About this event
Whatever, Dude Productions & Montgomery Drive Present GAINESVILLE (UNOFFICIAL) PRE-FEST #8 New Junk City, Rodeo Boys, Tired Radio, Arcadia Grey, Jen Pop, Raging Nathans, Human Issue, Horace Pinker, Debt Neglector, The Dreaded Laramie, Don't Panic, Suck Brick Kid, AND MANY MORE! October 22nd, 2026 The Backyard and Palomino Pool Hall 3:00PM Doors $35 Advance / $40 - 9/30 Five Hundred Bucks is a filthy, beautiful punk rock fever dream clawing its way out of Philadelphia, featuring members of The Holy Mess, Captain, We’re Sinking, Teen Agers, and Seagulls—stitched together by Jeff Riddle: songwriter, guitarist, accidental philosopher. The bastard child of burned-out idealism and a four-month songwriting bender in a garage, their latest record Pest Sounds sounds like someone set their old dreams on fire and recorded the screams.
These songs are full of ghosts: generational addiction, dead friends, southern doom, and the kind of youthful rot you can only write about once it’s already eaten half your soul. It’s punk rock with a bleeding heart and a busted compass, stumbling toward meaning in the wreckage.
