As mentioned, Fucked Up are playing the Riot Fests and then opening some shows on the Descendents tour, including the sold-out NYC date on October 8 at Playstation Theater. The day before that show, FU will play their first-ever Long Island show at Amityville Music Hall (10/7) with local greats Iron Chic opening. Tickets for this very cool double bill are on sale now.
Iron Chic also have a Brooklyn show at the new BK Bazaar in November, and related band Adult Magic play here tonight (8/19).
In related news, Fucked Up frontman Damian Abraham recently started a podcast with Stereogum’s Tom Breihan about wrestling called Clobberin’ Time. They plan to have guests from the music world, and their first is Matador Records co-founder Gerard Cosloy. Listen to that episode and Damien and Tom’s introductory episode:
