Living in the meantime

Howdy

Just a quick post today of an old Coney Island High monthly flyer. It features a Vandals / Strung Out show, Spacehog, and a nice NYHC benefit. Spacehog recently seems to popping up again on the radio. the song from the early 90's "in the meantime" also made it on to Guitar Hero 5 and by the way is really fun to sing. As for NYHC show, i need to find my sheer terror record and warzone was amazing live, thank i saw them once at Cbgb's.

The Portland trip

Went to Portland to visit a friend I went to shows all the time with in NYC.

Ended up at a murder by death show and got introduced to an opening band called the builders and the butchers. Nothing better than seeing a band on they're home turf. They really have an interesting dark folkie sound and know how to get a crowd going.

Good times

California dreamin'

So here are some flyers left over from my days working in California this year. I Got to see Joe Cape of Lagwagon, drag the river and Chris Shiflet of foo fighters. It was a solid show Chris played a lot of covers one was a Johnny Cash tune. Drag the river where new to me, but very entertaining. Joey cape was right a home in Slo. The whole night the crowd was shouting requests. I never thought I would see lagwagon - violins played on a mandlin. Also they ended with a cover of Nofx's " linoleum ".







In Santa Barbara I saw far first strech of a reunion tour. The show was great and they are super solid live. Johan is still a very powerful singer who makes the crowd feel apart of every song played.

Good day sir

Its been a long time

Well if your out there i am sorry for slacking on posting. I am gonna try to post at least once a month if not more. Back in march i had someone contact me about some ska releated stuff, so i figured i would post some related flyers.

Skavoovie and the Epitones is one of the best ska bands i have ever seen live. They played a 10 minute version of they're batman theme cover. During which all 10 members in the band did a solo which was a sight to see.

enjoy

New Location, some good old Ska

Howdy

Well I have not posted in awhile, but for good reason. Business has brought me out west to California and has kept me busy. I live a good distance from L.A., but i have made 2 trips so far both resulting in a good show. This last trip was interesting I got to see Hepcat play the El Ray. They have not played live for 2 years and i have not seen them since a warped tour long ago.
I had a friend ditch out last minute on the show and I happened to have an extra ticket. Ended up thru selling the extra meeting some new people with similar musical tastes and a hunger for a good show. Hepcat slayed the stage with they're unmistakable motown-esqe Ska groove. It was one hell of a solid Saturday night and I look forward to the next show that comes my way. Below is a Flyer they handed out while i was leaving.

Over and Out
