About the event
🔥 Formed in 2002 by local legends from Furious Jebediah and Epileptic Cheetah (CR Sellouts), Backdoor Betty tore up the scene with a wild mix of pop-punk, hardcore, and even a touch of jazz. Known for their explosive live shows and fearless genre-blending, these five tore it up at every venue—no matter the size. 23 years later, they're still at it, and still notching their venue belt, this time with The Ideal Theater & Bar.
Joining the lineup are rising local acts Slash Fire and Calculated (check out Calculated's Spotify channel, below). From old-school punk to new-age alt rock, this show offers something for everyone—longtime fans, new faces, and anyone curious about the raw power and talent of our local original rock scene.
