Shows this week: 108 * Man Man * Ronen Kauffman and more!

This week we have three extremely rare, very exciting shows to highlight, including a visit from one of hardcore music's most influential bands, the reunion of two of the area's most important punk rock bands of the 90's, and a massive show from a local favorite. Once again, if you're living in NYC, this is your lucky week.

SHOWS OF THE WEEK!



Saturday, June 30th - Ronen Kauffman Book Release (featuring the reunion of the Degenerics and Rock,star - w/ Gaslight Anthem) @ the Court Tavern in New Brunswick, NJ
On July 10th, Ronen Kauffman will release his debut book, "New Brunswick, New Jersey, Goodbye - Bands, Dirty Basements, and the Search for Self" via Hopeless Records. To celebrate this groundbreaking achievement, Kauffman will be hosting a party (selling and signing his new book) featuring performances from two of New Jersey's (and the East Coast's) most loved punk bands, THE DEGENERICS and ROCK,STAR (featuring members of Worthless United / The Ratchets / River City Rebels / Stormshadow). The two legends in their own right will be joined by another of Jersey's most recent up and comers, GASLIGHT ANTHEM (you can catch them on the road later this summer w/ Against Me!).

Sunday, July 1st - 108 @ The Knitting Factory in NYC (6:30pm)
After seeing a free Man Man show, what could possibly be better than witnessing one of the most influential and important bands in hardcore and heavy music. 108 has meant a lot of things to a lot of people over the past 14 years, but the initial announcement of the band’s arrival on the punk scene in the fall of 1992 remains the most apt description of its guiding spirit. In the 4 years following its formation, 108 constantly toured the US and Europe, releasing 3 extremely popular studio LP's, an EP, a live LP, and various songs on different compilations. When the guitar player decided to intensify his studies in Hinduism in 1996, 108 disbanded. After reuniting in 2005 for one-off special appearances, the band emerges once again to release their heaviest album to date, out tomorrow courtesy of Deathwish Records, entitled "A New Beat From A Dead Heart." Bear witness to the sick mosh and one of the craziest live shows you'll ever be a part of.
