Voluntary Electrocution: Le Shok at Alex’s Bar

Le Shok has sent shock waves along the California coast since playing a secret show at Zebulon, performing at their official reunion at Burger Boogaloo and most recently, with a home town show at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach last Friday. The show was announced in conjunction with the “We Are Electrocution” group art show at 4th Street Vine, as well as a Burger Records repressing of their seminal album. With an all-star support line-up of local favorites such as Terminal A, The Tissues, and Assquatch, it’s no wonder many fans, myself included, were left scrambling on social media event threads trying to get our grubby hands on a ticket after the show sold out in a cool 4 hours. Promises of blow jobs and death threats for tickets littered the event page in the days leading up to the show, proving the loyalty and lengths people were willing to go to relive the punk nostalgia of nearly 2 decades past. For all of you that were fortunate enough to cop a ticket, enjoy relieving the joy and insanity of the night and if you are one of the sad fucks that didn’t make it in (like I almost was), here are some photos of

Burger Boogaloo and Total Trash Productions have achieved the unthinkable, they’ve outdone themselves yet again after having outdone themselves last year with Iggy Pop headlining their Boogaloo. As Northern (and really, all of) California’s premiere garage punk festival, this year’s Boogaloo features none other than Devo, breaking their hiatus, punk rock originators The Damned, The Mummies (the festival’s headliner 2 years ago), and the return of Long Beach electro-punk legends Le Shok. I foresee people flying into the country to attend this festival, so we here at Janky Smooth decided to give you the chance to lighten your financial load by giving away 2 free VIP tickets to the festival. Oh, and did I mention John Waters will reassume the position of Master of Ceremonies? This festival is worth attending just to hear him introduce every band and to see what themes the festival has made for its stages. Last year’s theme was Gone Shrimpin’, meaning toe sucking. What will this year’s theme be? Getting your red wings? related content: Burger Boogaloo 2017: The Ballad Of John And Iggy There’s no other festival quite like Boogaloo, as an Angelino what happens after the festival as you terrorize San Francisco with your
