MC50 ANNOUNCE “KICK OUT THE JAMS: THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR” STOP AT METRO<\/strong><\/p>\n

The supergroup features MC5 founding guitarist Wayne Kramer, Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Brendan Canty (Fugazi), Dug Pinnick (King’s X), and Marcus Durant (Zen Guerilla).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago, IL \u2014\u00a0Wayne Kramer, leader of Detroit\u2019s proto-punk\/hard rock band MC5, has announced\u00a035 North American dates for \u201cKick Out the Jams: The 50th Anniversary Tour,\u201d which will land at Metro on\u00a0WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24<\/strong>.\u00a0Touring with the MC50 \u2014 which includes guitarist Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), drummer Brendan Canty (Fugazi), bassist Dug Pinnick (King\u2019s X), and frontman Marcus Durant (Zen Guerrilla) \u2014\u00a0Kramer will be celebrating the landmark anniversary of the MC5\u2019s incendiary debut album Kick Out the Jams<\/em> and the release of his memoir The Hard Stuff: Dope, Crime, the MC5, and My Life of Impossibilities (<\/em>August 14,\u00a0Da Capo Press).<\/p>\n

On the MC50 tour, Kramer and the band will play the album Kick Out the Jams<\/em> in its entirety followed by an encore of MC5 material that will change each night.\u00a0As Kramer explains: \u201cThis band will rip your head off. It\u2019s real, raw, sweaty, total energy rock and roll, like a bunch of 40-to-70-year-old punks on a meth power trip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kick Out the Jams<\/em> is recognized as the galvanizing live document that introduced a major voice of late \u201960s counterculture and proved incomparably influential on metal, punk, stoner rock, and almost every other form of loud, limitless, long-haired music to come. The recording took place just months after the band\u2019s appearance at Chicago\u2019s riotous 1968 Democratic National Convention \u2014 a pivotal moment in modern American politics.<\/p>\n

Says Kramer of revisiting Kick Out The Jams: <\/em>\u201cToday, there is a corrupt regime in power, an endless war thousands of miles away, and uncontrollable violence wracking our country. It\u2019s becoming less and less clear if we\u2019re talking about 1968 or 2018. I\u2019m now compelled to share this music I created with my brothers 50 years ago. My goal is that the audience leaves these concerts fueled by the positive and unifying power of rock music.\u201d<\/p>\n
