Flag, TSOL, CB, FOD @ TROC September 18, 2013


The question asked was, "Which did you like better, Black Flag or Flag in 2013?"


If I had to pick one, I'd pick Flag. But, that said, making that decision is like picking your favorite individual dessert of all time, or like asking John Holmes which was the best time he had sex, or like asking an addict which was his favorite high?


Both shows were amazing. I thank everyone in each band for making this a reality in 2013. I am ecstatic that I seized the opportunity to witness both shows. 


They rank among the best shows that I can remember seeing in my life. 

Slayer (every time)
Poison Idea (in that Philly squat)
DOA (in that Philly abandoned building)
7 Seconds (abes)
YDI and Faction shows at G's Beef n Brew in Allentown
American Dream
COC / DRI @ West Catty 
Dead Kennedys @ West Catty
Spazz in Philly
Man is the Bastard in Philly
COC & Malefice in Philly
Superchunk and Velocity Girl many times
Laughing Hyenas @ Khyber Pass
Bimskalabim @ City Gardens
Sepultura @ Troc
Napalm Death (every time)
GG Allin at Wallys Bethlehem PA
Bad Manners @ City Gardens when they had like 10 brass and reed instruments on stage...
Government Issue, Dr. Know etc.. philly 1980 something
Suicidal Tendencies, Fang, 76% Uncertain etc... at New York South
AC/DC in Philly
Agnostic Front @ City Gardens
Nirvana at Maxwells
...you get the picture.

Opening the show was the legendary Flag of Democracy. Philadelphia hardcore legends who have been pummeling eardrums since the beginning of hardcore. It seems they are in the middle of reissuing all of their records in expanded format. 

Chuck (Flag) and Dave (FOD) (photo by Colin Markham)

I have been lucky enough to consider these gentlemen my friends for a very very long time. Thank you F.O.D. for always being there! Much appreciated!


Cerebral Ballzy was up second and I had never heard their music before this gig. Highlights were when they introduced a song about "skateboarding too fast" and another about "copious amounts of drugs".

Jack Grisham was amazing leading TSOL through so many classics. He said the last time TSOL shared a bill with Black Flag was in 1981, in a Long Beach backyard on 21st and Lime, down from Snoop's house.

I may or may not have seen T.S.O.L. in my lifetime (brain cells have failed me), but this was definitely a classic. The week before I played one of my favorite T.S.O.L. songs "Terrible People" on Up To No Good Radio thinking they wouldn't play it live, but they sure did (very happy), and followed it up right into "Superficial Love". Of course that got me thinking about Jeff Hanneman, the Slayer guitarist who passed away on May 2, 2013. Slayer covered "Abolish Government/Superficial Love" and many people have always wondered why I love punk, hardcore AND metal... Jeff understood the connection!

Flag killed. So many great songs. It looked like one of those rock awards shows where all the legends get on stage and jam. But this was a hardcore legends show.

Keith on vocals was spectacular. Every syllable was projected from his compact body like a demonic expulsion. Every muscle in his body contracts as he convincingly belts out those classic lyrics. I think everyone wants to be Chuck's friend. He looks like the coolest grandpa playing bass. Ripping it up with the energy of a teenager and the smile of someone who just found out the girl he likes, likes him back. Dez is a monster on guitar and vocals. Such a treat to get to see him put down the guitar and sing a few of the songs. Punishing to say the least. Bill on drums and Stephen on guitar are ALWAYS magic. And they played just about everything except "TV Party" (which is fine with me).


Keith Morris celebrated his birthday at the Trocadero Philadelphia show.
Jack from TSOL bringing his cake.
Thanks for sharing this moment with us.

Milo was in the crowd at the Philly show. He didn't hit the stage like he did in Baltimore. But I did awkwardly approach him, give him the thumbs up during Cerebral Ballzy's set and he shook my hand. Thanks Milo.

I have had the privilege of seeing Black Flag (with Rollins), Descendents, All, Circle Jerks, that Misfits/Black Flag thing... etc.. many, many, many times in my life, but tonight... this was extra special.

These are my bars. 
Concept was the "Six Pack" cover art and the "Thirsty and Miserable" lyrics...
 for my 22 year sobriety anniversary!

Abrasive Wheels "Skum" LP Rebel Sound


abrasive wheels
skum
rebel sound records

Abrasive Wheels “When The Punks Go Marching In” is a mandatory 1982 UK Punk record. Seriously, if you don’t own that record and you are somehow reading this, you need to stop and go buy that record.



Now that we have that covered, “Skum” was originally released digitally in 2009. Rebel Sound Records, which is a united effort by Black Hole and Skeletone Records, has seen fit to birth “Skum” in the preferred vinyl format.



“Skum” is 31 years from 1982. So yeah, it does not sound like "When The Punks Go Marching In". That said, it sounds much like modern day street punk. So the band that influenced so many mohawks for the last three decades, sounds much like the bands they influenced today!



Very melodic and very foul mouthed (it was tough for me to find a song to play on Up To No Good Radio I did not have to edit).  

Glad to see this see a vinyl issue. Available in green (my color), pink and black.

Cheers
Frank FOE

September 11 2001

This is a photo of my daughter and I 
on the deck of the Liberty Science Museum in NJ, 2001. 

My daughter always had a fascination with the NYC skyline.

It was the perfect picture. 



We had so much joy that day. 

Then... 

The towers ceased to exist less than 48 hours later.
