Margarita Madness At The Purple People Bridge : May 17th

Music: The Queers

It’s both amazing and ironic that, at some point this year, The Queers celebrated their 33-1/3 anniversary. It was 1982, two years into Ronald Reagan’s first term, when New Hampshire native Joe King felt Punk’s inexorable pull.

Joe King of The Queers

It’s both amazing and ironic that, at some point this year, The Queers celebrated their 33-1/3 anniversary. It was 1982, two years into Ronald Reagan’s first term, when New Hampshire native Joe King felt Punk’s inexorable pull. King added a snarky sense of humor and a love of The Ramones and Beach Boys and began recording and releasing a series of singles under the somewhat contentious marquee he would proudly exhibit for the next third of a century. Read more about King and the band in this week's Sound Advice.

The Queers with The Dopamines perform Saturday at Northside Yacht Club. More info: northsideyachtclub.com .
