While we are all gearing up for a week packed with Chanukah festivities you have to be an idiot (or someone steeped in college finals) to miss possibly the most insane and incredible Jewish rock music event of the year:
Allow me to introduce you to YIDCORE.
This Australian Jewish Punk band is in New York ready to blow you away with their absurd stage antics and incredible Jewish rock show.
They will be playing 2 shows in the NYC area:
First one is tonight Monday December 11th at Northsix in Brooklyn!
The second is for all you bangitout readers who love Hashem and punk music, but dig staying within the Manhattan borders: Tuesday December 12th at MoPitkins 34 Ave A at 10pm. The Bangitout YIDCORE SHOW!
Clock in and clock in hard…hopefully both shows will be jammed with yids who love to rock! Bangitout.com hosted Yidcore on their last time around the states, and if anyone remembers the show at OZ, it was incredible, chaotic and actually chumustastic!
Since their original bangitout show has toured with Goldfinger, Useless ID, Less than Jake and Real Big Fish and recorded with Ben Lee….they are ready to rock.
clock in and clock in hard…this will be insane way to start off the chanukah zman.
Jewschool – Ylove at Jewschool quotes from ThisBabylon.net interview with Leadsinger Bram Presser: “How do you reconcile the precepts of Judaism with the recklessness of punk rock?: Bram: I reckon there are a lot of parallels between the punk ethic and the Jewish ethic. [Many of our] songs are born of struggle and oppression in both. Plus I read somewhere in Exodus, in the often overlooked paragraph, how Moses pierced his nose in Egypt and then got kicked out of the Pharaoh's palace. The rest is history. “
