so here's another show for people in Toronto...
21 March (this thursday)
NOFX, Mad Caddies, Fabulous Disaster, and
Frenzal Rhomb are going to be playing at the
Kool Haus/
The Warehouse.
NOFX - one of the most influential punk bands around; they'll be on the
Warped Tour this summer. I was going to see them in Jacksonville, FL when I was there but I heard that they suck live (really! i'm not trying to make a stupid joke referring to their live album!)
Mad Caddies - i've never seen a ska band do a bad show; my friends who've seen them say they play a good show, and of course they're kick ass
Fabulous Disaster - They're on Pink and Black Records; I don't know any of their stuff, yet.
Frenzal Rhomb - "From the land of criminals (Australia) comes Frenzal Rhomb. Probably the only band named after a light refracting box..." I've been listening to them a lot lately and the more I listen, the more I like. These guys are AWESOME!
I'm not sure if this show will sell out (as quickly?) as Bad Religion (see below), but I recommend checking it out. "Punker" or not, it doesn't matter. It never has...
Good music, good people, good vibes/times.
As for me, if all works out, I'll be going to North Carolina this weekend seeing
Anti-Flag (one of my favorites...),
Good Riddance, etc. on the
A-F Records & Fat Wreck Chords "Mobilize for Peace" North American Tour. Anti-Flag will be with
Millencolin in Europe at the end of April.

q: why update on shows/about bands at all?
a: music is such a powerful art form.
most art seeks to inspire and inform
this provokes involvement depending on the message given.
we're all products of this in some respect
e.g. Bad Religion has set up a research fund, giving grants to students to pay for field-oriented research projects.
Beastie Boys and the Tibetan Freedom Concert,
however...
