Warped phone

Howdy

Well posting just has not been on my mind unfortunately. As of late shows have crept back into my mind. Although I have been missing out on some great LA shows. Its the damn lonely traffic keeping me Lazy.
Below are two photos of a pay phone warped tour 2011 ad. Why advertise on a pay phone in la where nobody walks? Well this old phone happens to be next to pink's hotdog stand.
Now even though warped has become more corporate over the years, I still think it serves as a great way to spend the day in music and mayhem. Don't know half the bands, but I can learn quick from various mp3 stores on the web.

All for now

Breathe in, Exhale

Howdy Ho

So i been slacking again, so i figured i would jump on and post a flyer.

Below is a flyer to a neat concert I wish attended. Jimmy Eat world, At the Drive In, and Hot Rod Circuit would of been a killer line up. Don't think i have ever seen Jim Eat World, but At the drive in and Hot Rod Circuit's music was a breath of fresh air back then.

Seeing At the Drive In open live at Tramps in NYC was one of those moments where you hear a sound and find your self rushing to the merch booth once they wrap they're set. If you have never heard the Album " In/casino/out " I highly recommend it.

I recently move out to the west coast and found myself re-discovering Hod Rod Circuit's "If I Knew Now What I Knew Then ". Its a solid listen through and a great sing-a-long in traffic album.

all for now

KrazyFest was the best!

Howdy ho

It's been a bit and i have been delaying this post for awhile. Krazyfest in Louisville Kentucky was under rated and to my knowledge not well known. I had two great weekend road trips with friends out to Kentucky. A three day long weekend of amazing music in the sun. I remember boy sets fire being god damn amazing at this show. Dillinger escape plan's rodie blew fire off a lite torch and stage dove with the flame still going.

Hope to find the 2000 poster for the krazyfest some day.

Take care

I can’t stand being home, but I can’t stand being gone

Well it's been a bit again, but I wanted to post this flyer. looks like I saw my last NYC as a local. I am packing my stuff and
Moving west. I saw Tim Barry last week and he has a lot of passion in his solo performaces. Also a good portion of his songs involve traveling so it's motivational for me. Topped it off by running into some old show buddies.

On the flyer I missed skinnerbox / scofflaws reunion show. Would of been nice to see them play again.

It's been real NY

To the east!

Frank Turner is one of my top
new artists of the last year or so. If you have not seen him live you have not gotten the full effect of his musical talent. I recently missed him play New York city, but I figured I would post this flyer.

The Party Boat is Here

Happy New Year

Well I slacked and did not post once again, no excuse for it. Figured I would start off 2010 with a beat up old flyer of a cool show i missed. Actually this flyer has a bunch of cool shows, but the one i would of enjoyed was Clutch and Orange 9mm. Thinking about it now at the time of this flyer i would of gone to 5 of these shows. I did not because i was a kid with very little money and Curfew. Now that i am older its all a fading fun memory of nostalgia.

I have seen clutch to many times to recount and plan on seeing them many more. Thankfully I saw Orange 9mm At least twice, once at the limelight and once at the first warped tour.

all great shows with many great thoughts

watch your self fly

p.s. This seems to be stuck in Italic, oops

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.

ohoooohoooooooohooooooooooh

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

Big Bands O-Plenty

goodbye

Who is, this is? Wetlands!

Ohh Wetlands we miss you….


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

Pull the plug, Pull the plug....

Word up

This is quickie, Neglect and Vod ruled long island Hardcore with a big hate hammer. Both great examples of late 90's Hardcore. I have spoken previous about silent majority and was a big fan.

I listened to the VOD still ep on a commute home. It is still as good as the first time i heard those songs on a crappy demo tape i bought at the PWAC.

Goodbye to You

Howdy

I know i've been slacking with the postings, but work has been keeping me busy. The below flyer is a show at Deja one. I spent my prom night at the first Deja show, which was a big ska show to me at the time. Yet my memory is bad and i can't remember the Headliner. I was semi friends with the shows bookie and was excited to see the start of a new club. Also no date to the prom :( .

Now this flyer is no Ska show, its a show for an awesome band called Kiss it Goodbye. It was one of the first bands i knew that took hardcore metal and changed it. What it became was a super charged violent metal sound mixed with an electrical machine vibe. I dug them big time, to bad i missed this show.

see you in the pit

Publish Post

Fu + gazi = great

Hey All

So i got a bunch of new flyers from a friend. I figured posting this one would be best. Never had the pleasure of seeing Fugazi live , but I do remember having the opportunity and passing it up. I did however see one of they're live videos that a friend watched on a weekly basis in college.
Maybe some day down the road they may get back together and tour, most likely not. So below is yet another Flyer from the all mighty Pwac years.

Take care

All the small Flyers

Its been awhile, but works been keeping me busy. So here is a post showing 2 of the small card flyers that get passed out at shows or lay about in local music shops. I really dig the sister machine gun art on the first one.

stay cool

Torc59

Can't wait for the next show

Hey all

Just saw this youtube video of an upcoming Avail documentry figured i should post it with a flyer. its only half a one, but i love seeing avail so much i wanted to share it anyway. If the other half was there i am pretty sure it would show it was from a PWAC show in long island. Not sure if any band every really played like long islands own Warped Weeble Woobles. I do have a video of this show, i guess i should post it some time down the road. I never see Avail play FCA much anymore, but when they played it that day it was intense.

goodbye to you
