Observations, Musings, and Lessons Learned mostly in the world of Punk, Ska, Alternative, Metal, and just plain Rock and Roll. Music with guitars…mostly
It’s looking more and more likely. At least a few days and a few aftershows perhaps. Saturday seems to be the easy no brainer with a lot of favorites. Friday and Sunday….when in Rome…
But in preparation, here’s a quick shot of some of the Saturday favorites. These need no introduction as we’ve seen them live in one place or the other that last few years. And these are what drive Saturday.
The Front Bottoms
Bad Religion
The Joy Formidable
Fear
GWAR
Only one preview this week. Mostly because it’s almost impossible to pair them with anyone. They stand alone in style and music for sure.
GWAR – Saturday
The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this barren and hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world… their story begins in the deepest reaches of outer space. Long ago, the beings who would become the rock band GWAR were part of an elite fighting force, the Scumdogs of the Universe. For eons, they served as thralls to a supreme being known only as the Master. But one by one, each future member of the band earned a glaring reputation for being an intergalactic fuck-up. And so, they were banished, sent away on a fool’s errand to conquer an insignificant shitball floating in a dark corner of the universe; the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR shaped the face of the globe, destroying and rebuilding the natural world, and giving rise to all of human history. Aliens to some, gods and demons to others, our erstwhile Scumdogs fucked apes to create the human race, and this fateful unplanned pregnancy would prove to be truly disastrous!
