School Jerks + Cülo California Tour

For the last few months and into the immediate future, I've actually wanted to live on the West Coast for the first time in my life. No, it's not the blissful ignorance or happy-go-lucky attitude of the place, but the fact that so many sick tours have made their way through the area. Time to add another to the list because our friends in Toronto's self-proclaimed "true gods of savage raw HC" School Jerks and Chicago's Discharge-Ramones hybrid of Cülo are tearing through sunny California. Here are the dates:

Feb. 18h - San Francisco - Hemlock Bar (1131 Polk Street) w/ Wild Thing
Feb. 19th - Sacramento - Axewave Manor (2426 33rd) w/ Verraeterisch
Feb. 20th - Los Angeles - South Central Farmers Collective (41st and Long Beach Blvd) w/ Tuberculosis, Destruye Y Huye, Drapetomania
Feb. 21st - LA-area - TBA, hopefully something but email schooljerks@gmail.com if you can help
Feb. 22nd - Phoenix, AZ - Sound Kontrol (25th Street and Chambers) w/ Elders, Otro Mundo, No Bunny
Feb. 23rd - Fullerton - Riff Haus (1150 E. Valencia Dr.) - w/ Bad Antics, Concussion, Timebombs
Feb. 24th - Bakersfield -  Munoz Gym (1931 E. California Ave) w/ DADT, Carcinogenz
Feb. 25th - Oakland - The Swamp (35th and Market) w/ Ecoli, Neo-Cons

Be sure to check them out. Both bands will have new 7"s out, Cülo's Toxic Vision and School Jerks' Control 7". I haven't heard Cülo's (it promises to rule), but School Jerks' is probably my favorite material from a band I already adore. If you don't live on the west coast, you can preorder the Cülo 7" at Deranged. While you're there, be sure to pick up their Military Trend 7", as well. It's one of my favorite 7"s from last year. You can pick up the School Jerks record from Cowabunga! here, as well as new records from Slobs and Sweet Tooth.

For the record, I got no hate for you, West Coast! I love you and can't wait to visit you again!
