Leftöver Crack books Temblor Brewing for an all-ages Saturday, Nov 21

The New York crack-rock-steady band returns to the road and lands in a 500-cap brewery room off Buck Owens Boulevard, with Human Issue on the bill.

In Bakersfield, punk shows are usually decided in one of a handful of rooms, and for years one of them has been a brewery. On Saturday, Nov 21, Leftöver Crack plays Temblor Brewing Company, with Human Issue on the bill. The show is all ages and starts at 7pm.

The date was announced Oct 19. Tickets are on sale now through TicketWeb. Temblor holds about 500 people, which is small for a band with Leftöver Crack's following. Expect it to sell steadily rather than all at once, and don't count on getting in at the door that night.

For anyone who wasn't around for the first wave: Leftöver Crack came out of New York's squat-punk scene playing what they call crack rock steady. It's hardcore and ska jammed together, fast and loud, with lyrics aimed squarely at cops, capitalism and the state. They have never been a band that goes easy. Their most recent full-length, *Constructs of the State*, came out in 2015 and was their first studio album in more than a decade. That gap says a lot about how they operate: they make records when they have something to say, and they tour hard in between.

They've been touring hard this year. In May they played West Coast dates with Union 13, Spaceman Bob and Human Issue, including a Regent Theater show in downtown Los Angeles. Human Issue comes along again for this Bakersfield night, so you're getting part of a package that has been working all year, not a band meeting its openers at soundcheck.

Why Temblor? The brewery sits at 3200 Buck Owens Blvd. and was built as more than a taproom. It's a 14,000-square-foot brewery and kitchen with an event and concert space, which is a big part of why touring punk, metal and hip-hop acts keep routing through Bakersfield instead of driving past on the 99. It's a place where an all-ages crowd and a bar crowd can share one room, and for a band like this, that matters. Leftöver Crack shows have always been as much for the kid seeing their first pit as for the lifer who has owned the records since the CD era.

Five hundred people, one room, and a band that has never played anything halfway.

Know before you go: it's all ages, so bring ID if you plan to drink. Doors and set times beyond the 7pm start haven't been posted, so check Temblor's page the week of the show. And this is a Leftöver Crack show, so wear shoes you don't mind losing.

Bakersfield doesn't get every tour, but it got this one, and in a room where nobody is far from the stage.
