• Last Night: Bad Brains, Death By Stereo and Kevin Seconds at House of Blues

  Better Than: Pretty much any other concert you could have gone to last night.In the canon of legendary punk bands, it is pretty much impossible to fuck with the furious, dred-wielding four piece that is Bad Brains. And for hoards of die-hard O.C. punks young and old, a chance to see them in action for the first time in god knows how long was an early Christmas gift. At the very least, it was a gift big enough to make fans forget that we were at Disneyland for 2 solid hours.Monday night's Bad Br

• TOMORROW: The Adicts at House of Blues

  As much as some people might hate me for saying this, I've always thought of The Adicts as the U2 of the punk world. One, they have always had an established look about them (though I doubt Bono would ever have the balls to rock the joker make-up like Keith "Monkey" Warren). Two, they're live performance is about as big and grandiose as a punk show can get. And three, they simply refuse to go away. Boasting the longest running original line-up in the punk world, you'd be hard pressed to fin

• Leaving Babylon

  I'm bailing for Vegas today and that got me thinking about the idea of leaving. Then I remembered a strange cover version of the Bad Brains song "Leaving Babylon" a week ago. I was in the gardening department at Big Lots (does Big Lots have "departments?") when I heard an acoustic guitar strumming some chords. No big whoop. Then a white guy started singing, "I'm leaving this babylon/leaving this babylon/will not be too long/will not be too long." Instantly my ears perked as I knew that was a Bad

  ​Bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh are hitting the stage as Sublime, just like they did in February. But unlike the previous gig, held at some tiny Mexican restaurant in a Nevada town no one's ever heard of, this show is actually pretty big.It's part of Cypress Hill's Smokeout, a gathering of bands, booths and most importantly, weed. The Sublime reunion might get the most attention, but the lineup is actually pretty good. Scheduled to hit the stage on Oct. 23 and 24 is Slipknot (ok, no
