SUBCULTURE DECEMBER


SUBCULTURE by wendythirteen

Last month, we lost Canadian punk rocker Nev the Impaler... Neil Robert Burns was an original member and guitar player for The Dayglo Abortions... There will be a memorial show on Friday, December 13th at Funkys to celebrate his life... The Dayglos are playing and there will be a jam / tribute / spoken word aspect to the show during intermissions and just before the Dayglos take the stage... We will also be having a raffle 50/50 type of thing full of band merch and other goodies to raise a bit of dough for his daughter Jules, whom he had just reconnected with when she moved out here recently... I'm glad they had that time before his passing... On that day, Nev had been jamming and recording, doing what he loved... If any bands/artists want to donate some stuff to the raffle get a hold of Deborah or me or just bring the stuff to the show and we'll add it to the prize pack...

CASUALTIES, DAYGLO ABORTIONS

Rickshaw Theatre - April 11, 2013


NYC Casualties launched off with “My Blood, My Life, Always Forward,” from their new LP Resistance. Front man Jorge led the pandemonium provoking punx to move beyond the barricades with songs from On The Front Line, For The Punx, Diehards, and Underground Army albums from 1997 onwards.

 Despite the fact that these streetpunks just released on metal label Season of the Mist, there was no shortage of a charged mosh at this show. Finishing off with ‘97 anthem "RIOT" and the words to “We Are All We Have Tonight” inciting a sing-along that will ring true and in your head for days to come.
