Friday! March 18th! 2011!

Star Fucking Hipsters

Hipster Death Machine, Reel-A-Peel, Masters of the Universe

7 PM, $10 - The Rex Theater, 1602 East Carson St. Pittsburgh, PA 15203

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo8waGM0OMQ - 3000 Miles Away video (which is hilarious, by the way)

So I may or may not be at this.  It’s been a while since I’ve been into the Choking Victim/Leftover Crack scene.  I’ve never felt… punk enough?  Maybe it’s my predilection towards soap.  I’ll still throw No Gods/No Managers in from time to time but I won’t lie, I’ve not really looked into SFH much and after the first record, I kind of fell away from Leftover Crack as well.  Regardless, it could very well be a fun show.

Rumor on the street is that Mikey from The Ergs recently joined up on the drums.

Wharf Rats!

So our admin Jeff (LIVEFASTDIEAWESOME) was pretty stoked about this news and wanted to share it with all of you fine people.

Chris #2 of Pittsburgh’s Anti-Flag and P.O.S. from Minneapolis hip hop collective Doomtree have paired up as Wharf Rats.  They apparently came together and recorded a couple of songs on the Warped Tour and plan to issue the songs as a limited edition 7” on No Sleep Records on May 31st.  Hopefully they’ll collaborate together again in the future!

If you want to hear a track from the 7”, click the link below.  And then go up top and follow all of the above on Twitter.  And then buy their collective discographies.

Hear the new record by the World/Inferno Friendship Society

The World/Inferno Friendship Society from Brooklyn New York have invited you to hear their new record in its entirety - for free - simply by clicking here. I recommend it highly.

And then navigate yourself towards www.worldinferno.com or www.chunksaah.com and pick it up!

- Jeff

“The newest collection of orchestral rants from the world’s premier gang of anarchist glamour ghouls.


With a full horn section, baby grand piano, punk guitar, 5 string bass and dueling male and female vocals-freedom fightin; the punk-as-world-music cult channels Phillip K. Dick, Kurt Weill and Jonathan Richman on their 13th release.

Pushing boundaries, grudges, genres, heartstrings and parole conditions from the cow-punk thump of track “Disarming Smile” to the heartbreaking samba of “13 Years Without Peter King;” Anarchy and The Ecstasy shows Inferno with a refined songwriting style and virtuosic playing. Plus the attitude you’ve come to expect from the kids in “I Am Sick of People Being Sick of My Shit”.

For people who like: dressing up and breaking things, red wine, sustainable rebellion, stage-diving and a better world.”

To sway your decision in favor of going to see Laura Stevenson & the Cans tonight.

Also, Fuck Yeah Dinosaurs is playing this show.  If that band name alone doesn’t sell you on dropping $5 for the show, you’re a lost cause.
