Monday Oct. 24: Bad Religion with Against Me! and Dave Hause at McDonald Theatre (1010 Willamette St.), 7 p.m., $25 advance, $30 at door
Those looking to introduce a little anarchy should head to the MacDonald Theatre this Monday to see Bad Religion, one of the most prolific and influential bands of the 1990s.
Known for fast-paced, upbeat riffs and three-part harmonies, Bad Religion arose from the late 1970s punk scene to tackle various social ills through music. Heavily influenced by classic acts such as The Sex Pistols, Ramones and The Clash, their sound is ferocious, with lyrics that, despite underlying positivity, focus on serious topics like religion and civil rights. Every headbanging chord comes with some insight and introspection.
By the end of the night, Bad Religion will have you screaming to bring the house down, and with the band’s long history, they’re sure to attract a crowd. Dave Hause and Against Me! will open the show. Tickets are on sale now. –Dana Alston
