Legendary punk bands The Avengers and The Zeros 77 come together for a night with RØBBER!The Avengers and The Zeros 77 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 )
