Righteous Weirdness
The happy Valley bubbles daily with politics, but we could certainly stand to be louder about it. Enter, stage left: Out of System Transfer, Brooklyn’s “gonzo anti-folk punk rock radical leftist hootenanny.” Their funny and fierce tunes blend the rage of Reagan-era punks like Dead Kennedys and Mojo Nixon with the rootsy feel and harmonies of acts like the Carter Family and Pete Seeger. With unparalleled energy, uncompromising radical politics, and an insatiable thirst for fun, these four anarchofolk weirdos share one primary main objective: to rock your entire ass off. Their 8:45 p.m. set — which is the kickoff show for their spring tour of the Northeast — opens with a 7 p.m. set by solo acoustic artist Tony Valley and a 7:45 p.m. set by Colorway frontman F. Alex Johnson.
Out of System Transfer: With solo sets by Tony Valley and F. Alex Johnson. Beginning at 7 p.m. Free. Luthier’s Co-op, 108 Cottage St., Easthampton. (413) 527-6627, luthiers-coop.com.
