I guarantee you some folks are going to be stoked about this one: Starting the summer off right are rock-solid punks Dillinger Four, party-punks Japanther and local fomenters the Humanoids at Off Broadway on Tuesday, June 9. Tickets are $12 and, thankfully, it's all-ages. Hopefully a legit venue means that Japanther will make it to town this time.

"In most cities in the Midwest," Dillinger Four's Paddy Costello said between songs Tuesday night, "the people we knew in '99, or especially '96, or even 2002, are all bike messengers in Berkeley now, delivering cocaine. Or they got some gig as a DJ in London and they don't want anything to do with you. But in St. Louis, I can run into Phil from Motion Sickness (zine) and he's partying next to the Humanoids? Goddamn, St. Louis! Just keep on being you, girl."
