Dead Boys 40th Anniversary Tour w/Cheetah Chrome & Johnny Blitz, and The DUIs

Like many bands from the earliest days of punk, Cleveland’s The Dead Boys didn’t record all that much: just the classic, utterly vital 1977 debut Young, Loud and Snotty and its less essential, but still frequently great 1978 follow-up, We Have Come for Your Children. In the decades since, labels released various rarities, demos and live albums as the band reunited for infrequent live shows, but the band never got around to releasing a third full-length until just this fall, when Plowboy Records issued Still Snotty: Young, Loud and Snotty at 40, a song-for-song rerecording of the band’s debut. New singer Jake Hout takes over for the band’s original singer Stiv Bators, who died in 1990.
