Alternative Tentacles Records is bringing back its weird, wild, and wonderful showcase, featuring a lineup of artists that could only be unleashed by the mind of Jello Biafra! We’re kicking it all off right here at home in San Francisco at The Great American Music Hall on Saturday, June 27!

Featuring the incredible Wheelchair Sports Camp, whose punk rock-infused hip-hop and brand-new album, oh imperfecta, have exploded onto the scene. The return of Death Hymn Number Nine, our favorite garage-punk zombies, risen from the grave to eat brains and shred faces. The exotic sounds of Voodoo 5 will provide the definitive soundtrack to summer. Hardcore legend Vic Bondi and His Issues will unleash epic tracks from his new solo album. And kicking things off are Crisis Actor, whose sound blends the sharp edge of Gang of Four with the intensity of Dead Kennedys.

Interested yet? Do NOT miss this unforgettable lineup of Alternative Tentacles artists!

It's official! Celebrate 30 years of Kultur Shock with the release of their long anticipated album, House of Kultur available on vinyl!

House of Kultur embodies the well- known sound of the band, and includes seven songs bouncing wildly between serious, political, sarcastic, social commentary, fun and funny, while seamlessly integrating elements of Balkan folk music, punk and metal, which are the band’s unmistakable trademark.

Recorded through 2024 and 2025 in Seattle and New York City, mixed and mastered by Oggi Kiossovski in Sofia, Bulgaria, and with visual and art concepts by Tico Ticulin and Majda Turkic in Croatia and Bosna i Herzegovina, the record is a testament for the power of true cross-distance and cross-cultural artistic collaboration, in direct defiance of the nativist tendencies which are plaguing our daily lives.

Kultur Shock  is not just a high-voltage blend of multi-ethnic music, attitude, and raw stage presence. It’s an incredible ongoing Project - an open, ever-evolving platform that breaks through creative limits and sheds the weight of legacy. We are all just lucky to bear witness.
