May 26, 2012: The Upper Crust, Lola-Cola...

To me, this show @Red 7 was like a sandwich made up of some fine-ass gourmet bread (Lola-Cola and The Upper Crust) and filled with some ham that was starting to turn bad (Neon Cobra) and some stinky, moldy cheese (Yuppie Pricks). The previous sentence is a good example of why I should keep my descriptions brief.

Anyhoo, here are some PICS (the cheese didn't photograph well so I didn't include it)...



And a VID of Lola-Cola covering "You Think You're the Best" (by The Nuns)...

June 9, 2011: Was it a rocking weekend? Sheeeeeee-it! (Pt. 1)

This Thursday kickoff to the weekend was one bad muhfugger! I did 5 one-way trips between Skinny's Ballroom and Emo's, so this fatass got his sweat on both during and between the bands' sets. And although I didn't get to see their set, I got the Planets cd (with a little help from my friends...Dan, I owe you 2 bucks!) and I am thoroughly diggin' it.
