The Prodigy 5/23 at Congress Theater

The Effigies and Life Sentence 5/16 at Reggies
It was an old school punk weekend last week as I went to two shows in two nights.

MDC 5/1 at Reggie’s
After a winter-long show drought I started making up for lost time by going to my second show in as many days last week. This time it was for the classic hardcore band MDC. I saw them play here a few years ago and thought they were still quite good so I was looking forward [...]
