Citycop brings raw and aggressive emotion to the stage. They play hard and fast and don’t slow down until it’s done. Their EP ‘Seasons’ is one of my favorite releases from a midwest band in recent memory, and they will be bringing their brand new split with Les Doux with them. They have played in town a couple times before so I’m sure a few of you know what their live performance is like, get a friend out to the show to experience it!

179683_152070268182290_7601825_n
On tour with CC is Shark Bait from Lafayette, LA, with their brand new album ‘Phantom Feelings’. Their style, I would say, is almost on the verge of shoegaze with the intensity of a punk band, yet reserved in a way.

Local support for the evening will be:
The Reptilian
Statia
Bagheera (SJ/BH)

BRING DONATIONS FOR GAS!! 9pm at Touchdown City. Message a host on the event for the address. Be respectful of the house and people.

IBF, That’s Blood, EATEC, Lost in Translation 9/12

TONIGHT, your friendly neighborhood punks will taking over Papa Pete’s once more.

The lineup for the night is:

Lost in Translation
One of my favorites in town right now.  Technical, laid back, and somewhat of an atmospheric feels to it.  Their guitarist is ridiculous also.  Here is my favorite jam by them.

That’s Blood
For fans of Fall of Troy and Fear Before.  Strange brand of metal and punk.

Everyone and Their Empty Cups
Wasted and grungy.

Inflatable Best Friend
Lighting Bolt meets Nirvana. Speed up the Nirvana, slow down the Lightning Bolt.

9 pm. 5 bucks. 18+ Go eat some bomb ass pizza and listen to punk rock.

The final Village Castle show, Sat. 8/4.

Ahhhh the memories I have of Village Castle.  Going to the first show
there, seeing Ackley Kid and SATANIZED in the basement, and playing
with Not the Wind, Not the Flag, Batcave, and Inflatable Best Friend;
I will miss this place.  It is going out with a bang, and it is not to
be missed.  The lineup is:

Sinatra from D.C.  Math and noodle driven in the vein of Forever and
Always and old Native.  http://sinatradc.bandcamp.com

Au Revoir from NJ.  Driving and heavy post rock/metal.  ie: Russian
Circles, Deadhorse  http://aurevoirit.bandcamp.com

AILAT from Lansing.  Power/nerd metal.  Beware, shred ahead.
