Dead Boys With Cte + Sewerside Bombers

A night of raw, confrontational punk brings three generations of underground energy to one of Miami’s most storied live-music rooms.

Dead Boys perform on Friday, February 27, from 8 p.m. to midnight at Churchill’s Pub in Little Haiti, joined by Cte and Sewerside Bombers. Emerging from the mid-1970s Cleveland and New York punk scenes, Dead Boys are widely regarded as one of the defining bands of early American punk, known for their ferocity, nihilistic humor and uncompromising live presence.

Best remembered for their debut album Young Loud and Snotty, the band helped set the tone for punk’s abrasive edge alongside contemporaries like the Stooges and the Ramones. While original frontman Stiv Bators remains an enduring icon of punk excess, the band’s later incarnations have carried the Dead Boys catalog forward through high-volume, no-frills performances that emphasize speed, attitude and confrontation over nostalgia.

Local support comes from Cte and Sewerside Bombers, both rooted in punk’s aggressive, street-level tradition and well suited to Churchill’s long-standing role as a hub for underground and alternative music. Set inside the Little Haiti venue’s close-quarters room, the show leans into punk’s original spirit: loud, confrontational and unapologetically alive.
