Indiana pop-punk legends since the 1980s
Sloppy Seconds
with special guests Weird Paul Petroskey Rock Band
and The Scratch n' Sniffs

Sloppy Seconds is a punk band from Indianapolis that started in the mid-1980s, influenced by The Ramones and The Dickies. The band spent its first three years writing songs and honing its craft, releasing its first record, a 4-song EP called The First Seven Inches, in 1987

Following that EP, the band went into the studio on its own, and eventually got picked up by Toxic Shock Records for the 1989 album Destroyed (a parody on KISS' 1976 album Destroyer). A series of three singles followed for fans of the 7-inch vinyl format, including their controversial paean to porn queen Traci Lords, "Come Back Traci."

With such underground hits as I Want em Dead, and So Fucked up, the band prefers to sing about such topics as pornography, classic horror movies, old TV shows, comic books, alcohol, being fat, and getting drunk. They have been quoted as being proud to be fat, drunk, and stupid. Their name is the slang term for second-hand sexual intercourse.

Sloppy Seconds hosted a yearly festival called Sloppypalooza in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2008, the group returned after a long hiatus, releasing Endless Bummer, their first full-length in ten years. In 2010, Sloppy Seconds toured supporting the 20th anniversary of Destroyed.
