I have been waiting for this announcement for some time!!! (although, it doesn't affect me in Melbourne it's still exciting) Redd Kross will perform their classics Born Innocent and the Posh Boy ep as a side show to the inaugural Dig It Up! series of events this month.
Released in 1980 and featuring teenage brothers Steve (12) and Jeff (16) McDonald alongside future Black Flag singer Ron Reyes (on drums) and future Circle Jerks and Bad Religion guitarist Greg Hetson. The Redd Cross or Posh Boy ep as it has become known, is higher in snotty-punk levels than their future credentials might suggest and is indebted to the sounds of late seventies New York and L.A with their own teenage kicks thrown in for good measure.
Born Innocent stretched the formula a little and upped the obnoxious quota with a cover of Charles Manson's Cease to Exist and their own Kill Someone You Hate alongside Linda Blair and Look On Up at the Bottom ( Beyond the Valley of the Dolls) cementing their identity at the peak of rock n roll mountain.
