Photo Recap: Hardcore Punk Powerhouse Off! Tears It Up Friday at Tip’s

The mosh pit of yesteryear was alive and well Friday night (September 21) when hardcore punk supergroup Off! took the Tipitina’s stage with a blistering onslaught of sonic aggression — each outburst averaging but a minute long.

Helmed by Circle Jerks/Black Flag alum Keith Morris, the L.A. act — which also includes Burning Brides frontman Dimitri Coats, Redd Kross bassist Steven Shane McDonald and Rocket From The Crypt/Hot Snakes drummer Mario Rubalcaba — delivered an expectedly high-energy set, ripping through tracks from this year’s self-titled disc and 2010’s First Four EPs debut.

If you missed the action, don’t get your Dickies in a twist — check out pics of Friday’s show here. Also peep Pitchfork TV’s mini-documentary on the punk powerhouse, Off! "Momma’s Boys", which came out earlier this month, below.
