First comes Sham 69, Friday at Luckey’s Cigar Club. One of the most popular acts from England’s ’70s-era punk explosion, Sham 69 is known for the punk anthem “If The Kids are United,” as well as a general sense of working class populism. Then, on Monday, some West Coast hardcore veterans, DOA and MDC (Millions of Dead Cops) stop by the Hi Fi Lounge. Canadian act DOA is said to have helped innovate hardcore punk alongside bands like Black Flag and The Germs. Known for their hatred of capitalism and championing other social justice issues, MDC started in the early ’80s Austin, Texas, but are now based in Portland.
