You would think that a thrash punk band like Suicidal Tendencies would naturally lose some of their energy and edge after three decades, but after seeing a recent show of theirs, they come off as ageless. Vocalist Mike Muir and the boys got the packed theater slamming, jumping, and moshing as soon as they hit the stage.
They got the room going with some familiarity, leading off the show with oldies-but-goodies, including signature classic "Institutionalized" (just one Pepsi would be nice after working up a sweat from the moshing). The newer material that followed, such as Slam City, kept the crowd pumped up and proved that the band could still deliver sick, aggressive grooves after 30-plus years.
You could tell that Muir, the founder/only permanent member, was truly grateful of all the fans who they acquired over the band's storied career. He frequently addressed the crowd, commending first-time concertgoers and veteran fans for coming together, and accommodated several fan requests for certain songs. Once ST tore into "Possessed to Skate," the already-manic energy of the band and crowd alike turned up to 11, and it was a truly amazing culmination of a wild night of going "psycho" with the psycho masters. It felt like one big, slammin' family that night; props to Suicidal Tendencies for not losing a step since 1981.
