Return of Punk
Posted by: Jon ˑ July 29, 2010 – 7:16 pmBy Jon
Lately the Korean punk scene has been all but dead. To rectify this, some of the punk bands are joining together in something called The Purge Movement. They plan to get things going again by exposing people on the street to live music.
This weekend will be their first show, a free show in Hongdae Playground. It will start as soon as the market shuts down around 6pm. Featured are:
RUX (streetpunk)
The Cripples
Swindlers (punk rock)
철남138호 / Chulnam138
First Round Heroes (streetpunk)
Return Boi!s (pogo punk)
…Whatever That Means (melodic punk)
Skasucks (ska/punk)
If you want to watch some good bands play outside this weekend, but don’t want to travel forever and pay way too much to see a bunch of bands from a distance, then Hongdae Playground might be the place for you.
