Give in to Authority
“There’s a movement, an underground affair./ Underneath the surface, a network aware./ Making a big sound through the sound system blare.” Who's rockin' this "Movement?" Authority Zero, of course! Lace those boots, spike that hair and get yourself to Launchpad (618 Central SW) on Sunday, Aug. 23, to get rowdy with the best. All the way from Mesa, Ariz. on their Summer Sickness Tour, this quartet of rude boys boasts a punk rock sound with ska and reggae influences as well as a little Spanish/Portuguese flavor. Though the band has been playing for more than 20 years, they're not slowing down, proclaiming of their most recent album, The Tipping Point, “It’s an album based on the idea of tipping the scales, unity, causing a ruckus while forging on...We’re fired up.” Purchase your ticket for 10 clams and get ready to slam-dance with Counterpunch and Rubedo starting the ruckus at 7:30pm.
