God Damn that was a fine pit to behold! The Queers played in the City of Salt on Saturday night. My SD card was full on my cell and my regular camera was out of batteries - so I was forced to drink and just have fun! I Can't Stand You

Also with them was Reno Divorce - FANTASTIC live! guess things happen that way

Victim's Willing was great - see Nacho Pumpkin pix on fb if you find them and like them! No trax on here - that is a shame!

Vena Cava opened and they are a great local band!

Fun and good times!

It was really an amazing show! Even though I went stag, or would that be doe in my case. The sound was good, but too many peeps were sitting. That is the only thing I don't care for. But if there has to be seating at least it was theater seating. Got a tiny table to myself on the side and took some decent pix and a couple of videos. This was the last stop on the 20 city tour and they made it a gooder! Blue Yodel No 4 - California Blues was the closer.

Enjoyed meeting Brett Detar - AMAZING VOICE/VOCALS - he is a little dark americana for my everyday taste - but a great performer and funny story teller - Whiskey, Cocaine, Herion Blues - fastest song he played.

Wed 10 Aug – Nekromantix

Fun and good times. I so wish I could have been that base.

The first band, the Pagan Dead, a little too screamo for me. I am sure they have found their niche, but cthulu cult norwegian-death-metal with a stand up base is just not my thing. It was too bad the Brains got stuck behind the border in Canada, because I had just got turned on to them and would have loved to have seen them!!!!!

But then it Nekroman's turn...They always put on a fun, hot show. Their drummer is not only insanely hot, she is an AMAZING drummer. I love to see more women in this role, particularly when they KICK ASS! However, I do have a thing for base players; maybe it is the frequency at which those notes shiver between my thighs, but then again, who knows.

Interesting venue, good sound and of course the drinks were too expensive. But I would go again.

Holy shit that was a good show. I can not believe how long they played. Plus I liked most of the songs. It really was the first time I had heard most of their music. Yes, I was told that I was likely one of the oldest at the event, but I found some with grey hair older than me! At least I think so.

Not a bad venue, but don't wear heels as if you eat shit, which I did you could loose a foot and have to have it amputated at the ankle. The gravel afterward was not so fun either in heels. And I forgot to eat dinner before going. Lost my friends shirt in the bathroom and had to buy another - thanx vendor guy for giving it away @ $12. Stupid whore in the bathroom who stole it should be punched in the taint. I don't like thieves at least for that kind of shit ~ but my bad, should have remembered.

I would see them again!



Tue 12 Jul – Alkaline Trio, Smoking Popes

What a fantastic time!!!!! These guys actually were an hour and a half late, but they braved the pass and a snowstorm to show up and play to 50 or 60 people! I think that is just really cool! And as always they put on a fantastic show. Skankin' abounding, oi, oi, oi! Buster was his usual charming self and this time got a pic taken with him. Lovely - except he looks better n' me. A bit much o' the Guiness and tried some Strongbow - the new desert cider...LOL.


Mon 16 May – Bad Manners

What a rocking show! While I was not very impressed with the first band; I will say they have guts and with some practice could go further. They were very young, fairly tight, but nothing that stood out other than a female lead singer in a corset tank top. I know sex sells, and she was trying to be about the punk rock, but not sure I got a lot out of the music other than screaming - hate that shit!

The big surprise of the night was the second band: Those Damn Bastards - super tight, excellent sound and good rockin' reminded me a bit of Tiger Army but had their own sound! Can not wait to see them again. Perhaps former members of of Spooky DeVille - still trying to find them or any of their music, but they are on again in about 10 days - want to meet those fucks! They ROCK!

Flatfoot 56 was a sure crowd pleaser and they were a good time. Good sound and got the mosh pit moving. Nice guys - glad I got to see them.

Roger Miret was a bit of a disapointment - sound not so great, but most of the crowd was there to see them and that man can still put on a powerful show at 47. Glad I got to see them. There was a small rumour about the bar that AF might actually do a show again...wouldn't that be interesting...

I love this bar, I forgot I should have stock in it.

Mon 11 Apr – Flatfoot 56, Roger Miret, The Disasters

The man is as rockin' as ever. However, I must say that for one of the few bands which I have ever seen that could incite some of the larger pits I've been in; the fans were a bit lax. My and my gal pal were winding it up through the crowd and she was wearing a dress!

As usual, the dialogue between songs is one of the things that make a Meatmen show better than your average. The man is always trying to incite something or just spout off. I will say I was surprised to find that he is a phone junkie - always on that thing while walking around the bar checkin' it or tweeting. I hear tell he is an infamous tweeter - will have to search that one - could be interesting...

Cheers and

~Meow for now.


Wed 6 Apr – The Meatmen

Everyone should get over on it - weekly!
