Johnny Utah and the Bad Ideas

Johnny Utah and the Bad Ideas play Come and Take It Live on Wednesday, September 30, with the show starting at 7 PM. It's a punk rock bill with the band as the main feature.

They're a punk rock outfit from South Texas, fronted by Johnny Peralez Jr. alongside Dave Stanley and John Peralez Sr. They describe their sound as fast, anthemic punk with dirty '90s alternative edges. If you're into that particular intersection—the driving energy of punk mixed with the grit of the alternative era—that's exactly where they sit. It's a family affair on the front line, too, with Johnny Peralez Jr. and John Peralez Sr. sharing the stage.

The show is at Come and Take It Live, 2015 E Riverside Dr Bldg 4, Austin, TX 78741. It's a genre-neutral venue that hosts music, art, and film from around the world, and they book live events of all kinds. On this night, the focus is on the band, with Johnny Utah and the Bad Ideas taking the stage. The set starts at 7 PM.
