Make that double.

Two groups reliably sell out IMMEDIATELY around here (and probably everywhere). Social D, and Cock Sparrer.

 

[Vegetarisk]

Huh?

 

[Qhrumphf]

Whoa shi*** you're local and there's still tickets. Baltimore is f***ing worth it. Hell yeah.

Are you going to the Baltimore show or the Philly show? Missed them in Philly last year cause tickets sold out in like a day. Than they added a second show at the door the day of the show.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I'm broke as f*** right now but assuming tickets are still available in the AM when my wife is awake (who isn't broke as f*** and likes em too) probably the Baltimore show.

Local Flavor

I know this is an old post, but I saw No Means No in Rapid City, SD many years ago when all the EMO kids still wanted to look like Buddy Holly. they would always crowd right in front where the pit was going on and pitch a fit because someone bumped them. one of them tried that crap on me. "Why are you trying to ruin the show for me?!?" it was a mild circle pit so when I come around again, I ran full force and shouldered the cry baby. he ran off crying to the bathroom with 3 or 4 friends in tow. "Thanks for ruining the show!" you're welcome, sissy pants!

 

[Vegetarisk]

Yeah I had to wait till I got paid this Friday and was convinced they'd be sold out, but not yet!

I never understand why people who stand right in front of the stage get upset about that stuff. I understand if you don't want to get in the pit but you will get bumped into up front. I've been lucky enough to see Youth Brigade, The Cockney Rejects, TSOL, Black Flag, and The Adicts over the last year or so.

I ain't been to a show in almost a decade.

edit: but I did fall asleep (not pass out) at Slayer about 9 years ago!

 

[Qhrumphf]

Hasn't been an issue lately since I don't go to many shows any more but back in the day, some feuds just got taken out in the pit. If I was standing on the sidelines and some dude spin kicked me in the face (it happened) I'd dropkick the piece of crap in the knee later on during the show and then kick him a few times while he was down. No whining. Just street justice.

If you don't want to get roughed up just stay at the f***ing bar.

 

[Vegetarisk]

I just remembered a friend of mine inviting his then girlfriend to her first punk show which ended up being MDC and the Subhumans. Her reaction to the crowd was priceless!

That sounds about right hahahahaha

Ahhahaha...my wife and her girlfriends will do that some times. I saw no means no in phoenix 15 years ago and it was one of the best pits Ive ever seen. I still enjoy a good murphys law show though. Those kids know how to have a good time and theres nothing better than dancing around and getting sprayed with tons of beer. Haha...wonder what that emo kid would have done if you shook up a can of cheap beer and opened it in his face?

Seeing Cock Sparrer at the end of November...

I saw them in June at Amnesia Rockfest in Quebec. Social D was there too. You need to get up to Quebec next June.

Cock Sparrer was the last band to play. These guys are in their sixties and are still pulling it off. They blew everyone else out of the water. They were fantastic.

They were set to play for an hour and ended up doing close to 2 hours.

My goal is to see them again at Punk Rock Bowling in LV this Spring.

 

[Vegetarisk]

The lineup for Amnesia Rockfest looked awesome, too bad it was thousands of miles away. My friend saw Cock Sparrer in Philadelphia last year and said it was nuts. Glad to hear it'll be a good show.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I've seen The Business come through a few times, and Cockney Rejects and Sham 69 each once. Granted the first two are a touch younger, but Sham 69 was old and fat and still put on a hell of a show (better than the godawful acts they had opening for them). I still haven't been able to see Cock Sparrer. I asked my wife to buy tickets. She muttered something about The Casualties sucking (which I completely agree with) and then that was the last of it. So I don't know if she did.

True story.

I saw the Business play with the Nekromantix a long time ago (2002?) and it was pretty good. I've seen the a few times afterwards but it was unremarkable. I actually ran into Mickey Fitz randomly in Richmond once. My friends band was playing a bar on the same block as the Business were playing another club, I had no idea and was quite surprised to see him walk by in the alley while I was having a cig!

I'm thinking of going to Punk Rock Bowling in LV this spring. They just posted dates and bands.

Anyone ever been to it? Is this worth the trip?

 

[HawleyFarms]

Is Against All Authority still split up doing other projects? Haven't seen them since probably '05 or '06 when they were in Buffalo. Probably my favorite punk/ska show I ever went to.

I drifted in & out when I lived there. it was pretty cool then ('99-'01). although I had enemies I tried to avoid. I also avoided the Double Down Saloon for the same reasons, but I had a lot of friends that had a great time. there was a small bar called Money Plays down the street from the Gold Coast that had a great jukebox then and a decent selection on tap.

I've never been to PRB, but I'm going this year. We'll see how fun it'll be. I actually have never been to Vegas.

I'm not sure if Cash For Chaos is still open, but they used to be open on Maryland Parkway. since the Gold Coast ain't far from Arville Street and piss on the Rancho Mirage for me and all the Rogue Shire and United that used to hang.

 

[b-boy]

I will be there. Got my tickets. Myself, my brother, and several delinquents that I went to high school with will be in attendance. Should be fun! I'm just trying to find a place to stay. I'm thinking downtown is the way to go. Walking (stumbling) distance to the hotel will seem like a really good idea at 2AM.

don't short cut through any alleys and don't buy anything off anyone on the street. 1/2 of them are cops and the other half will get your money and their merchandise back.

Where'd this thread come from?

I'm not reading all if it because I genuinely don't care. I'm not surprised there's other old punks here aside from Billy Klubb.
