Red Dons playing To Be Punk Festival #12 – Novi Sad, Serbia

We are excite to announce that we are playing To Be Punk Fest in Novi Sad, Serbia. We are scheduled to share the stage with Cock Sparrer on June 1st. Below is the official announcement from the festival promoters.

Portland je odavno poznat po sjajnoj punk sceni a RED DONS je ve? desetak godina jedan od najsjajnijih njenih predstavnika. Ovaj nomadski bend ?iji ?lanovi u poslednje vreme žive na relaciji Amerika-Evropa uprkos udaljenosti uspevaju da održe kontinuitet i budu prisutni kako koncertno tako i sa izdanjima. Iza njih je deset vinila, tri odli?na albuma i sedam singlova. 2014. na pesmi “A Vote For The Unknown” gostovao im je TV Smith. Frontmen benda, gitarista i peva? Doug nedavno je postao otac pa je to jedan od razloga zašto je 2018. godina za Red Dons bila mirnija godina. Na naš poziv da do?u u Novi Sad i nastupe na To Be Punk-u odazvali su se sa oduševljenjem, kao da žive iza ?oška, i bukvalno u roku od dva dana, izorganizovali su vikend tour od ?etiri datuma. Tako da ?emo imati privilegiju i ?ast da nakon devet godina ugostimo jedan ameri?ki bend na festivalu. Red Dons ?e nastupiti u subotu 01. juna na bini u Letnjem bioskopu KC Novi Sad u Katoli?koj porti.

RED DONS!!!

It had been quite a while since the Red Dons last played in Los Angeles. About four years to be exact. Ever since, a couple friends and I have anxiously awaited their return. Well worth the wait, they played the Blue Star Cafe in downtown Los Angeles on Sept 6 (2012). Even better than when they played here a few years back. I would go as far to say they’re the best band I’ve seen all year. And I have seen some pretty good bands (Night Birds, Urban Blight, Rational Animals, NASA Space Universe, No Babies, Trench Rot, Hysterics, Grimace) within the span of a couple months. But Red Dons have this undeniable energy and presence. Everyone in the band seems genuinely happy to be on stage and playing music. The whole time they are constantly moving around, jumping into the crowd, and never missing a beat. Their recent seven inch, Ausländer, on Dirtnap is not to be snoozed on. Get it now! Play it repeatedly. I do. It’s one of those records that when I listen to it, I can’t help but go, “Gah!! What an amazing record!!!” The title track is perfect. Stop you dead in your tracks type perfect. -Matt Average
