Now that's funny! I guess it depends on your version of 'punk' but might I suggest taking in a show at the Viking Dojo, they have awesome 'punk' shows.

The Fish and Game in club also has some gnarly 'punk' shows. This one looks pretty awesome:

The 'harder' punk bands are in the Fort too.

Tri-State Killing Spree comes to mind as does the Lurking Corpses.

I listened to your demo, it's pretty raw. You guys sound young, how old are y'alls?

me and the drummer are 18 and the two guitarists are 17....its kinda hard to find shows when you cant play bars....we havent had one yet...we are just now getting to the point where we have enough songs for a set.....we have 4 that are really nice(or at least we think so) and have two or more in the writing process now

There are some all-age venues in town:

Sunset Hall - www.summitmusicgroup.com

the Viking Dojo

Fish & Game lodge (in Churbusco)

Go Forth Christian Youth Ministry - http://www.myspace.com/goforthcym

I'm sure there's some I'm missing, but this is off the top of my head.

There are some bars/clubs that will allow underaged bands on a bill if you setup...sound check...play and then immediately tear down and leave.
I guess there is some clause that the band are technically employed by the bar/club so they do not fall under the law entirely.
Just contact as many bars as possible, tell them your age situation, state your objective, and see what happens.
The worst they can say is no thanks...and you still wouldn't be any worse off than you are now.

Could book you at a punkrocknight.com show here in ft wayne ,but you all need to be 18 to play a bar here in Indiana. I have 2 or 3 shows a month for punkrocknight.com here
