Agent Orange are a Gas: It’s been a hot minute since Agent Orange’s last studio album, 1996’s Virtually Indestructible, with frontman Mike Palm telling us six years ago that he doesn’t take the release of a new body of work lightly. “There may have been some slight changes along the way, but the genre that I chose and the way I chose to present my sound is somewhat unique,” he said back then. The set will be stacked with classics then.

“Especially in the early days of the punk scene, any competitiveness was just for fun, if there was any at all,” Palm also said. “Orange County was still no man’s land as far as punk rock goes. So of course we were in L.A. seeing what was going on, seeing the bands. If anything, you could look at it as encouraging and inspirational — other artists doing something cool.”

The Kaotics, Sex Appeal, Trash Day, Social Insecurity, Couch Surf, Akira XX, and Tokyo Riot also performs.

Agent Orange are a Gas: The event takes place at 6 p.m. on Friday, December 15 at the Whisky A Go Go.
