The Urinals and Friends Remember D Boon

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:12:26 GMT

The Urinals and Friends Remember D Boon: Late Minutemen frontman D. Boon was born on April 1, 1958. This past Saturday, he would have turned 65 had he not been killed in an automobile accident in 1985 at the horribly young age of 27. His hometown of San Pedro simply won’t allow his life to be forgotten, hence the annual D Day celebration.And what a celebration it was. If the Sardine (and we’ll say it again — there are few better places to watch a punk rock show in all of greater Los Angeles) wasn’t sold out, it was pretty fucking close. The Pedro punks turned out en masse to celebrate their local hero, and they did his memory proud.Both Dondo and Rig provided the early entertainment — the latter were particularly impressive with a snotty and simultaneously psych twist on punk. When a trumpet made an appearance, we were all in.We saw Recess Records mainman Todd Congelliere, who also happens to co-own the Sardine, at this same venue recently with Toys Tha...
