Vocals are suxxx. Back on topic, I'm still missing La Quiete and Phoenix Bodies by being in Europe and missing Cry Me A River Fest by being in England at the time.

But I did make friends with these guys last week: http://www.myspace.com/bodyguardnv

If you're going to be in Europe at the right time, then https://www.myspace.com/trashfest12 is your friend.

I'm jealous.. BUT this summer I'm following Annihilation Time's west coast tour dates. Def. jealous of Skitkids though, I need to get the new lp. Last time they were in the US we had a stagedive olympics with some awesome blind double stack backflips.

You needn't have been jealous. Annihilation Time didn't make it into the country. Got turned back at customs.

Would you mind me asking what the motivation for going straight edge is? As an enthusiastic drug addict I find it somewhat baffling, especially making a lifestyle out of it.

This isn't an attempt to be a douchebg, I just don't really get it.

Used to drink, had a New Years Eve I could remember. Said the proverbial "I'm never drinking again..." and it kind of stuck. I don't really say I'm 'edge' in terms of anything other than using it as a shorthand for not drinking/smoking/doing drugs. Besides which, the entire xNamex thing just seems to be setting yourself up to fail.

I'm not a good drunk, so I don't drink. Cigarettes are just dumb, and drugs don't really appeal. Fair play to you if you can do stuff like that and have fun, it's just not for me.

Being honest, I prefer seeing more arguments about stuff like this rather than just:
"I like band X."
"I disagree, I prefer band Y."
over and over again.

I'm kicking around the idea of a black arm band with the germs circle. Doubt I'll do that when I have other stuff to do that isn't band related though.

That sounds like a drat good idea. I've not got any tatts yet, but I've paid for my first one already, just need to figure out when I'm getting it done. It's going to be seven stars (not nautical stars) - one on each shoulder, three across the belt line on my back, back of left knee and back of right ankle. So it's the Orion constellation.

Who actually puts on gigs anyhow?

My uni town has no scene to my knowledge and I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. I'm contemplating a big order on Bridge9, and I've heard bad things about their international p&p rates (UK goon).

My poor wallet.

Where're you going to Uni then?

Got back from Trashfest yesterday. Ow. Ow. Ow.

Northampton. Close to London I know, but fuel is too much and I work funny shifts. Closest thing to a show I have seen here is that Stout were going to play, but cancelled.

It is fairly central though and I always hear about bands needing a date in the midlands between shows up north and down south, so I might start putting shows on (probs this winter is the earliest I can do it).

Ah, poo poo. Best I can do is say that Crash The Pose and Ray Reardon Youth played in Kettering once? There used to be some stuff going on in Leamington Spa, but I lost touch a bit with what's going on there. Also, BrainDead and Hangover Heartattack are both Leicester based, so they might be worth asking if there's anything still going on at the Shed (think that's what the venue was called).

I'm bored. What do people on here do in their local area?

I'm involved in putting on gigs at a community centre - got into a good relationship with the committee and the local council, and we've got to the stage where we've got a backline that was funded by them, non-commercial hire rates, and access to the sports hall showers (which is very handy with touring bands). Book it either for shows I'm doing, or let other people book it through me so that it's easier.

I'm not looking for the obvious like The Donnas (ugh), Sleater-Kinney, or poo poo like that. As for non-standard instruments, I'm talking about things like how The Adicts have a violinist and X Ray Spex has a sax player. tia

Local wise, I'd suggest The Sceptres, but I think they've taken the MP3s down because their re-doing them for the 7". So that's less than helpful of them. Members of lovely Limits, Abandon Ship and stuff. Bryony's got a good voice on her.

Ceremony, Paint it Black, Let Down, etc.

...because I said anything about lovely chugchug breakdowns.

I used to be all for faster hardcore. Metalcore and bands with stupid breakdowns were getting old. Now EVERYONE is playing, or trying to play, fast hardcore that all sounds the same. Maybe I just don't like hardcore anymore.

Thrashy fast hardcore is more fun at times. Around our way it seems to be going more towards the power pop end of the scale. It's weird how different areas do seem to have very fixed musical styles.

I heard about this. Completely hosed up. Gah, I hate punk more and more everyday thanks to poo poo like this. To paraphrase Ulcer, "Is being a piece of poo poo your idea of being a punk?".

Punks and Punx - there's a difference that's key over here. Punks are the lefty radical types, punx are the ones who think that smashing poo poo and claiming to be homeless is the way forward.

What actually happened with this stabbing?

Where is this, and who's playing?

SubtleDagger posted:

DIY is not necessarily punk, but I'd say most of those bands are probably either hardcore, metalcore or emo/screamo.

I know all the UK bands I've seen playing would come under the general banner of 'punk'.

Its the party element to Summerfector 2, the fest I posted in Portland. Mostly involves a lot of drinking I think. The best part about the Summerfector flyer is at the bottom it says "leave your dogs at home," referring to the american phenomenon of lovely awful crusty traveler kids abusing dogs to garnish sympathy, so they can get more change when begging.

Dammit, I was hoping it was something fun in Richmond. Looks like I'll be near Allentown at the end of August/start of September visiting folks.

But yes, crusty traveller scumbags. Not really met any, but hate them anyway for getting the R5 fest shut down while I was over and had a ticket for Sunday. That was very annoying.

Obviously, you're all going to see the Atom and His Package reunion, but please, go and see Mose Giganticus, and another band, the Emotron. They are my friends' bands, and they're both absolutely crazy synth punk bands (the Emotron lights his weiner on fire at the end of every show).

They just did a tour to Alaska and back purely on waste vegetable oil and they need your support!

Thanks guys. Tell them Jeff in Ohio said Hi!

Wait, what, Atom reunion? Why the gently caress didn't I know about this? Why don't I have enough money to go to Florida? Bastards. Bastards. Bastards.

I just put some records up on ebay for the singer of Government Warning. Spend lots of money on them so he can afford to go to Europe. It's some test presses and other limited stuff that doesn't come up very often.

Anyhow, not read this thread for a while, but I saw Government Warning in Brighton on Saturday. Finished off with a cover of 5 To 10. I thought some people in here may appreciate how fun that was.

Uh oh now ChaosNonMusica is going to write a letter to MRR!

I'm really stoked that they got to play that show. There was potentially going to be an issue with Kenny getting into the UK but I'm glad it worked out. How was Government Warning? How sweet was Violent Arrest? Those dudes rip so hard and I'm jealous that you got to see their first show.

Violent Arrest had to pull out because of a family illness, so no need to feel jealous. GW were really loving good. Was pretty knackered, so I was appreciating from the back.

Also, what's the letter writing ref?
