So the Austin Fun Fun Fun Fest just ended Got to see Negative Approach after party, 7 Seconds, Gorilla Biscuits, Coalesce, DRI, Danzig, Melt Banana, Red Sparrows and a bunch of other bands. Its sort of like a mini SXSW, we got rained on and muddied but it was worth it all; all hell broke loose for the GB set So I thought I'd share the Yellow Rose of Texas style Gorilla Biscuits shirt I saw there.
Nice, did the man himself play anything written before 2000? Halloween maybe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEMU0rszJtg
Never listened to Gorilla Biscuits before.I bet Negative Approach were awesome!! Were 7 Seconds The Crew or Joshua tree? How were GZA/Genius and The Pharcyde more to the point?
Seriously?!?!! They played in london a few years ago, that was something special, let me tell you. I don't think I have ever witness so many people in a mutual state of hardcore euphoria before. The first time Cocksparrer played NYC was pretty amazing actually, but that ain't no hardcore.
my friend just moved to Austin a few back and he was texting me loads over the last few days telling me how great seeing all these bands where, darn it I ain't seen any bands for a while apart from Burning Love a few weeks back which was good but the pa sucked so no vocals
Seriously!! All those Rev Rec bands were hardcore lite for me.I liked the YOT 7" and first LP and I had the first SOI 7" but after that I gave up.I prefer this kinda stuff: The festival looked killer.I hope to get back to Texas one day.I loved it there this past January.
I really only paid attention to what I was there for GB, 7 Seconds, Melt Banana etc. For the record The Night Marchers were great and Shonen Kinfe were pretty entertaining. It was the "the crew" 7 Second, all old stuff, DRI was great, I was never a fan but I recognized a few of their songs. I never saw Danzig before other then him hanging out at SDCC, he does but on a good show but its not for me, no Misfits or Samhain edit: Fucked Up played, my first time to see them live and they were great. Between 2 of the band members I saw them wearing 3 different Mishka shirts
SSD! Yes! I bought that when it came out...I'm old. I also had bought the Negative Approach stuff but never got to see them live. I did see John Brannons new band about a year ago,it was pretty awesome. That sounds like a killer show. 7 Seconds, I got to see them several times in Pittsburgh...Samhain too. They used to stay at our house
I love that Mishka take on the I love NY thing instead it says I love FU.I saw them last year in Sheffield.They were great.The singer came out in a pink tutu, downed a can of what everyone thought was beer in one go then smashed it on his forehead.It turns out it wasnt beer he drinks but diet pepsi !! They raged and reminded me of jerrys kids.Awesome
