Dead Boys (Cheetah & Johnny) add dates, playing 3 NYC shows (one on Halloween)
Cleveland punk legends Dead Boys have been celebrating the 40th anniversary of their classic 1977 debut album Young Loud and Snotty this year. They released a photobook and a re-recorded version of the album (with surviving members Cheetah Chrome and Johnny Blitz), and Cheetah and Johnny have been taking the band’s music out on a tour, to which more dates have been added.
Having already played NYC at Bowery Electric last month, Cheetah and Johnny bring the tour back here on Halloween (10/31) at Lucky 13 Saloon in Brooklyn (tickets). The Halloween show also includes Chesty Malone and the Slice ’em Ups, Jones Crusher, The Blame, and Cut Up Naked Teenagers. That’s followed by a Long Branch, NJ show the very next night.
In 2018, Cheetah and Johnny will return to Bowery Electric on January 28 & 29. Tickets for 1/29 are on sale now, though there’s currently no ticket link for 1/28. After those shows, they’ll head to the UK. All dates are listed below.
Original Dead Boys frontman Stiv Bators passed away in 1990. Watch the classic video of Dead Boys playing “Sonic Reducer” at CBGB in ’77, below. You can hear the newly-recorded version of Young and Snotty on Spotify.
