The American punk rock band from Huntington Beach, California, The Offspring , is currently on tour, and we were able to catch their sold out show in the Washington DC area. The mid-size two-level venue, The Fillmore Silver Spring in Silver Spring, Maryland, showcases vintage art and ornate decor on the walls, and sparkling chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Security was tight and quick to escort out anyone acting inappropriately, but that didn’t stop crowd surfers and fans rocking out. The Offspring opened up with their 2008 hit song “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” and had the whole place singing the lyrics, jumping, and throwing the horns. Their one hour and thirty minute set included smash hits like, ”Come Out and Play”, “I Want You Bad” as featured in the popular movie American Pie 2, “Why Don’t You Get a Job?”, and “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)”. The band closed with a two song encore “Americana” and “Self Esteem”. Stay tuned for our coverage of The Offspring’s set at Rock Allegiance in Chester, PA.
