DOA must be Canada's longest serving punk rock band - they're like the Motorhead of punk. Joe "Shithead" Kiethley is the only original member, but they had an experienced lineup for their Barrymore's show. Bassist Randy Rampage has been on board since the genre-naming
Hardcore 81, and the Great Baldini (a.k.a. Jan Rodgerson) has done his time as well. These guys kick it out live, with Joe in particular showing off rock jumps that would do credit to a punk half his age. Joe has kept active running
Sudden Death Records, recording a solo album and writing a book,
I Shithead: A Life In Punk, but his real claim to fame will always be as the hoarse-voiced frontman of DOA.
Joe.

The Great Baldini!

They recently rereleased their classic
War on 45 with a bunch of extra tracks. Edwin Starr's always timely
War and
I'm Right You're Wrong got a run through in their lengthy set.
