45 years ago, their self-titled album got so popular they went platinum, no thanks to mainstream chart success or radio play. In the 80’s, everyone had a copy of the album on cassette, and their folk punk sound influenced numerous bands across genres like grunge, pop punk and indie rock. Artists from Pink to Keith Urban have cited them as an influence. Now is your chance to be influenced! Go hear them in person in a city that celebrates unconventional popularity itself!
