Tucson, AZ  - August 14, 2009  Known for celebrating and reuniting the best music Arizona has produced over the past decades, HocoFest finally addresses the popular and influential punk rock scene, and doing so in grand style. Several of Arizona’s most prominent punk rock acts from the last twenty years – including one surprise act- reunite for this one rare and explosive night of music, kicking off the Hocofest 2009 Club Congress stage. Headlining the proceedings is arguably Arizona’s most nationally well-known punk rock act, JFA (Jodie Foster’s Army). It’s been 17 years since they have played here, but the band has lost none of the energy that propelled them to national prominence in the 80’s.  Tucson’s hugely popular Blood Spasm and Feast Upon Cactus Thorns (more widely known for their unprintable acronym) led the Old pueblo’s punk rock scene from the mid eighties through the 90’s and now both will do the same again, reuniting exclusively for this night. Cosmic Jackhammer, another one of the best Tucson punk rock acts from the 90’s round out the Tucson contingent.  If you are a fan of old school, meat and potatoes Arizona punk rock, this is a very rare, and not to be missed showcase. As with all the Hocofest nights, tickets are only $10 in advance ($25 for all three days), and sell-outs are extremely likely. This night is also combined with the Outdoor Caliente Latin Solar Stage, increasing the likelihood of early sell-outs. Advance ticket purchases are highly recommended.
