Pennywise

Punk rock legends Pennywise have been an emblem of SoCal surf and skate culture ever since their self-titled 1991 debut. As one of the most successful independent punk outfits of all time, Pennywise elevated bros to sacred status with seminal punk anthems like \"Bro Hymn\" and \"Living for Today,\" building a massive following that still turns out in full force for their moshpit-heavy live shows. With a new album due out in 2014 — their first with original lead singer Jim Lindberg since 2008's Reason to Believe — the band promises to pull out all the stops on their upcoming tour dates.BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:Formed in Southern C.

PW played 'About Time' cover to cover and was nothing less than awesome. Close out with a little 'Bro Hymn' ...what more could you ask for. Still bruised up from the pit but wouldn't have it any other way!

Never a disappointment. They bring it every time and this was no exception. It clearly shows that they love what they do and truly love their fans. What a blast! That was my 3rd time seeing them since 2014 and can't wait to see them again!

I'm a rabid Pennywise fan. I have every album and know everyword. This concert was a major disappointment. The band got totally hammered in Chicago the night before and the show was terrible. They were so bad that it took me like 45 seconds just to figure out what song they were playing. Pepper was good though and their energy was high.

Dear Pennywise, I have never been to a show before where I saw so many lame people, girls in high heels and douchebag jocks....ditch Pepper and play for yourselves.

I was introduced to Pepper through a friend and ever since I first heard them I have been dying to see them in concert. Their presence on stage was awesome. They were lively, raunchy and hilarious - and best of all, they sound great live. The bands who played before them were also great as well.

This weekend was probably the greatest of my life. The day before this I was in New York City and won two additional tickets to the show after already buying tickets for my friends and I. I simply took more people and it was even more fun! What a ridiculously great venue and great times I will never forget! I'd go to a show at this venue just to be there, it's that good! Every set was smooth and interesting. There were no long wait times in between bands. Just enough to catch our breaths between dancing. This show set the bar for the way my friends and I enjoy our New York City shows (week after week). I just saw The Supervillains again last night @ Nokia Theatre based on this show. While I was there with my friends we won 6 tickets to get inside! We were there with our money waiting to pay for the tickets and this lady just gave them to us. I love life

Ummm, Pepper sucks but I'd like to thank them for getting the little kids to buy tickets and leave after their set to clear the area for real pennywise fans to have a good time. Their generic sound bored me to the point that I got even more hype for Pennywise to come on. Granted, I've never seen Pennywise soo hammered in my 13 times of seeing them, they still put on a killer show as expected. Shout out to Authority Zero. I am a fan of AZ but this was my first time seeing them and they absolutely killed it

Huge fan of all 3 bands. A Wilhelm Scream is amazing live and the reason I drove 2 hours was for Anti-Flag and they did not disappoint. They sounded exactly like their albums. Everything was on point. Pennywise I've seen several times the original lead singer is back. They do covers so wear your favorite band tee

My husband and I have been waiting for this moment for years. I bought the tickets as a Christmas gift for him and could hardly keep it a secret. The energy during the entire show was awesome and you could feel the love and respect everyone was channeling when Pennywise took the stage. They played hit after hit and the montage they showed commemorating their 25th anniversary was beyond words. We can't wait to go to another show!

Good show, I enjoyed it BUT......only 57 minutes and NO encore! I have been to 100 shows in my life and this was the first time a band didn't do an encore. That is lame. You complain about "big business" during the show, but you can't deliver an encore?? If big business ran your show, there would have been an encore!!

The show was great from beginning to end. I just wish that Bigwig played like they were supposed to. I also wish that Authority zero had a better time slot and that their set time was longer. As for pennywise, the setlist was amazing, the sound was great, and the new singer was excellent.

Lagwagon killed it as usual and so did Pennywise. I've seen both bands about a dozen times each and they never disappoint. The sound was great. The pit was insane and took up about 75% of the floor.

Unreal show and wicked crowd turnout! Disappointed that Bigwig didn't show up but Authority Zero and Pennywise more than made up for it. New singer was excellent too but the sound seemed off to me, vocals too quiet... Other than that, amazing show and can't wait to hear more from Pennywise and the new vocals. Sorry Ignite and thank you!

When we first arrived, there were plenty of t-shirt stands with lots of different choices (always a plus!). Everything was moderately priced, (we got 2 t-shirts for about 40$). We got there early and found an awesome spot. The venue had two upper levels that had overlooking balconies, it was much less crowded then the floor. The opening acts definitely got the show started, especially the Supervillians! This was my second time seeing Pepper. My boyfriend is from Oahu, Hi, so he introduced me to their music and ever since then we have tried to make all their shows that are close by. As usual, Pepper was nothing less than amazing. Three amazingly talented guys, that seem to be very down to earth, and completely in tune to what their fans want. Every single song they played pumped up the crowd more than the last. After Peppers set was over, Pennywise came on, and soon after we left because the crowd was getting a little obnoxious. The only complaints i have are that the drinks were extremely over priced (suppose that is the price you pay to see a concert in NYC). Pepper is always amazing, and this just sealed the deal for me!

Let me just start saying I'm a huge Pennywise fan. I've been listening to them since high school. I never had seen them prior and they were always on my bucket list. I got there near the end of Strung Outs set. I was glad I missed them because they sounded terrible. Like when you turn your speakers up louder then they can handle. So around 930 Pennywise came out. They sounded a bit better but still the too loud for the speakers sound. They played most of the favs and ended it with bro hymn at 1043pm. They were done, no encore. I was a little surprised. Maybe I'm just getting old and it was too loud for me. But I would really like to hear what others thought of the show.

Pennywise and H2O were both great Staff at the new HOB Anaheim was kind and helpful, I did have to pay $6 to park at this venue though. When I was leaving this kroq chip person from the kevin and bean morning show cussed me out very mean and rude person. I will not be going to shows sponsored by KROQ anymore. But Pennywise put on a great show as did H2O

Pennywise killed it! About time all the way through soup to nuts as Jim said. It was as good as seeing them in the 90s. They also did Bad Religon, Minor Threat as well as 10 of their best sing along songs like F Authority and of course Bro Hymn. Great night and worth the wait. The only bad thing I'd say is Stone Pony should allow reentry. If I paid for my ticket and decide I want to leave because I don't like an opener or just want to get some air or whatever I should not fell trapped.

Pennywise always brings it. But when they play in LA they bring it even harder. They played my all time favorite album, and the crowd went nuts. The circle pit was huge, the Palladium was the perfect size. Acoustics were solid, standard complaints: why is beer so expensive everywhere? If you want to see a rad punk show go see Pennywise. Period.
