Dingbat Dungeon ($5) — Friday, March 27th, 7 p.m.
When local punk group Chain’s Gang broke up last year and then posthumously released a 7” flexi EP that absolutely rips, it was pretty hard to come to terms with the fact that we’d never again hear them rip live. Luckily Chain got parole, and the band is back for a one-off show at the Dungeon on Friday. May Chain’s Gang rip at this show, and R.I.P.
