Lots of kids below the 21 bar complain that they can’t see their favorite bands on stage. The Deadites, an Electro-shock group hailing from a place called Necronomicon [a place that is eerily similar to Worcester], are constantly asked to draw up their comic book-like show for an all-ages group. Finally, they’ve obliged. Friday, the Deadites slip into their tights and masks to join The Average White Boys (who recently welcomed DJ Shame into their fold), Livesexact and Zero Times Infinity at The Palladium. “The Deadites are tremendous — a shake your ass ‘til the cows come home, cymbal on fire, raw sexuality, crowd sing-along, didn’t want it to end, good time,” said rabid fan Gabe Rollins. The all-ages show (with alcohol available to those who are legal) starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are $8.

In celebration of this show, The Deadites have issued their “Top 13 CDs to fight the forces of evil by”
