The Heats give their first public performance in the gymnasium of Sequim High School. Less than two years later, the power-pop foursome—Kenny Deans, Keith Lilly, Steve Pearson, and Don Short—was tearing up the local club scene, opening for The Knack and Heart, with their single “I Don’t Like Your Face” climbing the Billboard charts. By New Year’s Eve 1983, The Heats called it quits, playing their final show at Belltown’s legendary Astor Park. But the spark never really went out. In fall 2026, Kenny, Keith, and Steve—joined by guitarist Jon Memolo—cranked it back up for this high-octane concert at Tacoma’s Spanish Ballroom.

In his memoir, "Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young: A Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground," he investigates the forces that transformed his parents from idealistic young activists into some of America’s most notorious radicals—and the consequences their choices had for their children. Dohrn joins Book Lust host Nancy Pearl to discuss the difficult family conversations behind the book, the line between resistance and violence, and the unsettling parallels he sees between the political upheaval of the 1960s and today.
