D.R.I.
Houston’s Dirty Rotten Imbeciles are Texas punk royalty, if it’s not too un-punk to be considered a sovereign. Fit for carving in the neighbors drained pool or hyping yourself up before your friend’s sister does her and your first stick ‘n’ poke of the skanking man logo on your ankle, D.R.I. unite the speed and brutality of thrash metal with the attitude and snot-crusted anti-authoritarianism of punk. $13, 7pm, Jack’s Patio Bar, 3030 Thousand Oaks Drive, (210) 494-2309
