Zyanose – Frenzy – Battleshok – Stark Moon – Deep Ends – at Munoz Gym – Bakersfield, CA

Once again Munoz Gym proved it was the sickest DIY venue in California. Hardcore Hell Presents put on yet another great underground Punk show in the slums of Bakersfield, this time featuring Zyanose (from Japan), Frenzy, Battleshok, Stark Moon and Deep Ends.
 

Natalie, Bakersfield local and singer for Deep Ends reminisced about her first years of going to Punk shows and the Gym "I started going to shows in 97 but I didn't know anything about Punk except I was into it, but I was so young I had no access to finding out more other than other hoodlums. Well this show was the first I went to that actually felt "right". Wolfpack, Axiom, Armistice at Munoz Gym, summer 2000."

Monuz Gym was packed May Day with a line out the door. The bands and promoters involved, drew a crowd from all over California. Words are great, but I think these photos express what went down that night better than a thousand of them. Enjoy!

Natalie also had this to say, "Bakersfield's all time best Punk venue, Munoz Gym, put us on the map and keeps us there. Keep packing the Gym! No other venue has you get in the ring with the band!"

Munoz Gym puts on a ton of Punk shows every year, it would be definitely worth your time to check this place out. Bakersfield Punks know how to party like non other!
