With a name like Dong Johnson, you better have a set of balls to go with it. And the local punk outfit consisting of lead singer Opal Rock (5 Points Of Logic), drummer Chris Wilson (Ted Leo and The Pharmacists), guitarist Joshua K. Cicetti (Gildon Works, The Midnight Sounds), and bassist Tracy Stanton (Blood Feathers) are not afraid to lay them on stage for all to admire. Pulling together elements of hardcore, metal, surf rock and even funk, the band makes you feel like you’ve been brutally assaulted by gang of thugs, or you are running for your life in a nightmarish high-speed chase. Expect to feel some brotherly shoves tonight at Johnny Brenda’s where they’ll be headlining for the first time with support from Oklahoma’s Broncho and Colorado’s Bad Weather California. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Alexis V.
