Show Preview: 8th Annual Dre Day Featuring : Bad Cop/Bad Cop – Pu$$y Cow -Turkish Techno – and Hands Like Bricks at The Dragonfly – Los Angeles, CA – February 7, 2014

It's getting close to that time of year where Los Angeles Punks and gangster rap fans alike, gather to celebrate and pay homage to Los Angeles' prolific producer known as Dr. Dre.  

Friday February 7th will mark the 8th consecutive year that lead singer Joe Dana from local Punk band Pu$$y Cow will be throwing a birthday party for Dr. Dre. Each year he has gathered an amazing line up of Punk bands to play a set that includes at least two cover songs of something either sang, written or produced by Dre. Years past have included performances by Toys That Kill, Stab City, The Maxies, The Neighborhood Brats, and of Course Pu$$y Cow, as well as many other amazing bands. This years line up is no exception!

Headlining is the all female Punk band Bad Cop/ Bad Cop. They consist of members of Cunt Sparrer, Angry Amputees, Compton SF, The D'Maggs, The CIty, and The Radio Sweetheart. You may have seen them at Awesome Fest in San Diego last year. This band signed to Fat Wreck Chords and have been growing in popularity, for good reason. Their songs are infectious and packed with power. All four of these chicks bring it and bring it hard.

As always Pu$$y Cow will be setting the roof on fire with an ace stage performance, This year has been promised to have the most Dre covers that they have ever done in one Dre Day set.  

Turkish Techno and Hands Like Bricks will also be taking the stage at Dre Day to deliver the goods with seriously fun pop Punk performances as well.

Aside from the bad ass show there are other festivities that have become tradition such as the Eddie 40's hand competition (SEE THE VIDEO below) and a rap off at the end of the evening winners receive some gangsta ass prizes.

Here is some video from last years event -This is a MUST GO TO event

Last years event was at capacity by 7:45 in the evening. A lot people weren't able to get in, so don't make the mistake that many made last year of straggling to get there. Early arrival is suggested!
