KNAC IS 40. LET’S PARTY AT THE WHISKY. #KNAC40 https://knac40.eventbrite.com/
Q&A with Armored Saint and tons more. Live performances from Once Bitten (Remembering Jack Russell: A Great White Legacy), Love/Hate, Little Caesar, KNAC’s Toxic Undershorts and the "Dirty Secret" Jam.
For four decades, one name has been the unapologetic standard for PURE ROCK. Now, we’re celebrating 40 years of noise, rebellion, and the heaviest music on the planet with a full-blown takeover of the club that started it all.
We’re dragging the original KNAC DJs out of retirement (or rehab, you pick) to get on the mic and host the whole fkn thing. They’ll be telling the stories they were never allowed to tell on the air.
Ring-Master, “Radio Cathouse” host & MTV big-shot:
RIKI RACHTMAN.
The original purveyors of Pure Rock return: THRASHER • DANGEROUS DARREN • LONG PAUL • GONZO GREG • STEW • PHILTHY PHIL • JACK TRASH • GREGG STEELE • … plus the bad-ass bosses: • GREGG STEELE • BRYAN SCHOCK … and more still loading in.
