Ladies and Gentlemen, after a five year hiatus
the hardcore heavy weight champions Foreign Object landed
at The Garage on Santa Monica Blvd. Opening the show was the
punk rock band The Bad Samaritans and the rock and roll aggression
of the Street Walking Cheetahs. Bad Samaritans, as always,
put on another performance of their own style of punk rock
madness.

Bad Samaritans
This was my first time seeing the Street Walking
Cheetahs, who were voted best rock band of the year 2000 by
L.A Weekly. This band rocked with a rip-roaring attitude that
reminded me of the great slamming bands of music past, combining
both elements of old punk and straight up your ass rock-n-roll.

Street Walking Cheetahs
Foreign Object is a punk rock concert mixed
with a wrestling match. The conflict of the night matched
the reigning champion New Breed against challenger Anarchy.
New Breed claimed that old punk was out, and new punk is in.
New Breed believe that "Punk rock is about getting girls!"
and expressed his love for these new bands by wearing Green
Day and Blink 182 shirts.

Anarchy and the rest of Foreign Object got
on stage and started the show out playing a blend of their
own wrestling inspired songs. New Breed claiming that Anarchy
was a loser and he was going to beat him bad interrupted the
set. So Anarchy responded to New Breeds threat by yelling
back, "I’m not a loser." Then the band went straight into
a cover of the old Descendents tune with the same name.

Once Foreign Object ripped through "Main Event",
the crowd roared knowing what was to come next. . The main
event was New Breed vs. Anarchy. The crowd cleared from the
stage so Anarchy and New Breed could perform their professional
wrestling antics that even included Anarchy being tossed off
the stage onto a table. With mad pile drivers and body slams
Anarchy and New Breed began to pummel each other.

"Oh Shit, Not again!"
The winner of the night was Anarchy who is now
the reigning champion. When asked what he wanted to do after
he won the match he screamed, "I want to conquer the world!"
Then the band went straight into a ripping cover of the Bad
Religion song you know the one off of "No Control".
Foreign Object then ripped through the rest of their set that
included their popular hit, "Pile Driver!" These guys take
their wrestling seriously for every Foreign Object show includes
the elements of a professional wrestling match, an opening
announcement before the band and match and a referee to judge
the event.

With a mix of wrestling and straight in your
face fucking no fooling balls to the wall punk a Foreign Object
show is hard to beat. Contact me fucker’s if you dare for
the next Foreign Object show.
Look for Foreign Object at the Weekend of
Horrors on August 17-18. If you would like additional
