Here's a couple of sets from the last all ages Monday Night Punk Rock at Red Eyed Fly. The other recordings were too dark, so I brought in a super bright 1000 watt light. I only had to use half of it, but it did the trick.

All Ages!
Well, I had no idea. Red Eyed Fly is all ages all the time. Great. All you youngsters that are the next wave of punk rockers(I'm talking to you Zacky Boothe), but can't get into the regular clubs, now is your time.
This week's Monday was kind of okay. Nobody wanted to step up to the Lightning Reaction until later in the night after the music stopped. Then it was a laugh riot. I'll bring it along on the 17th just in case there are any brave souls in the crowd.
Don't drive yet or don't have a car? Ride the bus!

Monday Night Punk Rock #2
From Publishers Weekly
Music journalist Bessman's closeness to his subject--he is a good friend of the members of the Ramones--has both positive and negative effects on his authorized history of this seminal American band, famous for knowing only three chords and for playing everything as fast as possible. Bessman has great access to details such as the Ramones's mistrust of the Talking Heads--"a bunch of intellectuals"--with whom they toured Europe. But it also means that he sometimes misses the ironies and inconsistencies in their behavior, like the fact that members of a band whose lyrics include the infamous line "Well I'm a Nazi, schatzi, you know, I fight for the fatherland" claimed that their work had no political content. The "four guys from Queens" who formed the original group in 1974 seem to have been truly without pretensions, which makes Bessman's overheated interpretation of their achingly simple lyrics just silly. Bessman's theory is that the Ramones were always poised on the brink of stardom but missed out due to the mistakes of others, i.e., the release of one of their best-known songs, Rockaway Beach , during the winter and the poor distribution of their only film, Rock 'n' Roll High School. Photos.Come down to Red Eyed Fly tonight and play Lightning Reaction for prizes. We will have more t shirts and this book about the Ramones. Good clean fun!
