Awesome Snacks

River City Blackout (Demo)

Live at Beat Kitchen 1-29-11

Nice 40 minute show from Banner Pilot.   They have a new album out now on Fat.  I haven’t heard it yet though.  Maybe I’ll get around to buying it next week.

With guest Mike Watt????

Ryan Young of Off With Their Heads had a few awesome musicians fill in with him on this OWTH recording (Mike Watt of the Minutemen among others on bass and Mike “Jimmy” Felix of Toys that Kill and URTC on Drums). Recorded By Todd Congellere at Clown Sound Studio:

I will follow you (picture disc)

It’s not that old, so I have no idea if it’s out of print or not, but my attempts to find it digitally, show that it impossible to find in a digital format.  If you still have a record player, you can probably still find a copy to buy though.

First Avenue
Best club in the country

First ave was voted the best club in the country in a poll of 40 touring bands. Read the whole story in the strib.

If you’re an old fart like me, you know that no venue has done more for punk rock in the this state than First Avenue. Back in the 80’s and 90’s, first ave would host a regular Sunday night all-ages show in the Entry, mostly featuring punk bands. Even long after I was of age, I spent many a Sunday in that shit hole seeing some amazing punk rock shows. Locals and out of towners. It was almost always a good time. Congrats First Ave. This was long overdue!

Help fund their new record!

The band is asking for help to fund the recording of their new album. Lots of incentives, and a guarantee that if they don’t reach their goal, you get your money back. Consider at least a $10 donation, and in return you a copy of the CD or a download of it…so just think of it as pre-buying the new album.

Everyone that knows me, knows that I love me some Magnolias. I first saw them back in the 80’s, before their first album came out, and I’ve enjoyed everything they have done since then. So help to put out more of that Magnolia goodness!
