Eight Gigs: Crude Studs
Sun., Dec. 27, Starlite Lounge, 7 p.m., $5
Quick and dirty punk rock at its finest. Crude Studs vocalist Sophia Flores, along with Nich Lujan (bass), Bobby Khan (guitar) and JB Thomas (drums), released their self-titled 7-inch last year and even hit the road on a small West Coast tour. The group takes note from bands like Zero Boys, Rudimentary Peni, Thin Lizzy and even a little Queen. A live performance from Crude Studs packs hit-and-run tracks backed by grit, angst and enough energy to envelop an entire room with songs like, “Ground Chuck Night” and “Padded Walls.” Squidz and Blhans! round out the bill. 1517 21st Street, www.facebook.com/crudestuds.
