The Avengers and The Zeros 77 with RØBBER

The Avengers and The Zeros 77 with RØBBER at The Wayfarer on November 30 in Costa Mesa, CA!

In 1977, The Avengers established themselves as one of the US's preeminent punk

bands. Fusing incisive guitar hooks, explosive rhythms, and adolescent venom, the group

forged some of the most in-your-face songs of the era. Classics like "We Are the One"

and “The American in Me” earned them a spot opening for the Sex Pistols at their final

performance at Winterland, as well as a dedicated following that has only swelled during

the subsequent years. The number of musicians that count themselves indebted to the

sneering indictments of vocalist Penelope Houston and the eviscerating chords of

guitarist Greg Ingraham cannot be overstated. The current line up includes rock-solid

bassist Joel Reader (MTX) and the exhilarating drumming of Luis Illades (Pansy Division).

While much has been written about The Avengers in the past four decades, rock critic

Greil Marcus puts it succinctly, "The word I always come back to is mystical, and that

remains almost theirs alone."

" The Avengers were one of the best punk bands. I’m proud that they’re from the Bay Area" (Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day)
