Spiked hair and safety pins will be out in full force tonight at Mohawk Place, as West Coast hardcore supergroup OFF! is set to take stage. OFF! is the brain child of former Black Flag / Circle Jerks singer, Keith Morris, and Burning Brides front man Dimitri Coats. The two, along with Steven McDonald (Red Kross), and drummer Mario Rubalcaba (Hot Snakes/Rocket From the Crypt), have begun to push hardcore forward, while remaining true to its roots. Their debut show at SXSW 2010 incorporated an art installment, and they have utilized artists and graffiti in both videos, and in their live sets. Their music is an aggressively abrupt style of hardcore, with incredibly political lyrics intended to “…push life’s most provocative issues to the forefront.” (http://offofficial.com/bio.html ). While all songs last approximately a minute in length (give or take), they have produced several dozen in the year or so they have been together, so expect to hear all or most of them to fill up a set. Sacramento based thrash band Trash Talk will be opening to ensure no one leaves the venue unscathed. Tickets are $15 presale, and doors are at 7pm.
