    • The Woggles always kill it. I first saw them in Tuscaloosa , Alabama in '93 or '94. I've always caught them in Chicago (They usually sleep on my floor......But , I  put the shotgun away so they could get up and  go to the bathroom) until the other night....I spoke to Patrick , the Bass player, before they got to town , though. They had'nt played here in a long time . About eight years? How did itgo? (Please , have an interpreter transcribe the ROBBLE , ROBBLE, thanks.)

    • I caught the St Louis show.  I hadn't seen them in a decade.  They played to about 12 people but rocked like it was 1200.  They're one of the best live bands I've seen.  I'd compare them to the Fleshtones in that regard (who are playing StL next month).

    • So excited to finally be seeing the Stooges!  They're headlining Saturday.  Naturally I have an idea what time they go on.  But the rest of the bands I want to see could either be way early on the main stage or late at night on a smaller stage.  Oh the "joy" of all day music fests.....

      I know Kim Lenz play at 10pm.  Other than that...no clue!

      Anyone have a hookup for the set times?

    • Rally is 19th-21st. The Idle Gossip are live on the 20th.

      Save the weekend. Get ready for one of the best scooter rallies on the East Coast. Brought to you by the Turnbull DCs.

      If you were there last year, you know how awesome it was. If you weren't, here's some of the things you can look forward to: gymkhana, dirt tracks, live bands, beer, BBQ and tons more food, great camping, cabins (if you sign up early), a great dining hall, swimming hole with a 30 foot slide, an awesome ride, tons of raffle prizes (including an awesome scooter), a great scenic view, and tons of epic craziness.

      More information coming!!!

    • They could trade a Hendrix song for "Every Night a New Surprise.". I know , how incorrect !I mean, we know Jimi was a big supporter of the group , and that's great , but , we've heard these songs a zillion times. If you're going to make people pay $65 , give 'em some more surprises. Even Zakary Thaks (Sorry for the earlier spelling) nailed "You're Gonna Miss Me " and "Levitation", tho' it seems everyone disagreed.

      The more I take it in , admitedly second hand , I wish they'd lose the Hendrix covers and try a little harder not to sound like ZZ Top , though it's exciting this is happening at all.

      As far as other Texas Garage bands that tried again , Kenny and The Kasuals are TIGHT LIKE THAT, but they are'nt taking too much stock in their many great originals. Same with Larry and The Blue Notes. I saw them in '86 OR '87 . They PLAYED great , but , no originals , virtually nuthin' that could be called Garage Rock.  Zakary THAX WERE REET BY ME , THO' NONE OF MY FRIENDS AGRED.

      Joining The Stents will be DC rock genius Jake Starr and The Delicious Fullness (members of Thee Lexington Arrows, Hall Monitors, Phobes) and headlining is the one and only Deniz Tek (Radio Birdman, natch)!

      To add to the general awesomeness of this night The Stents will be debuting their killer new green vinyl Limbs b/w Rodeo single on Hidden Volume Stereo Sounds. For sale the first time ANYWHERE! Be sure you get this limited edition slab before they're gone.

      Hope we see ya there.

    • Don't worry about it, Mike! I'm just a beer geek who happens to live here, so beer-ese from anywhere is OK wit' me! You're one of the few punks here who talk of more than music, which is way cool with me.

      Yeah, I do like Shiner Bock, but (O God, here it comes) I could swear it tasted maltier back in the 1980's! Hope they didn't change the recipe!

      Another thing about it: for about a decade it's been owned by the folks in the Pearl, BridgePort! Small world, innit?

      Yeah, bring on some Spanish and Italian beers I say, I always enjoy learning about other types/brands of beers from places reknown for wine!

      Estrella is from Barcelona. It's everywhere in Spain along with Cruz Campo, Mahou (spelling?) and Alhambra. Never see anyone really rave aout them, they are I guess a bit like the Buds & Millers of Spain, but I really like all those Spanish beers. Easy drinking but with some flavor to them. Bohemia & Negra, those would probably be some of my go to beers especially on tap. And you being from Texas, how about Shiner Bock? I like that one. They have it on tap at one of the local bar/clubs here. Sorry, Dave, I know this post is supposed to be about Portland beers.
