OFF! | NYC | Review

By: Ron Hart

OFF! :: 10.22.10 :: Generation Records :: New York, NY


OFF!’s debut, The First Four EPs, is out digitally worldwide. iTunes has the exclusive bonus track “Zero Hour” and eMusic has the exclusive bonus track “Sexy Capitalists.” The vinyl box set and cassette versions of The First Four EPs will be released on December 14th.

OFF! by Dan Monick

For a guy who collects vinyl, having to wait in line for a show in the basement of one of your favorite record shops instead of thumbing through the racks is a practice in restraint no crate digger worth his weight in wax should be required to endure. But when the concert you are waiting to see is an intimate performance from former Black Flag/Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris’ new California punkcore supergroup OFF!, it is well worth the torture.

Formed by Morris in 2009 and rounded out by guitarist Dimitri Coats of Burning Brides, Rocket from the Crypt drummer Mario Rubalcaba and Steven McDonald of Red Kross fame on bass guitar, the band is a total throwback to the days when punk rock was a bloodsport, a time that Morris fondly recalled several times over the course of OFF!’s half-hour set.

In fact, right when we walked down the steps of Generation Records’ nugget-rich used section that comprises the basement, Morris was in the middle of a yarn about his old bandmate in Black Flag, Robo, making extra money in the old days allegedly digging ditches for a snuff film operation before OFF! tore into an uncompromising mini-set that featured select tunes from the band’s excellently brief 7-inch box set The First Four EPs. As records by Iggy Pop, AC/DC, David Bowie and The Who adorned the wall behind them, the quartet played loud, fast and fearless, tearing through minute-long songs like “Darkness,” “Killing Away” and “Fuck People” with the tenacity of a far younger band, interspersed with Morris musing on everything from the capitalist practices of his former peers on the L.A. scene like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gwen Stefani to meeting guitarist McDonald when he was just an 11-year-old Black Flag fan who used to sneak into shows.

However, the most poignant moment of the evening came when Morris performed a stirring, ferocious tribute to his old pal, the late Jeffrey Lee Pierce of western punk icons The Gun Club, and with whom Keith was in the early stages of working on a musical collaboration before Pierce tragically succumbed to a brain hemorrhage in 1996.

And nothing was cooler than seeing this whole thing go down at Generation, a place where so many NYC punk fans discovered the dreadlocked trail of inspiration, influence and energy Keith Morris has blazed for over 30 years and continues to do so as a 55-year-old creating some of the most incendiary sounds of the 21st century.

Korn & Disturbed: 2011 Co-Headlining Tour

TOUR STARTS JANUARY 14 IN BLOOMINGTON, IL


Korn

Korn and Disturbed are teaming up to co-
headline this year’s “Monster Energy Music As A Weapon 5 Tour”. Tickets for the first leg of the tour are set to go on
sale the weekend of December 4. The bands have decided that the first 1000 tickets from each show will be sold at
a $5 discount during the on sale weekend in order to reward the early buyers and fans.

“A lot of promoters only offer discounted tickets a day or two before the actual show date. We wanted to do
something for the fans that are buying their tickets as soon as they go on sale. To offer a discount upfront made the
most sense to us,” commented Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan.

“We’re tired of promoters offering discounted tickets to last minute folks in order to sell the seats in the back of the
gig. We’d rather give our fans a discount for buying early,” said James “Munky” Shaffer, who is Korn’s
guitarist.

Phil Ochs Doc Out 01/05/11

ADVANCED SCREENINGS IN NEW YORK

First Run Features is pleased to invite you and a guest to a special advance screening of Phil Ochs: There But
For Fortune
, the new film by acclaimed filmmaker Kenneth Bowser (Easy Riders, Raging Bulls &
Live From New York, SNL in the 70s) about one of the most iconic folk music heroes and political agitators in
American history.

As prolific as he was passionate, Ochs released seven acclaimed albums and wrote hundreds of songs in his career.
His songs became anthems for the anti-war movement and still beautifully reflect the pain and the possibilities of
those turbulent times – and ours. Phil Ochs: There But For Fortune is buoyed by these anthems and
melodies –
from humorous to haunting – and throughout the film play the role of narrator, giving contextual depth to the
unfolding saga of Ochs’ complex political and personal life.

In the film, Joan Baez, Tom Hayden, Pete Seeger, Sean Penn, Peter Yarrow, Christopher Hitchens, Ed
Sanders
, and others who knew or were inspired by Ochs tell stories of political passions that were equal parts
idealism, conviction and fantasy mixed together with a big ego and often wild disorganization.
