Alternative Tentacles Records descends upon San Francisco’s legendary Great American Music Hall on Sunday, December 10th to honor the holiday season’s most bizarre and frightening alpine tradition, KRAMPUS NIGHT! Prohibited in Europe for decades, Krampusnacht sees Saint Nicholas’ demonic horned companion, Krampus on a mission to frighten and punish all the children who were naughty instead of nice! This makes San Francisco an ideal location to launch a new annual tradition from the proudly subversive record label.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
Who better than Jello Biafra to host a night dedicated to celebrating punk rock and Krampus, a demonic figure and comrade of Saint Nicholas, whose holiday mission is to frighten and punish all the children who were naughty instead of nice? The punk icon, activist, and former lead singer of the Dead Kennedys MCs the show with ArnoCorps, The Darts, and DFMK, all bands currently on "Alternative Tentacles," the punk label Biafra co-founded.
