Punk Rock and Hardcore

[77punx]

My old band opened for GBH, TSOL, Social D, and Rancid. It was kind of a 77 style clash meets the US Bombs.

I've been on a serious psychobilly kick for the last few weeks. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking for some obscure bands that I might not have heard of. Although, that pretty much defines psychobilly now that I think about it.

Guys, the new album by Code Orange Kids is just amazing.

So, the band I used to tour with has pretty much had a revolving door of drummers since I left in 2007. They recorded a full length album with me back in April of 2012 and have been through two drummers since, the last one quitting as recently as two weeks ago. They have since asked me to do one last tour with them that was already in the planning stages and I agreed. We'll actually be hitting the road mid-late March and I'd love it if some of you could make it out. Here are the dates:

3/15-wapakoneta,oh (booked)
3/16-someset,ky (booked)
3/17-clarksville,tn
3/18-nashville,tn
3/19-knoxville,tn
3/20-chattanooga,tn
3/21-birmingham,al
3/22-jackson,ms (booked)
3/23-biloxi,ms
3/24-atlanta,ga
3/25-columbia,sc
3/26-greensboro,nc
3/27-richmond,va
3/28-dc
3/29-baltiomore,md
3/30-pittsburgh.pa

Also, if you know someone who does shows in any of the cities not listed as "booked" we'd appreciate some help in securing those dates. If you can help out please contact these guys:

Here's a song off of the last record I did with them (that's me with the huge mohawk behind the kit).



The new stuff is along the lines of Motorhead and DRI. Once again, I'd love to see some of you guys come out for the show and thanks if you can help out!

I used to work for Dr. Strange Records way back in the day. I had access to so much good music and even had the opportunity to hang with the great Peter and the Test Tube Babies.

 

[+HopSpunge+]

Dr. Know ?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

Dr. Know ?

holy crap! out of my memory banks for years!

 

[+HopSpunge+]

Ya. They made some great music.

when I lived in Vegas, Resist & Exist played a back yard show, along with some local wanna be crust. I got kicked out. the girls who put it together were self proclaimed riot girls. in reality, they just loved Rosie the Riveter & writing crappy 'zines. the whole time Resit played, Jay kept stopping and starting sentences with, "I don't know about out here, but in California...". I mocked everything he said & kept telling him to "go back to California then". this still wasn't enough for them to throw me out. it was a small joke that did the trick. between bands, I got on the mic and asked, "How many riot girls does it take to change a light bulb? Four. One to do it & three to write a 'zine about it."

moral of the story: It's OK to pee in a riot girls back yard in the middle of a crowd in broad daylight while some crust band is spewing gardening tips, squatting tips, and political nonsense.

hahaha

 

[oldstyle69]

last show i got kicked out of was DRI. got jumped by 3 sxe kids. bad day to be sxe. got the whole show shut down.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I haven't even been to a show in years. I got tired of all the old heads pacing the back of the shows, all in the same crossed arms stance and either nodding to each other in approval or shaking their heads in disgust. and all the young ones trying to prove exactly how punk rock they were to each other & all the old heads. but Rapid City, SD has always been that way.

 

[Qhrumphf]

The last shows I've been to have been hip hop (The Coup), reggae (Toots and the Maytals), and industrial (Atari Teenage Riot). It's been at least a few years since I've been to a punk/hardcore show. Hudson Falcons/a bunch of local bands or The Business/Iron Cross , or it could have been another Hudson Falcons/Sab's newer band show (all decent shows with decent crowds). Or maybe it was that free Leftover Crack show where I got too fed up with the crusties puking everywhere long before the doors even opened that I just bailed and never even saw the show. Don't remember which was more recent. Like I said, it's been a while.

 

[oldstyle69]

now that i think about it, ive been to alot of shows and been kicked out of since then, but that was the most fun. haha. the Templars are playing Chicago in March or May...i can recall. you should make yer way down Billy.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I f'ing love this album. 25:57 is one of my favorite songs, especially on a Friday afternoon.

Listening to E Town Concrete out of NJ/. Saw them with Biohazard a couple of years ago.

Last concert was the Big 4 at Yankee Stadium...Anthrax, Megadeath, Slayer and Metallica

[oldstyle69]

I might have missed this somewhere in this long, fun thread but how about The Skids! Green Day and U2 covered their song "The Saints Are Coming" for the Katrina benefit. Great, archetypal punk band.

For those of you in L.A. this week, Midge Ure is playing the El Ray on Saturday. Maybe that's more post-punk.

Which reminds me - anyone else on this board going to NAMM?

I've got to work...

Played a couple shows with this guy Pat the Bunny. I've been listening to his newest band lately, Ramshackle Glory. Can't beat his stuff from Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains though.. good ol' crusty acoustic punk rock.

 

[cram]

Great thread, nice to see some links to music, too. There are lots of great bands posted already. My one-year old was all smiles and bobbing up and down to the Gorilla Biscuits song--too funny.

But I'll throw a couple you-tube vids into the mix, too.

Here's some footage from a Nomeansno show:


And an actual music video from tiltWheel:

 

[Billy-Klubb]

we used to shout "Play the list!" to every band at every show. 1 in 10 would do it.

 

[oldstyle69]

man, i havnt listened to nomeansno in ages!
