The Atomic Punks are a tribute to early Van Halen, the David Lee Roth era, and they'll rock out in all their big-haired, sleeveless glory at the Rialto Theatre on Friday.
Formed in 1994, they were named Los Angeles' best tribute band six years in a row by Rock City News.
In his 1997 autobiography, "Crazy From the Heat," Roth referred to Ricky McCoy (vocals), Lance Turner (guitar), Joe Lester (bass) and Scott Patterson (drums) as the "best tribute to Van Halen ever."
The Rialto show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance and $14 on Friday.
