Personal & the Pizzas dish up extra cheese at the Earl tonight

Monday, July 20th, 2009

If you like extra cheese with your punk rock idol worship, than Personal & the Pizza’s are for you.

Hailing from the greasiest pizza joints on the Jersey shore, the group melts straight-up Stooges and Ramones riffs into their songs about breakups and brass-knuckle fights, all with a thick Jersey drawl.

Don’t think about it too hard; it’s a situationist punk novelty show that’s best illustrated by such cheesy, existential anthems as “I Don’t Wanna Be No Personal Pizza,” “I Can Read” and “Tearjerker.” These lunk-heads season their pain with plenty of pepperoni, causing a pizza party to break out everywhere they go. Coconut Coolouts and Barreracudas open.

$8. 9 p.m. The Earl, 488 Flat Shoals Ave. 404-522-3950.
