For now...
A night celebrating punk history, DIY spirit, and the music that keeps it alive.
In the summer of 1988, Fugazi played a sweaty, chaotic, sparsely attended show in a rundown Philadelphia gym. The sound was terrible. The power went out. And yet, somehow, it became legendary.
Upside Down Punks: The Strange but True Story of That Fugazi Basketball Hoop Show (Microcosm Publishing) is an oral history of that gig—told by those who were there, compiled by J. Hunter Bennett, with a foreword by Mickey Lynch, the teenager who made it happen.
To celebrate the zine’s release, we’re throwing a proper DIY show in its honor featuring:
