Vans Warped Tour 8/2/08 part two
After Mayday Parade, I walked clear across the venue to the Vans Highway 1 stage to actually see a band I had heard of before! Street Dogs Street Dogs Street Dogs Street Dogs The Street Dogs were the reason for my lengthy walk. They had a pretty huge crowd waiting to see them play and [...]
Riot Fest 2005 day two
Saturday saw the second and final day of Riot Fest 2005. There was an obscene number of bands playing that day, something around 20 and the show was supposed to start around noon! Needless to say the thought of sitting through ten bands we either never heard of and/or didn’t care about didn’t appeal to [...]
Milemarker 10/22/05 at Empty Bottle
Last night saw the long awaited return of Milemarker to the Empty Bottle. The last time I saw them it was the summer of 2003 at some loft in Wicker Park, and the band imploded that night, resulting in their breakup and two year hiatus before reuniting in a new and altered lineup. When I [...]
MDC 9/23/05 at Bottom Lounge
Last night, Seňor Citizen and I went to see MDC at the Bottom Lounge. I never got to see them “back in the day” so I wanted to see what it was I missed and since it was the original lineup, I figured it was worth checking out. The show started really early too, 630pm [...]
The Vibrators – 9/18 at Bottom Lounge
Last night my friend, Lewdd, and I went to the about to be defunct Bottom Lounge to see The Vibrators play. This is the “Knox’s 60th birthday tour”. 60?! Holy smokes we’re all getting old. I’ll admit to the band going mostly under my radar for my punk rock youth, it really wasn’t until I [...]
Curl Up And Die 8/31/05 at Hang Out’s
Last night I made the long trek up to Wheeling to complete the Curl Up and Die trifecta. It wasn’t nearly as long as the drive to DeKalb so that was cool with me and since it was a late show, there was no traffic getting there so I made great time traveling up north. [...]
Since By Man 8/13/05 at Bottom Lounge
Last night I went to see Since By Man play at the Bottom Lounge. I ended up having to go by myself because no one I knew either could, or wanted to, go with, not even for free! Remind me to kill all of my friends seeing as no one stepped up to the plate [...]
