Redd Kross, Dale Crover (DJ set)

By my count and hardly verified by Price Waterhouse, Redd Kross only taco’d in Austin once or twice, at the most, since lighting up Liberty Lunch during the mid-Nineties grunge takeover. Teen glam-punks from Los Angeles suburb Hawthorne, brothers Steven and Jeff McDonald remain SoCal pop pioneers, early Redd Kross band members famously including Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks, Bad Religion) and Ron Reyes (Black Flag). Their double-album debut, June’s self-titled Redd Kross, notches only their eighth album in 42 years, a sprawling pop-rock gem brimming with “Candy Coloured Catastrophe” and “Simple Magic.” 2023 documentary Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story fills in the blanks. – Raoul Hernandez
