The Return of the Vivisectors to Worcester! April 26 2013!

https://www.facebook.com/events/478188912238058/

Visiting from Russia, The Vivisectors bring Gulag Tunes from their homeland to Worcester. This is the fourth time The Vivisectors have brought their amazing gulag surf sounds to this country and the third time playing at Beatnik’s. Combining sunny surf music and chthonic Russian prison songs while exploring the dark side of rock’n’roll.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Vivisectors/124623237526

Opening will be NH’s Caught Flies. Four dudes from three New England states inspired to make loud, catchy, timeless rock and roll songs you can sing and dance to, drink to, fight to, drive very fast to (though don’t blame us for the trouble you get into). They don’t dress up pretty, don’t wear matching uniforms, don’t look the part at all and don’t plan to.

Snowed out last time at Beatnik’s The Numbskulls are a four piece neo-traditionalist punk rock band from Worcester, Ma. They have slept at your house, taken you naked swimming, gotten you drunk, toured the country, made your ears bleed, got you to start your first band, given you tons of free shows, played in your basement, put out 5 of your favorite records, and voted by you Best Punk Rock Band every year since they started this crazy trip.

Something for everyone. PUNK, PSYCHOBILLY, & BLACK METAL SURF! Three bands only $6!

Mighty Surf Lords: www.myspace.com/themightysurflords – The guitar and bass player from the Mighty Surf Lords founded the Loving Hearts Club in Reno, NV and routinely organize meals for the homeless. The band and I felt it would be a tremendously good idea to do this on the East Coast and we expect both shows, one in New Haven and the second in Worcester, to be quite successful. Here is a recent article about the band and The Loving Hearts Club:

Blue Suede News says ” Here’s my favorite new CD for this issue! There have been several others I liked a lot, but having seen both Jeff and his wife Betsy-Dawn Williams at the Rockabilly Ball last year primed me for this. Potter’s an all-around musician, playing piano, drums, organ and some lead guitar on his new CD, as well as writing and singing all 15 songs. “
