War Stories is a raucous evening of off-the cuff storytelling by some of the wildest, loudest and most influential punk rock, new wave and rock’n’roll icons.


The line up is specially curated and presented by Pleasant Gehman and Theresa Kereakes -- the duo behind the LA punk rock 70's fanzine Lobotomy:

"Many of us have known each other for decades: we’ve hung out, played music and gotten drunk together; a few of us were longtime roommates. We’ve played shows with each other and have been on the road together (back in the day as well as more recently) bringing our 'OG' punk essence to other cities, states and countries.  We’ve all set the bar for contemporary music, raised all kinds of hell, broken laws constantly and gleefully…. and we’ve lived to tell, in fact, many of us have also actually written books chronicling the wild times. This show is about our insane stories…and YOU GET TO HEAR ALL ABOUT IT!"

Conributed and moderated by Michelle Villegas Threadgould, Journalist /KQED, CNN, New York Observer & author of the forthcoming book "Why Rage Against the Machine Matters"
