Max's

Earlier this year, we mentioned that the legendary now-closed NYC punk venue Max’s Kansas City would be celebrating its 50th anniversary from June 4-7 at Bowery Electric, the current home of many ’70s-era NYC punks. Now the lineups have been announced.

Night 1 features an all-star Jayne County tribute, Jahn Xavier & the Bowerytones, The Sick F*cks, Ruby & the Rednecks, The Magic Tramps, Zecca and The Black Cats NYC, with MC Jimi Lalumia and DJ Mojo, and cameos by Miachael Alago and Yvonne Sewal.

Night 2 has The Waldos, Testors (the original lineup featuring Sonny Vincent), New York Junk, Luigi & the Wiseguys and Love Pirates, with Bill Popp & the Tapes playing in the Map Room. MC Jimi Lalumia’s role is reprised, this time with DJ Rob Select, and there will be cameos by Steve Dior and Tammy Faye Starlight reprising her acclaimed off-broadway performance as Nico.

Night 3 has Pure Hell, Sea Monster, Puma Perl & Friends and Joey Kelly All Stars, with Martin John Butler in the Map Room. MC Jimi Lalumia, DJ Mojo, and a cameo by Tammy Faye Starlight as Nico once again.

And finally, night 4 has Nelson Slater, Prima Donna, The Rattlers, 4 on the Floor, Deborah Front, Hipp Pipps, The Flashcubs, MC Jimi Lalumia, DJ Twig the Wonder Kid, and a cameo by Penny Arcade

All four nights will be hosted by Peter Crowley. Tickets for all four shows, and a four-night pass, are on sale now.
