Greg Hunter: No Age SUPERFAN, Ex-Handsome Dude

Of concertgoing journeys with yer bros... Gabe, Greg and I saw No Age not once, but TWICE yesterday, first at a free show at the South St. Seaport and then later that night at Death by Audio in Brooklyn.


The first and really only thing you need to know about No Age live: all of the ambient, floating guitar parts that break up the punk explosions on record... gone. Their two sets were nothing but loud--really fucking loud when you consider that there are only two of them--speedy punk rock.


These two shows brought me back to when I was 14 and seeing local punk shows for the first time. The constant stink of a moshpit, going crowdsurfing... experienced it all anew. I had forgotten what it was like to be thrown ten feet into another human being and get kicked in the head. Gabe bled; all I can claim is a bruise by my eyebrow.


All these photos are from the show at the Seaport. No Age's second set was at a much smaller space and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to, really just something special. Here's a good-quality video from the show with "Eraser" and "Everybody's Down." Greg and I are definitely somewhere in this video but it pans over us too quickly to see.
