To celebrate that anniversary, Sam and Ze Gonzales are reteaming for a few gigs this month: New York’s Le Poisson Rouge on 1/16, Los Angeles’ Space15Twenty on January 21 and an in-store at LA’s Amoeba on January 23. The Le Poisson Rouge date also features a solo DJ set from Sam. All of the N.A.S.A shows are free with RSVP.

LIFE OF AGONY / DOYLE

Life of Agony were busy last year with their new album The Sound of Scars and plenty of touring, and Doyle was busy last year with more Misfits reunion shows (which continue this year) and even more solo touring (sometimes with Life of Agony). And now, LOA and Doyle will team up again for the ‘Beast Coast Monsters Tour’ this March and April.
