Well
Rebellion, the much loved and equally loathed punk festival is over,
and while the blood is still running hot I would think some of my
Scottish brethren who were at it will be looking for something to
keep the party going.
Meanwhile
others who missed it will be wanting to start their own punk party,
and there's a couple of good options coming up this week that they
should be aware of.
First is
Social Distortion supported by Chris Devotion and the Expectations
playing in the ABC on Wednesday night.(22nd)
The only
chance of a ticket for this is from the touts on the night or a
private sale as it's been sold out for a while now.
It's a
gig that I'll definitely be trying to be front and centre for.
However
if anyone seen them at Rebellion and can't justify splashing the cash
to see them again so soon, or if SD aint your thing then this Friday
(24th) Phoenix Promotions are at Pivo Pivo in Glasgow with
the crackin' line up of Distorted Truth, Splinter, Buzzbomb and
Alkotron & Haggis.
It's a
mere fiver on the door and starts at 7pm.
Last time
Distorted Truth were in town a mates band was having their album
launch and I tossed a coin to decide where I would go and they lost
lost out on the pleasure of my company.
So I'm
looking forward to this chance to take a second bite at them.
Another
mate has fried my brain by repeatedly telling me how good Alkotron
are so this is going to be my opportunity to either agree or disagree
with him instead of just telling him he talks shit without having any
real evidence to back that up.
It's also
going to be my first chance to see Buzzbomb since they released their
latest album.
So bring
on Wednesday and Friday as I'm ready.
