If you have any inkling of the history of Detroit punk/hardcore music you owe it to yourself to be at one of these shows.
quote:Allmusic.com In the early '80s, Brannon's uncompromising, pointedly aggressive Detroit hardcore outfit Negative Approach, along with Boston acts like SSD and DYS and D.C. groups like Minor Threat, Bad Brains, and S.O.A., established the paradigm for American hardcore music. Negative Approach was just that: the sonic equivalent of a chair through a window, with Brannon venting and ranting frustratedly and indeed, negatively. The band was also as original and extreme as any early-'80s punk outfit — the rhythmic crush created by Moore and the McCulloch brothers continues to be an undeniable steel-toe to the face.
quote:Touch and Go Records. Negative Approach has recently announced three shows coming up this Spring. The line-up includes original members John Brannon and OP Moore, as well as Easy Action members Harold Richardson and Ron Sakowski. Hop on a plane, a train, or hitch a skateboard to someone's bumper and catch one of these shows. 05/12/07 - Hof Ter Lo - Antwerp, Belgium 05/26/07 - St. Andrews Hall - Detroit, MI 06/28/07 - Ex-Plex, - Los Angeles, CA |

Awesome! Definitely never thought I would get to see this band (especially after missing Touch and Go fest). I'm all over it. |

hmmm, my younger self wants to go, but if I go perhaps my older self will get annoyed and ask them if the music really needs to be so loud! Besides, Iggy and the Stooges are on tour! |

Just caught East Action this past Friday at Small's - great show. John Brannon has never lost his impressively loud imposing touch. Good stuff. |

Really, sport I think you'd like them -- some of their lyrics are reminiscent of some of your posts: Of the "you old married people are boring" SS posting vein:
quote:You made your choice Now there's no turning back Wasting your time But you just won't face the facts Why fool yourself That you're having fun When you had your second thoughts Why didn't you fucking run Tied Down You're on a fucking leash Tied Down You'll never be released Tied Down You wanted it that way Tied Down Now there's nothing you can say And from the Urban vigilante school of posting:
quote:You've stepped too far outta line You've ripped us off for the last time Now you've gone and had your fun We're gonna kill you for what you've done Said and Done, Said and Done Now beware of what you do Cause we're always watching you If you ever lose our trust You'd better fucking look out for us And of course for the elitist Jelk and your "parasite" buddies:
quote:One moment you agree With everything I say Seemingly honest You're never in the way How could I have thought When I'm not around The shit you say about me Stories well thought out It's when I turn my back You're ready to attack A verbal abuse Is what you choose to use You must hold a grudge Against the things I do Why don't you admit it Stand up and face the truth |
