Mad Caddies have been folding ska, punk, dixieland and reggae into the same set for three decades on Fat Wreck Chords, and this bill adds The Supervillains and Brendan Kelly of The Lawrence Arms for a genuinely deep punk-adjacent lineup. Brooklyn Bowl lets you bowl a frame between bands and eat without leaving. If you want a Sunday show that still feels like a night out, take this.

What to expect

A standing general-admission floor in front of the stage with the bowling lanes running behind it and table service along the rail. Three acts means an early start and a full evening. The horn-driven Mad Caddies set turns the floor into a skanking crowd rather than a standing one.

Good to know

  • L to Bedford Av or G to Nassau Av, then walk toward Wythe Avenue.
  • Lanes are booked separately from show entry and go early.
  • The Blue Ribbon kitchen serves through the performance.
  • Standing floor with limited mezzanine seating above.
  • A weekend-closing bill that wraps at a manageable hour.
  • Suits fans of the Fat Wreck Chords ska-punk lineage.
