MUCH BETTER

So far, 2013 has been a far better start than 2012 was. Our friends aren't dropping one by one, and  the Jay Brown Memorial Show was fucking great! (See the previous post). And now, it looks like we're playing with NoMeansNo on Feb. 27th at 919, or whatever the fuck it's called now. It's the club at 919 Douglas St., and it will be my first time playing with NMN since the very last Section 46 show at the Steel St. house back in '91. Yes, we're all that old. Needless to say, we're all pretty fucking excited. The Steel St. house is a decrepit little shack that some friends used to rent (including our bassist Joe) back in the day, located in an industrial part of town (very near where AK-47 practice right now). We played with The Clusterfux, featuring our very own Kent on lead guitar, NoMeansNo, and from Holland, The Ex. All in the fucking living room! The Ex impressed me with their experimental punk sound, (which I normally hate), incorporating everything from the straight up European punk sound, to Gypsy influenced melodies. And they were fucking passionate and intense. Getting to see NMN in a living room was something I'll never forget. Come see them, assholes.
