Also, whoever the Toasters have running their merch table on this tour is an rear end in a top hat. If you got within three feet of the table, he'd throw you back into the circle But the room was small enough that you were never more than two feet away at that point in the circle. Guy was a loving dick.

I was at the Aquabats show as well with two bandmates of mine. A really great experience overall. I haven't seen the Suburban Legends in a few years, so it nice to see they still have it (although their choreography was less this time). I was ambivalent about Tragedy, we stayed by the bar for that set and finished our drinks. But when the Aquabats were on, it was amazing. It was my first time being able to see them and it was worth every second. Endless dancing and singing and laughing. It's been a while since I've been to a bigger venue as well, and boy does it make you feel old when you look around and see that a number of kids there weren't even born when the Aquabats were formed. Anyone going to the Pilfers on Sunday? I was wavering until I saw BTMI will be there, that's enough to push me off the fence.

I just got back from the show in Philly, and it was phenomenal. Go. The Pilfers even played two new songs, so they might be sticking around for awhile  BTMI and Sonic Boom Six both put on great shows too, and Last Martyrs brought it as always. However, Emotron was pretty much the worst excuse for an opener I've ever seen. And I'll just say that I definitely saw more (much more) than I needed to see.

Dude, The Emotron is awesome. Did you know he toured out to Alaska and worked at a fish cannery or some poo poo like that for a month? It's always good to have some weird rear end poo poo just for the sake of weirdness.

Guys...I have made a grievous error. Maybe it was just because I tried listening to them at the wrong time in my life but...I actually find myself enjoying the Aquabats. How have I lived this long without them?

A bit of news I just discovered which I thought was awesome: Remember the RBF album that's scheduled to come out in January and be all cover songs? One of the songs they're covering? VERONICA SAWYER BY EDNA'S GOLDFISH. Holy gently caress, I can't wait to hear this. e: Track listing: quote:1. "Nothin' But a Good Time" (Poison) I'm also pretty excited for the Poison songs and Won't Back Down. Monkey Man isn't bad either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSuEMJ_48YE Sandwolf posted:When I saw them at Skanksgiving they didn't play a single ASOB song and I doubt they ever will again.

I was however under the impression that there was gonna a DVD made up from the reunion shows, which I've not heard about since the actual reunion shows so, who knows. dnz fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Nov 23, 2008 |

If any of you play Audiosurf on Steam, they're now playing an Italian ska punk group called Talco on Audiosurf Radio. They're worth a listen at least.

Quick question, I need some help in hating on a band; Mysterious Aftertaste might know this answer. I saw Streetlight last time they played at Starland Ballroom and one of their openers was this atrocious ska band that had choreographed dance moves and poo poo. What was the name of the band?

So last night's Streetlight show in Exeter was the best I have ever been to. Dan Potthast opened and was great fun, I got to talk with him after the show and he's a really nice guy. Random Hand were good too. The room the show was in was so loving tiny I was a foot away from Kalnoky the entire set and got to hand him his acoustic guitar.  I also finally got to hear Linoleum and It's a Wonderful Life live, which were well worth the wait. Aaaand afterwards I got hugs (and a photo!) with him and got to tell him thanks for everything. He was amazingly kind. It was awesome.

I saw the Suburban Legends with the Aquabats about two weeks ago. I had low expectations going in from their recent stuff, but was really surprised and they played a great set. But really, no matter what happens to them, I'll always love their show just for the first time I saw them. It was at a Get Out The Vote outdoor concert in Jersey many years ago. They started their set but the power cut out, so while it was being fixed, they came and played duck, duck, goose with the whole crowd. Yes, I'm biased because I got to chase Tim Maurer around the circle, but still, you can dance to them, and that's all I care about.

Last night I went to a concert with Fishbone headlining. Heavy Mojo and Native of the New Dawn were there as well opening. The crowd started off being really small but Native's really rocked out anyways and they sounded great. Heavy Mojo had so much energy and the crowd was really starting to pick up. Once Fishbone got up there though, the crowd went nuts until 2AM and there was a decent pit going on with everyone skanking. Overall a really awesome concert, if anyone gets the chance to see them I would highly suggest it.
