Commando - The Ramones

There's a couple of cool gigs going on this weekend that I think you should be hyped about. The first one is going down on Friday with Deadhand and Three Chord Radio playing @ Favorites. Brendan is just back from his acoustic beard core crap busking tour, and so it should be a great night to catch the band rock the fuck out and blow the roof off the joint like they usually do. Three Chord Radio are a cover band that plays like, 90's Punk covers I think. I played a gig with them in Hendertucky but don't remember too much about them except that they played Rancid and Bad Religion covers. Phooey. Anyways, get off your lazy ass and check out a cool gig. I would be there, but there's no place for us handicapped people to sit. I should have a Photographer there though - if she's not too busy working on her Interpol pix... heh heh

And then there's this gig going down on Saturday @ the Bunkhouse. Off With Their Heads, who I think, last played here for Punk Rock Bowling last year? I dunno, don't really care. I think I saw them play at the Bunkhouse before, don't remember digging them too much, but I'm not too sure about that thought either. Alzheimer's ya know. Anyways, the bigger deal about this gig is that it's TheCore's CD release show for their new album called Thunder Makers. As a proud member of American Buckshot, who bring the Thunder each and every time we play, and have been doing so for years, I take a small bit of umbrage at these young bearded upstarts declaring themselves Thunder Makers - perhaps a thunder making dual performance might be necessary, hmmm? LOL All kidding aside, this is a cool moment for TheCore, and I'm hoping to be there to celebrate it with them. Sal one night @ the Double Clown played me some unfinished tracks the band were working on, and the stuff sounded fantastic then, so I can only imagine what it's gotta sound like now! And with Holding Onto Sound on the bill as well, that just makes this a gig you don't wanna miss - especially if you're a lover of Beardcore! hee hee hee If you're at this gig and you're not sporting a beard, then you will be the odd one in the room and possibly subject to ridicule - unless you're a chick, of course... heh heh So come on out and celebrate their latest release with ThcCore!
