Descendents plays House of Blues in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on October 20, 2017.
Descendents took an interesting approach on its latest album 9th & Walnut. The sessions—featuring early members Tony Lombardo and the late Frank Navetta—happened in 2002, but were shelved until frontman Milo Aukerman decided to record some proper vocals during COVID-19 lockdowns.
The California punk band’s current lineup is only playing one track from presumably the final Descendants album with the since-departed members (Lombardo still occasionally joins the band, and Navetta died in 2008), but with a setlist of over 30 tracks, the band’s return to Tampa Bay will be nothing but good, good things all-around.
Tickets to see Descendents, Circle Jerks and The Adolescents play St. Petersburg’s Jannus Live on Friday, March 29 are sold-out. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
