About Me

The Johnny Puke Birthday Bash is a yearly event held in Charleston, South Carolina thrown by aging punk activist Johnny Puke. Begun as a way to thank the people who attended punk shows all year long at Cumberlands (the club Puke has booked for 11 years), the birthday presents all go to the kids as between each band numbers are drawn for all kinds of goodies donated by our generous sponsors like Hopeless Records, BYO Records, Fat Wreck Chords, and tons more. There is always a good cause too, as money and goods are donated to local charities each year and in 2003, a record 225 cans were given to The Good Samaritan Mission. The country's best bands are always featured, coming from all over for the cause...and the party!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You-on August 18th and 19th at Cumberland's, 301 King Street, Charleston, South Carolina at 6 p.m. All ages.
