Got Beat Up

Nah, i never got beat up at a Weston show, but it was the title of a great record they made. I am not sure if i attended this show, but i think thats because Weston played Long Island many many times. Also because of that i thought they where from Long Island, but ended up being from originally Bethlehem, PA.
Either way they where always fun to see live and seemed to be a bunch of nice guys. Just looking at this flyer makes me wish for the days of 6 dollar shows like a cranky old man on the porch. Awesome dude on the flyer with his diving gear or whatever.

Sad to see them go

So most of the clubs and venues from the 90's are gone. One of which is Coney Island High on the northern side of St Marks between 3rd and 2nd ave (NYC). Saw numerous shows there and most of which where awesome. The flyer below is one of which they would issue about every month. This one has some super cool shows from way back, many of which i regret not attending.
Coney's has now become i think a thai restaurant and condos. Darn shame since it was always a loud cramp spaced filled to the brim with crazy fans for whatever show of the day. I recall seeing Liftime for the first time, opening for a band called Plow United. Also an amazing record release party for the Bouncing Souls's Maniacal Laughter. The last one off the top of my head was a two day Nofx show with the Lunachicks and Snuff. One of my grander nights out at a club with all my friends from high school. Please send in any other Coney Island High flyers like this one if you happen to have them.

Another Flyer For All

So this is a weird one, because i don't remember the headliner at all. I was always a big fan of Stillsuit, wish they had more than one EP to listen to though. I may post more today if i get around to scanning more flyers.

Ah Ska...

Ok so just to keep up with postings here is a flyer from Massachusetts For a ska show. One band listed was an awesome ska/metal band called Thumper, from Connecticut. Matter a fact i still have their album, i may have to rip that to my Ipod. Think i saw them once at the wetlands, but my memory is a bit hazy. Besides plenty of Hardcore shows the Wetlands was a big home for the 90's Ska scene. Damn shame they closed and made condo's there. Anyways here it is hope you enjoy it, i will post more ska flyers when i get a chance.

Love That PWAC

Hey everyone

Today I decided to post a cool flyer from the hey day of the PWAC on long Island. It was also later known as the Common Ground and very well known in the Tri-state area. If it wasn't for the people who ran that place i would seen 80% less shows back in high school. The weekdays had cool local band shows followed up by big touring bands on the weekend. It was a damn shame they got closed down, but i guess great things must always come to an end.
