Punker Than You 

Punker Than You 7 is this Saturday, March 23 at the Talk of the Town from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. We finally have all bands scheduled and ready to shred! As most of you know, this event was created in honor of our brother Jeremy Worrell who left this world on 4/1/2012. He was a true punk rocker, a lover of the outdoors and a bad ass mother fuc*er! As always, we have fabulous raffle prizes and a $15 cover at the door. Tickets are only available at the door the night of the show. Can’t wait to crack your ribs in the pit punkers!
