Agent Orange

[LimeWire Music Blog] Seminal California sk8 punk band Agent Orange played at Mercury Lounge in New York City last night. The current lineup is Mike Palm, Perry Gx and new drummer Dave Klein.  Laramie Dean (surf punk!) did some guest guitar on Miserlou.  Highlights included spending some time making a new band photo for these guys in the Mercury basement, my flash getting busted into a million pieces in the brutal mosh pit during “Too Young To Die” and the insane gang vocals during “Bloodstains.” The night was a total throwback to the firehouse/vfw hall DIY pop-punk days of my adolescence. Sigh.
