My source is reliable and wished to remain anonymous. Not random at all, guys. Also, hey. Long time.

National Underground just posted a bootleg from the Gainesville show. Sounds pretty good. http://www.mediafire.com/?ydtdo4zm4dg

Will be at the Orlando date.

I know some dudes who are trying to set up a show for them at Will's Pub. Just waiting to hear back from the band.

I saw them live a few years ago when they were opening for Against Me! and Mastodon. They were great and that tour was awesome.

http://twitter.com/redcityradio/status/5999993363 No details yet, but I'm stoked that this EP will be getting the wax treatment. If you haven't heard this band, you're missing out. Not exactly a typical Eyeball Records outfit (I mean that in the best way possible). http://www.eyeballrecords.com/artist/redcityradio

I don't think they're acknowledging the two direct-to-video movies in the official Universal Soldier canon.

Yup. Plus the bartenders are always rude. And they're the ONLY venue that doesn't allow bags. That $5 dollar bag check is a load of horseshit.

Yeah, I kinda wish the organizers had kept their promise of cutting down the number of bands performing (as opposed to doing the exact opposite). I don't know that it would have solved the line problem, but it couldn't have hurt. The logistics are unfair to a lot of the smaller bands playing and to all the attendees for having to wait in line for so fucking long. The fact is, there weren't enough slots in The Venue for how many semi-popular bands were booked and several of the bands playing the main stage (The Bomb, The Methadones, Chris Wollard) should've been playing smaller venues. I didn't even bother trying to get into Common Grounds this year. Easily the worst venue involved with The Fest.

A few thousand tickets are sold (generally around 2500-3000, I believe), plus about 1000-1500 comp tickets to band members, sponsors, press, etc., as well as a few hundred crusties/train hoppers/bike punks who make the trip down but don't buy a wristband, instead just annoying the fuck out of everyone for the weekend. So in total, it's about 5000 or so people. That line about the crusties is hilarious/true. I can't count the times some unkempt kid asked me for spare change over the weekend. My reply was always something along the lines of, "I'm in a goddamn wheelchair, how much money do you think I have?"

Speaking of which, a bunch of videos I shot are up at the Punknews Vimeo page. http://www.vimeo.com/punknews

haha thats awesome, what song did they cover "Tired of Sex". It was nuts. I got video of it, not sure how good the quality is.

1. Stay What You Are 2. Under The Boards 3. Through Being Cool 4. Can't Slow Down 5. Sound The Alarm 6. In Reverie Stay What You Are is a really important record to me, too; it's the one that got me into the band. Under The Boards is criminally underrated.
