event Pepper

You have to hand it to bands—like Pepper—that have somehow spawned full-fledged careers singing about downing brews and blunts with their brahs and babes. Perhaps it was fate that Sublime met an early demise and passed on the West Coast reggae-rock torch, because Pepper’s been supplying the frat-party soundtrack ever since. The group’s laid-back, beach-y roots may be in Kona, Hawaii, but these bros practically define the Volcom-loving, skates-and-tats lifestyle of the SoCal dude. But it apparently also goes over well in Boulder, Co., where the band recorded its new live album Kona Gold, to follow 2008's studio effort, another disc of beach-bunny bait called Pink Crustaceans And Good Vibrations.
