Punks' night out

I headed over to Targ on Friday night to check out the latest edition in the Punk Rock Covers series. This was No. 14, with sets featuring the songs of NoMeansNo, Personality Crisis, Avengers, Gun Club and Misfits. The show was also a benefit for Safety and Education for Trans Youth. First up some NoMeansNo with Chris and Mark from No Fuss, Tara from Lindbergh Babies and Joel from Bel Ann-Ana. Here's Mark!
