This was impressive. One of the main guys in the band- Nick Ripley(Guitar/vocals) was very sick and unable to perform (the viruses are really going around in Sac right now)… so they went ahead and performed as a 3 piece, with Pat on vocals for all the songs. I guess you can call this “Patstards of Young” ha ha, err.
You can tell that everyone really stepped it up to cover for Nick’s absence. Well done!

What a stacked lineup at Press Club this past Thursday for the Camp Fire benefit. Lightweight kicked it off with their catchy pop punk. Donny (Vocals) was eating honey in between songs- the only other person I have seen do that on stage is Debbie Gunn (Sentinel Beast). Gives you an idea of his vocal style.

Mob Rule was next up at the Camp Fire benefit. Half the band was sick, but you couldn’t tell once they hit the stage. Great performance with a bonus Ground Chuck appearance on the Judas Priest cover “Breaking the Law”

Since Justin now lives out of state, I try to make a point to attend any Polyorchids show that is announced. This was one of the best performances I have seen, and they played with a ton of energy. Sorry for the camera bouncing around a bit. I was rocking. and singing. Check out the new-ish album. It sounds amazing and the new songs are great!

This is what got me out of the house- I am a hopeless Misfits fan. I was duped into flying to Chicago to see Danzig and Doyle play a “one time only” show, then paid WAY TOO MUCH to see The Original Misfits in Las Vegas. At least I used my nerd glasses to video that one.
So I was curious to see how Vinnie would pull this off. I mean, how good could a misfits set be with an acoustic guitar? The answer is DAMNED GOOD. This was awesome. I had as much fun here as I did running from security in vegas. Well done, sir! I hope you don’t hear me singing along.
