REBEL8

I’ve been obsessed with this band lately. I went and checked them out in Portland and San Francisco last week. If you like black metal, and the stench of pigs blood, give these guys a listen.

More metal than ya Ma’s kettle.

Last week I got to catch up with my good homies The Bronx again when they opened up for Refused in SF. Here’s some pics from a wild fucking night. Enjoy!

Crack is a helluva drug.

I mean, it really is.

The Bronx killed it as usual. They are one of my favorite bands to see live. Always repping the 8.

Ran into my old buddy Nick (As I Lay Dying) smashing a hot dog.

I had never really heard The Hives until this show, but they were really fucking awesome!

Then shit got  weird.

McGruff says no to drugs, The Bronx can’t.

Refused totally killed it.

Good fucking times!

I’ve been obsessed with this record lately. Growing up I was always into bands like Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult and Mercyful Fate. Its awesome to see a newer band paying homage to them.

Last month Giant teamed up with The Hydrilla for the return of his Skullz Press party. PBR SF gave us a ton of beer and really got it goin.

ChaunceyCC held it down on the wheels of steel.

Giant had a bunch of rad drawings on display.

El Mac and Jason.

Ricky The Jew, Me and Giant.

Last week I went out to Oakland for the Mariachi El Bronx/Foo Fighters concert.

Mariachi El Bronx were so good! This is a band that is truly doing something completely different than anyone else out there right now. Check em out!

Hella fools.

This was the first time I’ve ever seen Foo Fighters. They put on an awesome live show as well. Always been a fan of everything Dave Grohl has done.

My home away from home celebrated their ten year anniversary last week. Don’t ever invite me to an open bar.

Party Pete.

Party Pablo.

Joshy and I went and checked out the Hatebreed show at the Warfield the other night. No one can fuck with the Breed. Heaviest band on earth!

After the show we had a little get together at The Hydrilla. I had the chance to catch up with my former bandmate Frank. I miss hanging with this dude everyday.

Frank and Chauncey gettin’ loose.

A gaggle of assholes.

I’ve been down in LA since The Big Takeover party, visiting all our stockists. Got to catch a couple shows down there and hang with friends in between.

Saturday, after the party we all went to Blink 182 at the Hollywood Bowl. Mad confetti and lasers.

Joshy Pee.

Sunday, the Cro-Mags played a free show at the Roxy. This was the craziest hardcore show I’ve seen in a very long time. They always bring it live.

Ghetto Night at the Short Stop in Echo Park is the ultimate party. For real.

One of my favorite hardcore bands are coming out here this week. Blood For Blood was the first band to bring Terror on a real tour. I’ve always have, and always will have much respect for these guys.
