One of the city’s underground music venues is bringing punk rock out of the basement and into the streets Saturday as it celebrates its 30th birthday.
Lost Cross — one of the country’s oldest punk houses — organized an outdoor party to mark the occasion with performances by local and touring bands. Music begins at 5 p.m. with opening band “Hans Predator” at Lost Cross, at 407 W. Elm St.
All-access wristbands are $15 and can be purchased Saturday at Lost Cross.

“It’s great that Carbondale has chosen to embrace and celebrate the independent music scene because it’s a form of pride for this city,” Beard said.
