515 Crew

got tickets for friday. got em before they announced the sat show. i would love to see tenement, but jetty boys are terrible terrible terrible. Also saw Ben Weasel's band play almost a couple years ago now play the entire My Brain Hurts album plus some stuff off Bark Like a Dog, Boogada, etc. It was...

Did Ouchita Trail in Oklahoma and Arkansas about a month and a half ago. Too much rain for any good pictures. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/skunksareholy/FieldSeason09241.jpg RMNP this last week http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/skunksareholy/RockyMountainNP057.jpg http://i60.photobucket...

Loess is basically a type of soil formed from winds blowing fine grained silt. Its a pretty unique area in that it was formed only in that part of western iowa and in china. There are some pretty big sections of the Loess hills, I think in total of like 10,000 plus acres. Its made up a lot of native...

I love those Ill Repute and Statues records.

If anyone wants gallons upon gallons of formalin (37% formaldehyde, 13% methanol and 50% water) I can get some for wicked cheap. I use a bunch of this stuff to preserve specimens and take all sorts of precautions when using it. The fact anyone would even have the idea to dip a cigarette in the stuff...

I saw D4 at Eclipse records last year the day after their 4th of July show. Place was pretty small, sound was kinda bad, and it wasnt that packed at all. Paddy had one of the greatest rants ever about the history of the bass guitar. Id love to go but work is a bear so I doubt ill make it, and I saw ...

Anyone know anything about it?
Says they are playing July 18th in Iowa City.

they wanted me to do this show, but I dont have time. i sent it to some dudes i know in cedar falls to do it, but i guess they found something different?

DNR

what kind of work do you do, josh? i think i remember you posting something about it on the mediafirebomb board. looks pretty chill. Survey public lands in Iowa to see what sort of animals inhabit certain habitat types. I do bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, butterfly, dragonfly, mussel, fish, etc....

cult ritual - self titled lp, tour edition suck my dick for it -joe. This LP is fucking unreal. Even though this is some sort of hype band the record is still heavy as fuck, raw and totally decimates any other current hardcore record. I dont sweat too much hardcore these days, but this record reall...

Anyone else going.
Triple Rock in Minneapolis

w/ Dear Landlord, Off With Their Heads, The Arrivals.
This could be my third year in a row attending. Always a good time. Anyone wanna carpool?

Done a couple of fun little trips this year. Late Feb hiked a good portion of the Ozark Highland trail. Not a very photogenic time of year. http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt92/smalleraperture/DSC_0428.jpg Specifically looking for salamanders, camp, and hike. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27...

seen em a number of times and they always put on a good show of drunken/drug fueled antics. good tunes too.

And sticking with the Jawbreaker talk, anyone else stoked for Thorns of Life? The couple of live sets I checked out sounded like it should be pretty good stuff.

Ive got that RVIVR 7". If i wasnt so lazy id upload it.

I much prefer Erica and Matts other band prior to this, Hooky. I got that to upload as well. Check it http://www.myspace.com/hookycutsclass

servo are you going to put 4 local bands on this show as well?

i dig that gateway district 7" but live i think they are kinda boring.

Is Condominium also playing this?

Terrible Twos also playing

Maybe Cam will post what he recently bought then you can hate life even more for being broke.

What is this a pop punk thread? Ill be seeing the Brokedowns on Saturday w/ D4, Psyched to Die and Deep Sleep. Killer show. Also Darrin is that Paintbox 7" new. I have never heard it. I sweat those Paintbox LP's pretty hard. A few years ago I got way into a lot of that Burning Spirits type stuf...

I heard you guys were really upping the punx at this show. It sounded like the whole night was ridiculous. Im totally jealous. Okay so... I just got back from a Sioux City Pete and the Beggars show in downtown Los Angeles and they were fucking jaw dropping. Haters hatin' on them from last time they ...

ill fix the flyer. it was an oversight.

It just takes a little initiative. You tell the bands to be there at least a half hour before you want to start the show, tell em what time you want them to play and make it happen. If they dont want to abide, fuck em, they dont have to play. Plus, I heard this is Servo's going away show and he want...

Some of the dudes in Psyched to Die were in some pretty well known pop punk groups, but this band sounds much more like early 80's hardcore, especially Flag and Deep Wound, but still retain some of those hooks the dudes write so well.

Deep Sleep - Manic Euphoria
http://www.mediafire.com/?thjmoanmnqy

Think an angry 80's west coast punk rock/hardcore band with lots of Descendents/Adolescents thrown in.

Psyched to Die and Deep Sleep also want to play this day. Make it happen?

Psyched to Die - 4 song demo
http://www.mediafire.com/?znjg4bt4neh

Ill try upping some Deep Sleep stuff as well.

Whats your email. Ill have them get in touch with you.

A couple bands that are totally radical and would be worthwhile to come through the area are looking for a show march 12. Psyched To Die http://www.myspace.com/psychedtodie Pop punk super group playing hardcore very similar to Deep Wound and Black Flag. Features current/ex members of The Ergs!, For ...
