Ferris Bueller & the city of Chicago can eat their hearts out, because speed metal punks MUNICIPAL WASTE have teamed up with VANS and the city of Los Angeles for a parade that’d make you ditch school, work, and yeah, even that follow-up appointment with your orthopedic surgeon!

MUNICIPAL WASTE drummer Dave Witte shares why this opportunity was a win-win situation: 

“I am thrilled to be a part of The Vans Parade as it not only features some of the most talented skaters and BMX people going - which I have the utmost respect for, growing up a BMX rider pre-drumming – but I've also worn slip-on VANS while drumming for about 20 years. For me, they are the ultimate drumming shoe. Viva VANS!”

Kurt Soto, who handles Music and Entertainment Relations for VANS, adds:

“We’ve been fans of MUNICIPAL WASTE for several years now and their energetic style of thrash metal laid down the perfect soundtrack to the mayhem unleashed when VANS staged an ‘Off The Wall’ parade with several hundred of our closest friends.”
