Music: Metal/Punk Rock

[Oaktavia]

I am currently reading NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories and my dudes I figured it would be crazy but these stories are insane. Punk as fuck to say the least.

I have a stack of books to read on my dresser and next in line is Do What You Want: The Story of Bad Religion.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia I’ve been wanting to read that NoFX book.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle I love NOFX but I was skeptical it would be worth the read. 100 pages in I 100% recommend.

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia that book is hilarious and disturbing in equal measures. Also recommend "Anarchy Evolution - Faith, Science and Bad Religion in a world without god" by Greg Graffin. Really interesting read

[Oaktavia]

@Tago-Mago I saw that one too and will add that to my list! Thanks

[Mizmazzle]

Any one listen to Thee Oh Sees (or any of the other spellings of their name)

[Aetas]

I do @Mizmazzle

@Aetas said in Music:

They changed their name often in the past years: Orinoka Crash Suite, OCS, Orange County Sound, The Ohsees, The Oh Sees, Thee Oh Sees and Oh Sees.

The concert was on ARTE, a French/German television channel. The link is broken, so you better go here:

good morning, happy St. Patrick's Day

[Oaktavia]

@Luijim78 hah thanks for reminding me it is St. Patrick's Day. 10 years ago I would be on my second or third shot of whiskey by now. 9am.

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey I’ve been trying to catch them live for years and years. They never seem to come to Denver…until now!! 9/11 at the Ogden!

[prpx]

@Mizmazzle - big fan of all iterations of thee oh sees

[Mizmazzle]

@prpx they’re so damn good!!

[popvulture]

Oh man nice, they’re good now. The 2 drummer setup is rad. I think this lineup is tied with the Petey Dammit / Brigid days for my fave.

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture have you seen them? I’ve heard their shows are crazy high energy.

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle probably a dozen times if I had to guess — for whatever reason they're almost like the official band of Austin, despite not being from here. Definitely super high energy, always worth going. Dwyer brings it. You'll enjoy!

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture hell yeah man. I’ve been a fan for like 7-8 years. Been trying to catch them seriously for about 5-6 years and their tours never come to Denver of all places. I almost went down to Albuquerque a couple times.

Except why do they have to be playing on a Wednesday night?? Don’t they know I have school in the morning? Weekday shows are so hard for this old man these days.

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle haha I feel ya, man. Hard to keep up with people on rock n' roll time — I know I sure struggle.

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle played Res Rocks in 2021!

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey whoa!! Not sure how I missed this!! Guess this was during pandemic times. Can’t believe they sold out Red Rocks (albeit with limited seating). Didn’t think they were that big. They’re playing the Ogden in September, which is obviously way smaller.
