I claimed to revamp the "Punk o' 90's Flashback on Monday, and then left it hanging till Friday, but that alright, just like the Lookout weekend that started the Flashback on a roll in in October. I propose a blogging streak challenge. A blog a day, for as long as I can keep it going stay tuned, Streetlight Manifesto concert review tomorrrow after the show.
Speaking of shows on of my favourites went down at the Pyramid in 2003 - Dropkick Murphys, and the Casualties. We can talk about Dropkick on a later date, but right now it is getting Casual-ties. The funniest thing I have ever heard at a concert was lead singer Jorge asking the crowd if the were in gangs. I'm not sure if gangs in New York are like in The Warriors, bu tif they are like in Winnipeg they aren't that cool. The crowd confirmed this with a confused silence. Jorge rolled with the punches, but I think he still wasn't aware that although a lot of these people dressed like New York punks I bet they don't roll like them. Before breaking into "Stay Out Of Order" Jorge yells "Well you know what I'm talking about? Drinking beers, sniffing glue. Let's go!"
Stay Out Of Order rocked, and I'm pretty sure the Casualties aren't hooked on glue. The point of this whole blog is that there are very few bands that establish an old school punk vibe, and the Casualties do it up proper. I f you get a chance check them out. I say them with Gwar in December, and they haven't missed a beat, but the Casualties have gone a little to more growl than screech in the vocals. Good stuff.
Check out Streetlight Manifest Saturday February 19. It will be sweet.
If you don't like cursing don't watch right to the end of this stay out of order video. Some guy puts some Fers up at the end.
