Hardcore band Fang is in Tampa for a concert for the first time since, well, we really can’t remember. The Berkeley band is still rocking with frontman Sam “Sammytown” McBride—who joined the band in ‘82, two years after the original lineup formed. McBride’s past rivals Vince Neil’s—including a jail stint for murdering a girlfriend—but he’s now clean, sober and making amends.
Joining the bare bones classic punk rock band—which Kurt Cobain listed as one of his favorites—is The Horribles, straight outta Pasco County. West Palm’s 1983 and Nothing But Enemies from Boston round out the support.
We’re assuming the $10 cover will be taken at the door because there’s no place to get tickets online—keeping it real old school.
Fang w/The Horribles/1983/Nothing But Enemies. Thursday, Sept. 2, 7 p.m. $10. Brass Mug, Tampa. INFO
