The Queers + Support: The 66ers

Info

THE QUEERS:

Formed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1982 by guitarist and frontman Joe Queer, The Queers are seminal figures in the pop-punk and Ramonescore genres. They are widely known for their rapid, raucous music, cheeky, intentionally juvenile lyrics, and a DIY touring ethic that has sustained them for decades.

Joe Queer (Joe King) created the band as an outlet for outcast energy, purposely choosing a provocative name to challenge the local art community. The lineup experienced significant early instability, though Joe Queer remained the driving, constant force.

THE 66ERS:

Joe Queer, the founder and leader of The Queers, has teamed up with Stephen Brookfield of Minnesota’s The 99ers, to form a new pop punk band...The 66ers. Together with Amy Heronemus (of Phoenix’s TA 80) on vocals and bass, Andy Wilson (of Atlanta’s Billy Batts and the Made Men) on drums, & Ron Ramone (of Rubber City Rebels) on keyboards, the band has recorded a new album “The 66ers...Have More Fun”. The band kicks ass...and then sweetens your senses. It roars through your bloodstream...and then soothes your heart. They got energy, melody and fun´stirred together for you to sip an unholy cocktail of sonic bliss.
