That whole Exodus thing... it feels like one of those vintage acts that just went through a minor rebranding, you know? Like they're trying too hard to be the opening act for every classic British punk band out there. It's honestly a bit much.

Wait, weren't they actually the ones opening for Subs the last time they toured through here?

no idea said:Best—Sixpack at the Spider.
Worst—Things Fall Apart playing at Disconnection in the factory.

MDA, those pests in Things Fall Apart were a total train wreck. Honestly, if you look at it objectively, S.U. was even more disastrous, but I suppose that’s just part of their charm. 😁
Unfortunately, TFA is playing Lollapalooza next month over at The Fillmore. But hey, at least Pasi will be performing there from our local scene!👍

PunkPen said:Coachella was an absolute disaster, and those bands like Entreat or whatever they were called playing at the Spider venue... pure DESPAIR! And then you had El Frankenstein and the crew over at KEXP.

The best one, naturally, was Watt 😍 featuring Liars and all that sort of thing.

So you're saying Coachella was a letdown... That's a shame, really; I was actually quite looking forward to living under the blissful delusion that I’d missed out on something legendary.😢
As for Watt, it was absolutely wild, though I have to admit the Dirtbombs were just a hair better.

Alex Scott22 said:What was your absolute best show, and which one was such a disaster you actually regretted showing up?

For me, nothing beat The Beach Boys in Orlando or those Lost Girls tracks at KEXP..

But the absolute worst had to be that Gangsta rap set on MTV (complete garbage, honestly; I only went because a friend kept badgering me, like... "come on, let's hit a gig tonight," ugh, please)

I don't know, that Gangsta rap wasn't *that* terrible... though it certainly wasn't anything to write home about either. It was just one of those things—a Saturday night gig, grab a Budweiser, call it a night, and move on.
As for the best so far—definitely The Stooges at KEXP.
The worst? Hard to say. Maybe Sketch and Sixpack over at the Spider. The opening acts really should have been the main attraction, but instead, they just made the headliners look like total amateurs by comparison.
