Huntington Beach’s own (Hed) P.E. have been carrying the flag of G Punk ever since forming in 1994. After myriad shows in the Southern California area, the band grabbed the attention of numerous major labels and eventually landed a proper record deal via Jive Records/BMG. Sacramento area venues have hosted the band on several occasions including Bo Jangle’s, Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, Big Shots Roseville, The Boardwalk, and more.

Although singer Paulo Sergio “Jared” Gomes aka Jahred and M.C.U.D. (“MC Underdog” is the only member left from the now-classic Jive Records line-up, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. At present, he is backed by the able Jeremiah “Trauma” Stratton (drums, backing vocals), Kurt “Kid Bass” Blankenship (bass), and Nathan Javier (guitar) and, if their recent YouTube videos are any indication, they’re still delivering the goods and then some.

Their brand new record on Suburban Noize – a label they’ve been signed to since 2006 – is called ‘Detox’ and already they’ve been feeling the love on I Tunes debuting at an astounding #1 on the rock and metal charts. For those who haven’t been paying attention, the band has been quite prolific since joining the label.

Once more, they’ve been actively touring every year without fail and have yet another run starting in Montana on January 20th and ending on February 1st in Hermosa Beach. Expect to hear some classic cuts as well as a hefty dose from the latest and other Suburban Noize offerings.

(Hed) P.E. play with special guest Johnny Richter X Stacc Styles and Nuts Dip on Wednesday, January 24th at Goldfield Trading Post located at 1630 J Street in downtown Sacramento. Doors open at 6pm and the show kicks off promptly at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased at goldfieldtradingpost.com for $20 advance or take your chances at the door. All ages are welcome.
