Los Angeles, CA – For one night only, members of The Damned, The Stray Cats, Guns N’ Roses and The Alarm will come together as Dead Men Walking, a super-group unlike any other, for a one-of-a-kind collaborative performance on September 14 at the world famous Troubadour in Los Angeles, CA.

The core line-up of Dead Men Walking features Captain Sensible of The Damned, Slim Jim Phantom of The Stray Cats and Mike Peters of The Alarm. Special guests for the night will include SNL alumni/comedian Fred Armisen, Chris Cheney of The Living End and The Wrights, Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses and who knows, maybe even a few surprises will show up along the way. Made up entirely of artists who all truly define punk rock, rockabilly and alternative, Dead Men Walking will commemorate their first performance together by performing a medley of each individual member’s hit songs, old favorites, new originals and more. Tickets for the show go on sale THIS FRIDAY: http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/649969

Without The Damned, The Stray Cats and The Alarm, we most certainly wouldn’t have modern alternative rock. And one of the most influential rock bands of all time, Guns N’ Roses, may not have been the same if it weren’t for Duff McKagan’s punk roots, a direct result of Dead Men Walking band mates Captain Sensible, Slim Jim and Mike Peters. Naturally, they all became friends over time and what better way to connect than to do what they all do best— play music! Now enter Fred Armisen. In a 2014 Entertainment Weekly piece on his favorite cult records, the Saturday Night Live alum and Portlandia star counts The Damned as one of his all time favorite bands. He grew up listening to cult classics from The Damned, The Stray Cats, The Alarm, Velvet Revolver, Guns N’ Roses and more. Fred even created a character in the likeness of all of his musical heroes, the undeniably charming and hilarious British punker Ian Rubbish. Together, they form Dead Men Walking, living proof that punk has truly stood the test of time and continues to inspire new generations every single day. It’s no longer just sub-culture – it’s OUR culture.
