Alternafest at Montrose Saloon


Jo and I rode over after a loooong hot day. We caught a little of Moonhole's "The 90s Greatest Hits," but mostly hung outside with Tony and Robert.

Nonagon were, as usual, great. Despite Tony trying to rewrite their songs on the fly. Twice.

We hung out for a minute, but then left early so I don't think we caught any of the Sinkers.

Summer Circus at Metro


I've wanted to see Bite Me Bambi for a while, and now I finally have. They were super fun.

For Suicide Machines set, Jo and I stayed in the middle almost at the DJ booth. Unbeknownst to me, Metro has a fence in front of the stage now - "almost at the DJ booth" was basically in the pit. So that was fun. 

Fishbone played a short set and weren't great by Fishbone standards. So, unbelievably great. Glad I was right by the pit for dancing room for that.

Less Than Jake still leaves me cold. I mean it's horn-driven power-pop/pop-punk/90s-ska, so I should love it. But I do not. We left early.

Stopped to by swag on the way out. Got Fishbone's new record (!), but Bite Me Bambi weren't around - I settled for picking up 2 Suicide Machine records (one for each of us - we have yet to decide whose is whose). I ordered the BMB record when I got home from the internet machine.
