Destruction Unit / Merchandise at Cheer Up Charlies, 6/1/2013

The third day of Chaos in Tejas (6/1) featured a killer late afternoon show at Cheer Up Charlies featuring bands from across the globe that dabbled in the outer reaches of punk. Featuring a headlining set from The Men, the outdoor show had fans sweating it out to the likes of Merchandise, Total Control, Destruction Unit, and Lower (their first US show). Pictures from Cheer Up Charlies are in this post.

BV Austin has lots more Chaos in Tejas coverage, and you can also catch up with some of the punk/metal happenings at InvisibleOranges. More pictures from Cheer Up Charlies on Saturday are below.
