#79 Lessons in Sticken it to the Man

I'm not a big time advocate for the violation of copy right laws, but I do admit to taking every opportunity to stick it to Billy Corgan. Seriously, the guy sucks.

Last week was probably the best week for punk rock Green Bay (my home town encase you didn't already know) has seen since the 80's. Beginning with Sun July 26th and ending Aug 2nd I had the opportunity to see:

-Sloppy Seconds- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf96br9LSWU
-Destroy Everything- http://www.myspace.com/destroyeverything
-Jetty Boys- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz8HuFP6Pmk
-The Manix- http://www.myspace.com/themanixmn
-Liarbirds- http://www.myspace.com/liarbirdspace
-Final Summation- http://www.myspace.com/finalsummation
-Social Distortion- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf_R4_yvQOQ
-The Strangers- http://www.myspace.com/strangersstrangers
-Civet- http://www.myspace.com/civet
-Truth Dealer- http://www.myspace.com/truthdealer
-X27- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCIPSzL3r30
-The Re-volts- http://www.myspace.com/sfrevolts

and last but not least

-The Phenomenauts- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8houK22fQ0Y

Now Green Bay is a town where you get one or two good shows a month. Having any of these bands play in a week would have been exciting, but to have them all play in the same week? I very nearly went broke/insane trying to see them. Luckily I succeeded in doing so while only sustaining minor damage to my finances and/or mental health. I'm still super buzzed from all the excitement. It was a good week. =)
