The Vandals
There is exactly one Christmas record that belongs to Southern California punk, and the band that made it is playing eight days before Christmas. Oi to the World came out in 1996, got covered by No Doubt the following year, and quietly became the album a certain kind of person puts on instead of Bing Crosby - the one your older cousin played out in the garage while everybody else stayed inside being polite about the ham. The Vandals have been doing this out of Huntington Beach since 1980, which means the floor in North Park will be three generations deep and all of them know the words to the same songs. A 6:30 door is early enough that the whole thing is finished in time to still have an evening afterward, which is its own kind of joke for a punk show and exactly why people bring their kids to this one now.
