Show Preview: The Mob – Sickoids – Rank Xerox – Crimson Scarlet – and The New Flesh – at The Oakland Metro Opera House – Oakland, CA – October 21, 2012

One of the UK's oldest and most innovative Anarcho Punk bands is back to tour the West Coast for the first time. Following the Peligro Social show, The Mob will hit the Oakland Metro Operahouse with a killer line up consisting of Sickoids(ex Government Warning, Witch Hunt), Rank/Xerox, Crimson Scarlet, and The New Flesh. 

Out of the streets of England, The Mob rose in 1978 to deliver the grim sound of brutal truth to the world. They would play slower than most punk bands that were around, but nonetheless showed their disappointment with common life. They called it quits in 83 and are returning with an all original line up. Sickoids will be playing right before them. . Mixing raw hardcore with dark melodies, they will definitely be sure to wreck the place.

Having the opportunity to see both Peligro Social and The Mob back to back in the same weekend is proof the the DIY scene in the Bay Area is thriving. Come watch doves fly on October 21st.
