2.   Among the performers were a Siberian throat singer, jazz-lounge combos, punk bands, blues singers, honky-tonkers and rappers.

3.   And then there were two plastered to the forehead of a member of the Voodoo Glow Skulls, a punk band photographed in Rolling Stone.

4.   Bad Religion, which opened the concert, is a punk band with a social conscience.

5.   Billie Joe, of the punk band Green Day, focused his awards speech on his wife, at home awaiting the birth of their second child.

6.   After high school, Stradlin, then a drummer, moved to Huntington Beach and hooked up with an Orange County three-chord punk band.

7.   After that project, she dropped out of Harvard for four years, playing electric guitar in an all-female punk band, Bound and Gagged.

8.   Albarn says that when they started they were more of a punk band than a pop band and, in concert, the hard edges are still evident.
