Cousin Brian Tour Kickoff at Hong Kong Garden Dec. 15

This evening’s early all-ages show at Hong Kong Garden will be the kickoff to Cousin Brian’s upcoming tour. The antagonistic four-piece dropped one of the most underrated local releases this year in their full-length First that is available via Mallrat Records, which was started by Slutever’s Nicole Snyder. While their debut LP is filled with infectious pop hooks that may inspire impromptu sing-alongs, there is no doubt when you see the unpredictable crew live that they are punx through and through. The show will also double as a release celebration for Skate Jawn’s 15th issue, and will be catered by Hoop Jones’ Fast Food Catering. Joining Cousin Brian on a packed bill are Slutever, Slow Animal, Trepanning, Vengeance and the Feral Dogs, Cold Foamers, and Bug Chasers.
