Last night was my 2nd concert since the pandemic, just 30 days or since the Descendants and Rise Against show. But what a difference three weeks makes. New York finally and thankfully garnered the political will to require vaccinations from all concert goers. If the energy from last night’s concert was any indication, THIS was […]
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 […]
After missing a ton of great shows due to my travel schedule and just pure laziness (just being transparent), I finally caught up with a trio of bands playing at the Bowery Electric, just steps away from where the famed CBGBs changed the world music scene in what seems like forever ago. The Bowery Electric […]
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 […]
A birds-eye view of the potent punk scene in Quito, Ecuador with our buddies Los Suziox playing one of their songs off their EL FIN JUSTIFICA LOS MEDIOS (The End Justifies the Means) out now on Punk Outlaw Records.
Punk Rockers can make it big. Many have. But few have remained as relevant as Billy Idol. Yeah, this guy brought new life to Mony Mony but it’s his original songs, “White Wedding” and “Rebel Yell”, I’ll remember. But before our guy had a big solo career as a generally pop rock musician, my man […]
My ears are still ringing and I’m still on a natural high from the big Youth Brigade Show at Weber’s Sports Bar in Receda, California Friday night. This is my 2nd time at Weber’s and I have to tell you, this is really a good place to take in a show and they are booking […]
No, I’m not in Colombia anymore but that doesn’t mean the punk scene ground to a halt! My good buddy Luis from the punk band Kuchabomba in Bogota was cool enough to send me some pics from the show last weekend and I’m posting them here for your enjoyment and general viewing pleasure. Enjoy! Oh […]
Our first official day of shooting in Quito, Ecuador and we had a date with DMTR at the famous local rock bar “The Garage Bar”. In case your wondering, DMTR stands for Demeter and refers to the God of Fertility. Now, I had done my research on these guys before hand and though there was […]
Yeah, I know I haven’t updated in a bit! Sorry, I’m not dead, I’m just in Tennessee yawl! Visiting family and getting in touch with my Gringo/hillbilly roots. I do have some updates coming still from my trip down in Argentina last month but in the meantime here is a good event for our California […]
February 5th, 2011 So we kick things off with our first coverage of a punk concert for 2011 and I’m happy to say it was for a good cause. Our friend Kmilo helped organize the event which requested that punks bring notebooks for school kids who couldn’t afford them. From the looks of the number […]
If you happen to be in warm, sunny Medellin this weekend (as opposed to cold, icy, snowy NYC… sorry had to rub it in), then this is a good concert for a good cause including some bands that we’ve featured here before like our buddies from “Lokekeda” (See archives HERE and HERE) and many, many […]
It’s been a 2 month delay (what can I say I’ve been traveling a lot!) but we finally got the pics up from the big “Rock en Medellin” concert last November in, you guessed it, Medellin, Colombia. If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know I’m very high on the punk scene […]
It is that time of year, so here is my Xmas gift to you.. an exclusive video of Los Suziox performing “Perfeccion” at the Rock en Medellin festival last month. Sorry for the delay in getting this up. Enjoy!

RIONEGRO, COLOMBIA Sunday I skipped church (joke!) and took the 45 minute bus ride from Medellin to Rionegro with the guys from Los Suziox who were scheduled to headline a punk show to a small but furious punk crowd. I had never been to Rionegro before so I thought “what the hell, why not”. Rionegro […]
MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA I promised video from the Alta Voz festival in Medellin, Colombia and I almost always keep my promises, so here ya go! If you aren’t familior with Los Suziox (The Dirty) here is the scoop on these guys. As you can see by the video, Los Suziox (LSZX for short) is a hometown […]
Medellin, Colombia The Alta Voz Punk Festival went down this past Saturday in Medellin, Colombia in a park near the University of Medellin. It was a beautiful day for an outdoor festival, not too hot and most importantly, no rain! I arrived around 3:30 pm with my amigos from Los Suziox (The Dirty), who were […]
