Sticks of Fire has struck an agreement with Downtown West Events to co-sponsor a great live music event here in Tampa.
Outrageous national punk outfit Rubber City Rebels have embarked on a national tour, which includes a stop here at Skipper’s Smokehouse. The Rebels, a part of the punk scene that included Devo and the dead boys, are touring in support of their latest CD. The new album, Pierce My Brain can be picked up at various record stores throughout the area.
Opening for the Rebels on June 9 are two great local bands, Hat Trick Heroes and Rappongi’s Ace.
Buy tickets for the concert now, check in with Downtown West, and make sure you keep reading Sticks of Fire for more information about all these bands, not to mention free giveaways coming soon!

great news! Rubber City Rebels! An authentic original from Akron Ohio! How did you get them? They are to punk what the Beatles are to the British Invasion! This is a tremendous coup for SOF! I gotta get tickets right away!

Thanks to Downtown West Events http://downtownwestevents.com/ for the opportunity! Perhaps we’ll do another very soon. [...]
