Northern Ireland punk legends Stiff Little Fingers, particularly their album Inflammable Material, undeniably influenced multiple generations of loud and fast musicians—it’s even the basis of a “Is this the new Green Day” meet-cute joke for the nerds in Gen X hit High Fidelity. But SLF’s classic recorded material not only stands the test of time, but so do their live shows, which bring out punks of all ages to pay homage by shouting along. Even better: American punk forefathers The Avengers open the evening. Monday, October 14th, 7 PM. $30 advance, $50 reserved balcony. —Paul Cajun
