SUMMARY:PInATA PROTEST at the Shakedown Bar
DESCRIPTION:Price: $5\nAge Limit: 21+\n\nDetails: PINATA PROTEST\nthe SCREAMIN YEEHAWS\nJONNY CASTLE\n$5\nDOORS: 8 PM / SHOW: 9 PM\nTijuana comes to the Shakedown! Well, not entirely true. Pinata Protest is from Tejas. Pinatas, hot dog carts, carne asada & accordion powered Punk y Roll! Donkey Show? What do you get when you meld “fast/loud rules” with the Tex-Mex accordion? Piñata Protest and their invigorating and pointed “punk rock-y-roll.” The band “forcefully take the raw essence of conjunto into warp-speed tempos and punky aggression,” raves the San Antonio Current, which rates them as “one of the most original forces on the local music scene.” And now with their national debut album on Saustex Records, Plethora, Piñata Protest take their infectious and bracing South Texas slamdance to the rest of America and the planet at large. The band bristles with the zest and sheer fun to be enjoyed in a sound that has been dubbed “amphetamine norteño,” “ranchero punk” and “puro pedo [no bullshit] punk rock” while also targeting the adversities and emptiness of modern life with dead-eyed aim. As the San Antonio Current observes, “Piñata Protest’s Álvaro Del Norte is doing for the accordion what the Dropkick Murphys do for the bagpipes, playing what’s often considered an embarrassing grandpa-music relic with youthful angst and energy, expanding the punk-rock template beyond London and NYC. What's that loud, rude noise you hear comin' outta them speakers of that dirty rock club you've been afraid to go in all yer piddly little life? It ain't your Momma's eight track collection and it ain't your Daddy's doo-wop. It's THE SCREAMIN YEEHAWS dammit. SoCal revved up and ugly SouthernFriedPunkRawk at its finest. Out of the ashes of the MILLI VANILLIS comes San Diego's JONNY CASTLE with a hankering for Screeching Weasel, costumes, booze, fun & general tom foolery they never disappoint.
