Vans Warped Tour 2010 announces their shitty lineup
It has been debatable whether the Warped Tour has been worth going to since the start of the tour. This year looks like I might finally bow out and not attend. I usually like going just for the hell of it and to take pictures. But why bother taking photos of 3 or 4 bands that I might like when the rest of the lineup stinks? Looks like Kevin Lyman and the Warped Tour are catering to the kiddies again and not offering any older, and might I add better bands to the lineup. Where’s the Fat Wreck style bands? Some ska bands but not a lot. No veteran Warped Tour acts really besides 1 or 2. Out of that line up, I like Reel Big Fish, Deal’s Gone Bad, Sum 41 (a stretch) and The Reverend Peytons Big Damn Band. Maybe throw in 1 or 2 more bands in there? I don’t want to attend this, even when the tickets are FREE! This isn’t worth taking off of work for that’s for damn sure. See the crappy lineup below:

The Ska is Dead tour made a stop at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ yesterday. The main tour features The Toasters, Mustard Plug, Voodoo Glow Skulls and Deal’s Gone Bad. For this particular show, NJ ska fans were in for a treat since a few other bands were playing like the Pilfers and Hub City Stompers. It felt like a Ska Warped Tour to me.

Riot Fest 2009
The fifth annual Riot Fest took over five days and several venues and clubs in Chicago last week. From old school punks to newer acts playing, it was hard to choose which acts to see and which venue to see them at. Skipping Wednesday and Thursday night, I started off my first Riot Fest experience on Friday and saw the rest of the weekend through.

Deal’s Gone Bad
Since ska has seen better days, many ska bands have jumped ship and embraced swing. Yet, Deal’s Gone Bad seems to embrace sea shanties and pirate imagery. Would you say your new target audience is disillusioned ska kids, now looking for a life in piracy (the obvious “next big thing”)?
“Jumped Ship” – Clever! Bad ass as it might be, I don’t see the modern piracy scene really taking off like say… swing. For starters it’s really cost prohibitive, it generally goes down in far off places (air fare to Laos ain’t cheap!), you need a speed boat… machine gun… it’s high maintenance. And that don’t last – take a look at swing.
