Dayglo Abortions and a Midnight Flea Market

Another week, another old school street punk band plays North Baltimore.

After what seemed like a dearth of music from the age that defined the genre, this past year has seen legends of the underground, sometimes wheezing, most often killing it, make regular stops in Charm City.

This Friday at the Ottobar it’s Vancouver’s Dayglo Abortions, who formed in the golden era of street punk, 1979-1981. As their name suggests, they are no strangers to offending parents, police and the Canadian government. Their often graphic cover art resulted in the band having to defend itself from several obscenity lawsuits.

On this tour the group performs as a trio with a blind drummer. Lead singer Cretin is still there, as loud and as opinionated as ever. If you’ve ever wondered what GG and Merle Allin’s Canadian cousins would be like, it’s the Dayglo Abortions.

Get some sleep after the Dayglo show so you can be up and ready for the Midnight Flea Market at the Hexagon on Saturday night. There’s gonna be a live DJ while you rifle through other, cooler people’s things. You could score an amazing vintage original Manowar tour shirt, and velvet Kenny Rogers portrait all in one haul! OK, that’s the kind of stuff dreams are made of, but it could happen.
