Working - Cock Sparrer

You didn't REALLY think I was going to say anything good about the Farce that is the Punk Rock Posing club shows, did you?

I mean, deep, deep in your heart, you know that they are weak as all gets, you know that, right, and you don't need me to confirm that, because you know that year after year after year it just gets worse and worse and even more mediocre, if that's possible, but you're too ashamed to admit that PRP is nothing more than a money making scam, a joke, because you really wanna be part of the Kool Kids Klub that rants and raves and revels in all things PRP related, and plus your Friends are coming in from out of town, and you don't wanna disappoint them by having an independent thought, now do you? Plus you already bought your ticket, and there's nothing better than checking in on Facebook while you're at Punk Rock Posing, right, and don't forget about those amazeball selfies you're gonna be taking while some band that used to be good 25 years ago is raging away on a stage 150 yards from where you're standing, or even worse, it's some band that's totally on the Shawn Stern dick tip up on a stage that they don't deserve to be on, much like the Local bands that are playing,  up there struggling to give you a reason to stand there and watch them on the big stage wallow in mediocrity and drunken shame. I could go on and on but what's the point? You know you're gonna go, you know you're gonna have fun, and you should know, that makes you no better and yet much much worse than the sheeple that go to a Justin Bieber concert. Lame-O's.

If you're going to Punk Rock Posing, this probably will hold no interest to you whatsoever, but for the rest of us who remember what REAL Punk Rock is/was all about, then I strongly urge you to check this out. There's this movie called Salad Days - A Decade Of Punk In Washington, D.C. 1980-1990, and it's kind of on Tour right now, stopping at all sorts of places and cities to be screened and viewed by others, and tomorrow night it makes it's stop right here in Las fucking Vegas, so if you have any interest in East Coast Punk Rock, the D.C. scene, or any of the seminal bands that have been spawned from there, much too many to list, then get your ass down to the XOXO B Modern Events venue (what?) to catch the viewing. It's all ages and $5 to get in. Watch the official trailer below, and click here to check out the official Facebook event page for more info. I'm skeptical to anything nowadays that has Dave Grohl in it, because that guy just became a puppet head blow hard who will comment on anything if given a forum to do so, regardless of whether he has anything to do with the subject or not. This movie has got to be better than that fairy tale BYO Youth Brigade Let Them Know bullshit movie that came out a while back... ass clowns.

This weekend is the big 49th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade & Festival, going on in beautiful downtown Hendertucky, brought to you by the wonderful people known as the Southern Nevada Sons & Daughters Of Erin, and I'm pretty psyched that The Civilians are a part of this. We're playing both days of the event - 8 pm on Sat. night, and 2 pm on Sun. afternoon, and it's going to be so much fun that your head will explode into a green, highly alcoholic goo! Carnival rides, bands, grub, car show, games, you name it, it's all gonna be there, so come on out, have fun, and hopefully I see you there! Click here for the Facebook event page with all the info and stuff.

Everything's updated. Pictures of The Mantors were added (click here to see them) as well as the photos of Green Jello (click here to see them) I took on the same night at the Dive. I got a Show Review on that night, plus a bunch of Music Reviews to post when I get the time. Lots of stuff going on - check out the Gig Calendar page to keep up on it all, and remember - if it's not on there, it's because your gig sucks. Deal with it. :-)
