Brady Black’s Friday the 13th F*ck Cancer Fest**
Friday the 13th lands at Kick Butt Coffee with a stacked, two-stage takeover dedicated to one cause: kicking cancer where it hurts. This is a full-evening, community-driven benefit show bringing together some of Austin’s most active punk, pop-punk, ska-punk, and DIY bands—all donating their time and energy to support the fight.
Expect fast songs, loud amps, sweaty rooms, and a whole lot of heart. Ten bands. Two stages. One cause.
Featuring:
Capitalist Kids – Long-running Austin pop-punk staples delivering catchy, Lookout!-era hooks paired with sharp, socially conscious and political lyrics.
Generation Exit – Austin street-punk supergroup featuring members of Born to Lose, Riddlin’ Kids, and Sniper 66, riding high off their 2024 debut album Lifer.
Live Another Day – A DIY Austin pop-punk trio blending ska energy and classic punk roots, with a mission rooted in raising awareness for rare genetic diseases.
Half As Bad – No-frills, high-energy Austin punk trio fronted by James Daily, known for their raw DIY approach and frequent appearances at local festivals like Picklestock.
Falling Knives – Fast, aggressive Austin punk currently recording their debut concept LP The Story of Billy Blade, slated for release in 2026.
Last To Know – A three-piece Austin punk band formed in 2025, already a fixture on the local circuit and fresh off major community bills.
The Actuators – An Austin outfit with new releases in 2024 and 2025, earning regular spins on local radio including KOOP.
The Royal Space Chimps – Austin ska-punk chaos with infectious energy, often sharing stages with fellow scene favorites like Last To Know.
Dave & The Bottlenecks – Also known as Dave Armstrong & The Bottlenecks, delivering straight-ahead Austin punk rock and rock ’n’ roll grit.
