Here are pictures from our show with Vivian Girls, Fucked Up and Pissed Jeans. Promise us you won’t print them out and take shits on them. It’s bad karma for everyone involved (including the president).

Check out this venue. Todd P really has a good thing going here. He takes an abandoned building with NO HEAT, buys a few cases of cheap beer, gets any band he wants, and it magically fills with people. There must have been 650 people there.

This is in the middle of fucking Bushwick by the way. How does he do it?
-
I dressed punk instead of hardcore because it makes for better pictures. Curtis said he thought punks like that were posers when he was a kid because it’s gay to dress up. In Canada it was the opposite. We were way more into punk than hardcore because we all had British parents. We didn’t get how Minor Threat and all that could walk around dressed like jocks and think they were being “Not Normal.”
-
Can you believe this joint? It made a squat look like my Nana’s apartment (you’ve never been there but she did it up real nice – Shit, that reminds me. I have to call her today).
-
When we started it was badass to fly the American flag at our show but now that the president is all “cool,” it’s queer. The girl from the Vivian Girls helped me fold it back up correctly and that didn’t feel very hardcore.
-
We had someone hold up the lyrics so everyone could sing along, which they FUCKING did. I had to fight to get the mic back a few times.
-
Some of the gentler vocalists. What the fuck are they singing here, Kumbaya?
-
The secret to Agnostic Front is to only sing every second word.
-
They need to invent a Nerf mic scarf so you don’t hit your teeth when passing it back and forth.
-
Dan and Tracie missed the show because they were making out the whole time. Fucking fags.
-
I got kicked in the face during a stage dive and felt all this moisture come out of my nose. I must have looked like Sid Vicious, standing there with blood all over my face and I totally hammed it up. After the song was done I blew my nose into my hand to see how bad it was bleeding and realized it wasn’t blood at all, it was snot. So when I was sneering to the crowd all bloody like the dude from Candy Snatchers, I was actually just saying, “Hey motherfuckers, check it out. I have a cold.”
-
All the other bands were obviously much better than us but, sorry, it’s hard to compete with: everyone in the audience knowing all your songs and loving the shit out of them. It’s the dirty pool of playing live.
-
The pit was so intense I thought I was going to get raped.
-
Trace got a fat lip and a black eye. One of the downsides of being in the pit when you’re over 40.
-
It’s going to be hard giving this up. We may have to head to band & crew for a Curtis replacement.
-
The end (?)
PS Thanks to Nicholas Gazin for the pics. Except this one…
MORE PICS HERE
I’d feel like I missed out if there were actually some pictures of chicas finas. Otherwise, this is just another Circle Jerk (no pun intended) that I was right not to have gone to.
Todd P is a narcissistic colon polyp.
Did you lose a guitar player? I’ll step in. My old band put out 4 whole records, am just a c-hair over 30 and almost died in an accident once so I have a cool scar on my stomache. Totally qualified.
Seriously, how did Todd P make himself into a brand that people trust?
hardcore cover bands = fucking lame
write some music or go the fuck home.
jesus all I did last nite was watch the duchess with some red wine ha what a fag
oh and fucking queue cards, you’ve got to be fucking kidding me
You make a good point about the American flag. I have a navy hoodie with an American flag patch on the right arm (and a New York patch underneath it) and it was always so badass to wear when internationally traveling (or even in NY) cause I got dirty looks and flack for it. Now I’ll just look like some thooo thuper exthited Obama drone celebrating my thoooo thuper thpethial country. BUMMER! That hoodie ruled.
@Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper: I hope you are no older than fifteen or sixteen with your serious attitude about hardcore. Looks like fun to me, but I guess I’m only serious about serious shit. Call me crazy.
I only have one question. Who in hot hell is that gorgeous Lamar Latrell (wearing Olivia Newton John pants) in the third pic?
get a replacement and come to toronto to play. stop being a traitor
you look like the singer for the cure. maybe incorporate Lovecats into the next set?
You = Mad Max Catweezel

Cheers
How was the Vivian Girls?
dude, if that’s tracie’s face, then that bitch be ugly.
Ew, old person nostalgia from their heyday… it’s like my grandpa rocking out to big band
Jesus that’s a lot of work to get nothing done.
Is Lamar Latrell the gay dude from Revenge of the Nerds? Lambda Lambda Lambda
I played a show back in the day, wearing a t shirt with an American flag on it, except it had fish instead of stars. The opening band took time to hate on me in their set. When we played, everyone came back to cheer us, and I had two new girlfriends from the band we opened for.
to bizzay: and now you comment on the SC message board. What happened??
The Punk costume was awesome. Why did Beckles go with the Minor Threat costume (as seen in the third photo, behind Gavin)?
