I don't think I've ever felt more out of place.

I'm 22. All the kids were in high school.

It was also the strangest show I've been to. A ska band. An emo/hiphop band. An all black pop-punk band and an indy pop band.

I finally got a SM shirt though: [img]http://www.theriscgroup.com/riscstore/images/products/sm/clothing/shirts/tshirts/smshrt05.gif[/img]

I think I'm going to try to make a botar shirt using these images:

Nice. I should be getting a Common Rider shirt pretty soon. Peter those pictures would make a sweet shirt

Oh yeah. The Slackers are coming here on the 24th, and it's 21+ :mad:. There one of ym favorite bands and my first chance to see them for like a year is ruined because of alcohol!!

Thank you Peter.

A lot of the more traditional bands do 21+ shows.

They don't draw much of an underage crowd and people don't like to drink when there are a bunch of highschoolers around. The only way a club will book a band to play an all ages show is if they have a big enough draw to fill the club.

That said, I've never been to a 21+ show with a big headliner.

Haha, do you think if I get a hold of someone in The Slackers I can get them to let me pretend to be a roadie?

It couldn't hurt...

At the very least you could implore them to come back for an all ages show.

Was that a play on a Streetlight song?

Ha, no... I didn't even think about that.

[QUOTE=Black Ink]Streetlight Manifesto was amazing. Truely one of the best bands I have ever seen.[/QUOTE]

Yes, you f[SIZE=2]u[/SIZE]cking knows it mate :D They seriously are. I can't wait til they come back over the pond!!!!! :D

The pond? You bloody brits are bloody mad, matey.

Classic British understatement.

My Common Rider shirt is too big and it's going to cost like $5 to ship it back then pay for shipping again :o

Catch 22 with thomas > Streetlight.

I was reading this review of Streetlight Manifesto and some guy called Thomas "a disgrace to the music scene." and he went on to rant about how Thomas is the worst thing to happen to music and he can't write or sing for his life.

wtf

I love the slackers- "Keep him away" is awesome- Does anyone know of anything that sounds simillar that i'd like?

---btw that first post was really usefull for someone just getting into ska cheers kithkin--

New York Ska Jazz Ensamble
The Toasters
Chris Murray
The Pietasters
Jump with Joey
Hepcat

and more

Haha some lameass coffee commercial uses Our House in their commercials

Maxwell House?

That makes some sense. I've known that song for a very long time, didn't know it was a Madness song until recently though.

I hate coffee!

Thats silly. Coffee comes in as many flavors as... well... I guess Kool Aid?

I don't know. I don't drink much coffee, but I know there are a lot of different levels. Stop discriminating against beverage races! Thats not what ska is about!

Oh man, you're right. I gotta keep it two-tone

Da[size=2]mn[/size] straight.

I'm so two tone, I chase my black coffee with white cream!

Ahh, there's this song for this REALLY ANNOYING magazine (one of those crappy womens magazines) on TV called "Full House" and Madness have re-recorded Our House, so it's "Full House"...... I was like "YOU SELL OUTS :eek:" although I'm not sure I'm allowed to say that seeing as they're old.

On the subject of coffee, I'm afraid I have to join the rebel side of hating coffee. And tea... Sorry. :upset:

They slaughtered that song.

There are two shows on Thursday. Help me choose which one to go to

[U][URL=http://www.purevolume.com/nothingwasted]Nothing Wasted[/URL][/u]

-Christian (The bad kind I think)
-Cheaper than Fishbone- $8

VS.

[U]Fishbone/Slightly Stoopid[/U]

-$15!!
-Not Christian

Slightly Stoopid are the sh[SIZE=2]i[/SIZE]t. Fishbone are sweet too, so I would so go to that one, since I haven't even heard of Nothing Wasted.
