed, so I figured it was either a weed/tobacco vape pen.  I saw some the smoke go right into Kim's face a couple of times thinking "ya know, it's just flat out rude."

    Is anyone else gong to the Aug 29th show at (Le) Poisson Rouge in NYC?

    I'm heading up from Philly.  I’ve only been to 
    (Le) Poisson Rouge once, but it’s a great little venue.  Can’t wait for this one!!!
