PENNYWISE

In the ever turbulent world of punk rock music, New York City claims the Ramones and Los Angeles proudly boasts Pennywise, the most significant hardcore band to emerge from SoCal punk’s second wave. This January 29, they will perform in Luxembourg, right here at the Club of the Rockhal.

A thriving, ground-breaking punk rock band for over 20 years, the Hermosa Beach group has seen members come and go but it’s relentless, in-your-face, middle finger in the air, anthem-chanting sound has never wavered one iota.  

The genesis of Pennywise can be traced back to the South Bay 1988 when punk couldn’t be less popular and metal ruled the roost. The four original members of Pennywise immediately crafted a style all its own—a tidal wave of California hardcore, melodic surf punk and optimistic anthems that went against the seek-and-destroy ethos of its era.

Dragge noted. “We love this, we love going on the road. There's nothing more important to me than being on stage in front of our fans and having them sing our lyrics back at us and feel the energy. This has become so much bigger than just us as a band. It's become a family and a brotherhood of people that I feel depend on us. Don't waste time because if you're wasting time on something you're not into, then you're not living. We're going to go out there and have fun doing what we love until it stops being fun.” 

A punk rock Hall of Fame band if there ever was one, the story of Pennywise is hardly done. With a brash new chapter of the band’s story unfolding before our very eyes, a new record is in the works, as are a U.S. and overseas tours. Pennywise doesn’t play by the rules, it plows straight ahead and makes its own.

This Saturday night is a must for every Punkrock fan. This American band will rock the stage and give you a great show, worth every penny you’ll invest.
