The long-running punk supergroup, OFF! have announced their final three shows in July of 2024, before an indefinite hiatus. One taking place in New York City, another in Los Angeles and another in Chicago. Each show will feature one incredible opener, paired with an advanced screening of their long-gestating feature film, Free LSD. The show openers are as follows: Fucked Up in New York, Shellac in Chicago and Surfbort in Los Angeles.
Stream Free LSD here.
The film counterpart, closed the 2023 Slamdance Film Festival is a punk-rock, sci-fi midnight movie that follows the story of Keith (Keith Morris) as he embarks on an inter-dimensional journey after using an experimental drug that provides a glimpse into a parallel universe where he is the singer of a fictional version of OFF!. This band is also the target of an advanced alien species, dead set on preventing the group from making an album that holds the key to elevating human consciousness. FREE LSD was written and directed by Dimitri Coats. It also has features from Jack Black, David Yow (Jesus Lizard), Chelsea Debo, James Duval, D.H. Peligro (Dead Kennedys), Dana Gould, Chris D. (Flesh Eaters), Chloe Dykstra, Davey Havok (AFI), Don Bolles (Germs), Don Nguyen, and many more.
OFF! was formed by Keith Morris and Dimitri Coats back in the later half of 2009. They evolved from barnstorming hardcore traditionalists to a multimedia psychedelic punk institution over the course of fourteen years. OFF! features members from Circle Jerks, Thundercat, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead and many others. They’re renowned for their ferocious, unyielding live performances and their 2010 debut, First Four EPs. Over time, they released three more albums that continued to expand on the idea that served as the opening of a hardcore revival. This culminates into their masterpiece album, Free LSD. The album was written and recorded to go alongside the film of the same name.
