So this week I decided to posted this wetlands advert from a zine that I cut down from my walls. The Wetlands which I have posted about before was a great venue. It did not have a great sound system or a good stage set up, but it had a great vibe to the place much like a favorite dive bar.
I attended maybe 2 shows on the advert the first I may have gone to was the bouncing souls show, but I definitely attended the Voodoo Glow Skulls. In high school I was part of the radio station, I know nerd! It did however help me interview bands and see tons of shows. This show in particular was cool I ended up going in early and interview all the Glow Skulls during they’re Firme tour. Brought a friend with me who was very excited to share a very large joint with the band as we did the interview in the basement of the wetlands.
The show was great, saw a band called Schlong who at that time had just releases a punk rock cover version of the musical West Side Story. Next up was the Blue Meanies who just had this great evil ska sound. The Voodoo Glow Skulls had a huge crowd since they had not played New York all that much and they’re record was getting pretty big. It was a very high energy set and a real red letter day.
Arrivederci
