Concert Review

Foreign Object

The Garage, LA
May 18th, 2002

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 information, click here.
