Back in Australia for the first time since 2012, punk rock pioneers, DESCENDENTS return in February 2017 in support of their new album, Hypercaffium Spazzinate.
To say that the DESCENDENTS invented pop punk is a gross understatement. They perfected the warp-speed amalgam of adolescent angst, snotty attitude and championship melody infesting the airways today. “You can draw a straight line from their records to modern punk acts” proclaim Nerdist. They took a genre that was about spikes, chaos and anarchy, and brought it to earth, singing about girls, growing up and food.?
Formed in 1978 against the fertile musical backdrop of Los Angeles’ South Bay scene (Black Flag, Minutemen etc), the caffeine-addled crew were less interested in social movements than bowel movements, with Rolling Stone declaring, “DESCENDENTS are the most playful group to emerge from the SoCal hardcore scene”.?
Fast forward to 2016, and lo and behold, the DESCENDENTS are back in the saddle with the release of their first full length in 12 years, Hypercaffium Spazzinate – a nod to Descendents' well-documented coffee obsession. Sure, the guys are now writing as adults – in the loosest sense of the term, but there’s a renewed sense of punk rock energy here. It’s faster, more reckless, and more intense.?
No one’s accusing the DESCENDENTS of maturity. For the better part of the band’s four-decade career, they’ve been the gold standard for puerility in pop-punk. But what do you expect from a band that pledged “Thou shalt not commit adulthood”?
Punk, pop, buzzing, summery, heartfelt, defiant, adolescent and wise all at once – The DESCENDENTS sound never gets old. Don’t miss your chance to witness live performances of classic tracks, “I’m the One”, “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up”, “Everything Sucks” and “Silly Girl”.?

The bands were excellent! Lots of energy, played all the great songs. Will recommend seeing if given the chance. Will not be disappointed!
Venue is in the middle of an open construction area and is closed off. Unless you got there early, you had to walk a minimum of two blocks just to get to the building. Once inside it was ridiculously hot, and my 15.00 tall boy was slightly below room temperature. The sound was pretty good though. The Descendents and the Buzzcocks were both awesome, but this venue either needs to either find a new location, or shutter until the construction is finished.
I've never seen a show at the union.Good sound, great band. I took trax. and found how simple it was . Excited to come back this Saturday for Drop Kick Murphys
It was a great show! So glad I finally got to see them
It was a really good venue, people were nice and the music was top notch
Descendents were great as always. This was my first time seeing Buzzcocks and I really hope it isn't the last!
Packed house with tons of energy from opening to close. The Descendents are always great. I will never miss a local Descendents show if I can help it.
Great show. They played all my favorites and really rocked the goddamn house. Still getting it all these years later the Descendents rock. Great place to see a show too, I'll never have a bad show at the Pageant.
The Descendents have been one of my favorite bands since I was 14 years old. They did not disappoint for my friend and I, another decade+ fan of the band. They brought energy and an absolutely solid performance from every member of the band. At 40 dollars this show was an absolute steal, I would absolutely do it again
Hell of a show! Descendents Circle Jerks and Surfbort. After all these years still put on a great show in Louisville!
