My talented pal Laura Rebel Angel (the hardest working lady in rockabilly AND psychoabilly) and her band the Screamin’ Rebel Angels are back with a brand new music video “Oh! My Soul” that she directed herself. Love this song and this video and I think you will too. Check it and give Laura & team a […]
When Mike Ness of Social Distortion plays anywhere in my vicinity, I want to be there. I’ve seen Social Distortion live at least a dozen times all over the U.S., and have been known to work my travel schedule around their tour stops. On this particular date they’d be playing the beautiful Capital Theatre […]
The current iteration of the Vibrators came across the pond from merry old England to play Bowery Electric last weekend and I made it out. It was an uncharacteristically good weekend for punk rock in NYC this one particular weekend with Fear playing Gramercy Theatre the night before (Friday) and Leggs McNeil lecturing the following Sunday […]
Our pals from Cape Town South Africa, Half Price, have teamed up with “Alive at Midnight” for a cool CD coming out soon and here is the first song from the collection and it’s a doozy. I like it “So Hard it Hurts” and you will too! Enjoy!
I recently revisited Medellin, Colombia after an almost 8-year absence (yeah, I’ve been a bit busy). Having once semi-lived in Medellin, I know the city pretty well, thanks largely in part to my punk rock amigos and particularly to Andres O’Campo, lead singer of the now legendary punk band Los Suziox. I’d seen Andres a […]
It was a killer show, truly…. no pun intended, no hyperbole either. It was the reunion of the old/new Dead Boys featuring Cheetah Chrome & Johnny Blitz and it was the 1st stop on their 2018 tour. For those of you who don’t know the Dead Boys, you can read all the gory & fascinating details […]
Some of the things I miss the most about living on the West Coast are Sushi, Street Tacos, NPR radio and a still vibrant punk rock scene. We don’t share a lot of radio interviews here on this blog but I thought this might interest some of our readers from around the world. Here is […]
I was still majorly jet lagged from a recent European jaunt, but had on my calendar to hit up The Casualties & GBH concert at the Gramercy Theatre on September 9th, 2017 and I’ll be damned if some nausea and drowsiness were going to keep me from it. It was far from the 1st time […]
For some reason, unknown to me, Social Distortion, to my knowledge, has not toured within the 5 boroughs of NYC (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx or Staten Island) since way back in 2006 when the Roseland Ballroom was around. I saw that show and I’ve seen Social Distortion probably over a dozen times in several different […]
My pal Eric Fliegelman from Philly knows a thing or two about punk and underground music, so when he gave me the heads up that some buddies of his from the Nebraska band “St. Christopher Webster” were playing in NYC, it was a no brainer to go check them out. But when he sent me […]
