Joey got to see the Damned and the Adverts play Dallas on May 18, 2025, and it brought back memories of the first time he saw them, at the Cameo Theater show in ‘89. “It was the ‘last show’ of their ‘Final Damnation’ tour. They just destroyed their drums and equipment at the end, total chaos! Local heroes Amazing Grace and Agony in the Garden were tapped to open. Went down early in the afternoon and was able to catch soundcheck and meet the band. They still sound amazing!”
