AUTHORITY ZERO
Authority Zero come to Transplants Brewing as Jason DeVore marks 30 years of the band. The night is framed as both a look forward and a reflection on the group’s past, with the venue promising a powerful set. No supporting performers or specific onstage lineup are listed for this date, so the focus is squarely on Authority Zero’s anniversary-era performance in the brewery’s connected music hall.
Formed in Mesa, Arizona, in 1994, Authority Zero describe their music as “melodic punk rock with reggae grooves and desert-bred energy.” Their catalogue has also been characterized as anthemic melodic punk and reggae. The band are known for relentless touring and high-energy live shows, having built their following through “road miles and word of mouth” while holding to DIY roots. Jason DeVore is listed as singer in the available artist information; recordings also credit Mike Spero, Dan Aid and Chris Dalley, though the material does not confirm who will play this December show. A 2021 release featured Iagri Shuhei of HEY-SMITH.
Transplants Brewing pairs its own inventive beers and otherworldly art with a dedicated room for live performances, giving a show night a distinctly brewery-made backdrop. In Palmdale’s industrial area, you can start in the taproom among custom murals, then move into the connected music hall, where a second bar lets you keep a drink close without leaving the performance. The lineup ranges from touring bands to comedy, drag, burlesque and wrestling, so check the event listing for the specific night’s format and ticket details. There is no in-house kitchen; food trucks rotate through, with schedules posted alongside events. The brewery’s current site lists regular opening hours and a live calendar, making it an operating spot where a concert can be part of a broader evening out.
