If you’re looking for a gnarly way to welcome in the spring season, how about an unforgettable night of high-energy skate punk? Dust off your battle vest, lace up your Doc Martins, and head over to The Observatory in Santa Ana on April 11th for a show that’s bound to satisfy all your primal rock and roll desires.
Headlining the show is the always irrepressible Agent Orange.
The legendary power trio fronted by Mike Palm has been at the forefront of the skate punk movement for over 40 years, blending rapid punk riffs with surf-inspired melodies.
Their influence on the genre is irrefutable, and their live shows are still as wild as ever.
This hometown show promises to be a night of high-energy anthems, moshing, and crowd surfing.

Joining Agent Orange is the SoCal punk mainstay Pulley. Fresh off an appearance at the Lucky Punks Festival, they’ll be dishing out their signature mix of melodic hooks and hard-hitting punk grit.
Fronted by Scott Radinsky, the punk veteran and former Major League pitcher, Pulley’s anthemic sound is built for a crowd that’s ready to get the pit moving.

One band I’m especially stoked to see again is Chaser. Hailing from Orange County, they’ve been busy making new fans with their latest album, “Small Victories.”
Their fast, hook-laden sound is bound to keep the energy at full blast.

Be sure to get there early because two bands – Fourth in Line and SPLNTR – were recently added and will be kicking things off, setting the tone for a night of pure punk. From the first note to the last encore, expect non-stop circle pits and stage divers.
Whether you’re a scene veteran or a newbie, this is definitely one show that you don’t want to miss. With a lineup like this, tickets won’t last very long, so grab yours now before they are all gone.
