Every year hometown heroes Punk Rock Project works tirelessly to put together the Houston Punkfest to raise money and awareness for whatever group that is near and dear to them. Due to so many being hurt by Hurricane Harvey, the Houston Food Bank needs some extra help and they're going to get everything we can give 'em. The Hates are proud to be a part of the 2018 lineup.

This year's show will be held at the Fabulous Continental Club! Be there!

The Hates are bringing a little of their Texas Insanity back to California for a night you won't want to miss! Mish Bondage & the Blokes from Portland, OR will be there, & La Tuya will open.

It's been over 10 years since The Hates brought a little Lone Star punk to California, and the wait for their return is almost over! You don't want to miss this 21+ show!

The Hates are back after over a year waiting for our fearless leader Christian to recover from everything that 2017 could throw at him, including shoulder surgery and cancer! Join us for a killer night of great punk and celebration with: $50 Goat (featuring members of the Texas Mod Crushers) Lizzie Boredom (from Dallas) and Room 101 (from New Orleans)

Our fearless leader, Christian, is about to have major surgery done on his shoulder- injured from decades of slinging amps and guitars all around the Bayou City, the Lone Star state, and this great nation of punk. He'll be out of work for at least 3 months, and we want to show our support for him as he recovers. Come join us to send him off right with Gut Radio, Screech of Death, and Mell Hell & the Texas Mod Crushers. There will be a silent auction with rare Hates memorabilia and a raffle of some kickass items donated by some of our punk community's best. This will be the last time The Hates play in a while, so come start a pit and oi! with us all night!

Houston may not get enough props for being a musical city but we've got a killer vibe going on with all kinds of great bands from across all kinds of genres. Rap, funk, salsa, metal, reggae, country, soul, punk- and more! SLM Buzz has set up this showcase to honor our diverse music scene and reminds us all support each other- and at this first annual event also they're giving us an award. The Local Music Legends Award! It's crazy, but so rad. And not bad for a bunch of old guys, right?Join us at Scout Bar for a night of great music from all over the Bayou City, including some old school punk!

Thanks to SLM for this unexpected honour!
