Watch This Weekend’s KROQ Acoustic Christmas Show Live!

L.A.'s KROQ 106.7 FM is America's biggest alternative rock radio station, and so for the past 22 (TWENTY-TWO!) years, it has pulled in some of the coolest artists for its annual KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas holiday revue. What started humbly in 1990 as an unplugged Xmas show with Dramarama, Chris Isaak, the Posies, and (2011 returning act) Social Distortion has since expanded in to a two-night, "almost" acoustic, full-on rock extravaganza, and one of the Los Angeles concert events of the year. And this year's lineup may be one of the best yet!
