FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOS ANGELES, CA. (TUESDAY APRIL 21, 2026) – Steve Berlin and the Punk Rock Museum announced today that the punk rock pioneer of bands such as Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs, Los Lobos, The Blasters & The Flesh Eaters, will give a guided tour of the Las Vegas Museum on Friday June 5, Saturday June 6 and Sunday June 7. Fans can purchase tickets here for all three days here.

Fans of Steve Berlin can tour the museum, which just celebrated its third anniversary, and interact with their guide and discuss everything from the recently reissued album from Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs’ Pigus Drunkus Maximus as well as his other bands and his live dates and session work with bands like R.E.M, Neko Case, The Go-Go’s and Faith No More among others. The Punk Rock Museum houses the world’s most expansive, inclusive, and intimate display of artifacts, fliers, photos, clothing, instruments, handwritten lyrics, artwork, and just about everything else donated by the people and bands who were there.

Beloved by celebs and musicians, Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs fans included everyone from incomparable musicians like Tom Waits and David Lee Roth but also bands like X and The Blasters as well as musicians like Maria Mckee and Steve Wynn (who released the original LP on his Down There Records). Out of print for nearly 40 years, this new reissue of Pigus Drunkus Maximus has been remastered, features a new 16-page booklet of archival photos from noted photographer Gary Leonard, gig flyers and new liner notes from veteran Grammy-nominated L.A. scribe Chris Morris.

Press and fan interest for the Top Jimmy reissues has been incredibly strong. The January 2026 reissue has garnered press in print, online, radio and podcast outlets as diverse as Mojo, the Watt from Pedro Show, Downbeat, Record Collector, RnR, Goldmine, Ugly Things, Record Store Day Podcast, The Vinyl District, All Day Vinyl podcast, New York Hardcore Podcast, Blow Up (Italy), Retrofuturista (Spain) and many more. This lovingly restored reissue of Pigus Drunkus Maximus will go a long way to restoring the band’s rightful place in L.A. music history as one of the greatest bands this city ever produced.
