A night of punk and garage rock featuring The BOMB Pulse, Social Dissonance, and Neon Lemon at the historic Hole in the Wall venue.
The BOMB Pulse headline Hole in the Wall on Saturday, August 8, with Social Dissonance and Neon Lemon opening. The BOMB Pulse are coming in from New Orleans, so this is a visiting act rather than a local one. They're the main feature of the night, and they'll be sharing the bill with two other bands, making it a three-act lineup.
If you've never spent much time there, Hole in the Wall is a campus-area dive that's been around since 1974. It started as a folkie hangout and a favorite stage for Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith, and Blaze Foley, before it became a breeding ground for punk, cosmic country, and alternative. It's the kind of place that launched the careers of Timbuk3, Fastball, Spoon, and Shakey Graves. It's a historic two-stage dive with a collective capacity of a couple hundred, and it still stages live music every night, so it remains a proving ground for new bands. It's always been a shoestring effort—it briefly shuttered in 2002 and came dangerously close to being priced out in 2015—but it's still standing.
