• Tonight! Warped Tour Pre-Party

  Tonight the Glass House will be hosting the Warped Tour Pre-Party with Gallows and Big D And The Kids Table. For those of you who just absolutely cannot wait, the show will be just a teeny taste of one of the years most anticipated tours. Both bands playing tonight will be with the Tour during the majority of its duration. Kicking off tomorrow at the Pomona Fairgrounds, the Warped Tour will make a big ass circle around the country (and select cities in Canada) before finishing back in So Cal a

• Flipper news

  San Francisco punk/art/noise band Flipper has lots of news to share. I'd tell you all about it, but they already did on their myspace page. For those too lazy to leave this site, I'll copy and paste the info.   And for those even lazier, the jist of it is this: Two new records out soon. One is all new, the other is live. They also have a new bass player.   Here's the actual text. "The new albums are coming out on May 19th. MVD Audio is releasing world wide, except for Australia / New

• TONIGHT: Riverboat Gamblers at Detroit Bar

  Yes, it's not a state secret...Wednesdays are boring. Usually. But then again, there's always room for surprises. Like the whoop-ass Texas-born punk of The Riverboat Gamblers. Passing through California on a west coast stint, this furiously energetic tattooed five piece makes a stop at Detroit Bar, shocker.  Known for their Warped Tour-tested sound of brash, driving guitars, there's few crowds that can manage to stand still during an RBG set. Actually, if you try to, front man Mike Wiebe (

Why is it called that, you ask? Let's see what Dustin Kensrue has to say via press release!

• New Albums for Three Warped Tour Bands

  Before they embark on the Warped Tour's maiden voyage to Pomona, there's one major house keeping issue that some bands chose to attend to before traveling all over the country playing to thousands. That usually involves cranking out a new album. Tomorrow, three of the tour's bands are releasing new material for die hard fans and downloaders alike. Veteran punks  Anit-Flag (pictured) release their eighth full -ength album of politically-driven protest anthems titled People or the Gun on Side

• What A Hoot!

  Saturday was the annual rockabilly festival Hootenanny in Irvine, and I had a rockin' good time. There were tons of people, but not in the overwhelming I'm-going-to-die-of-heatstroke-and-no-one-will-find-me way of, say, Warped Tour or Coachella. People could actually find spots in the shade. Lots of foxy boys (I left my taste for pomps back in the late '90s, but hey! "When in Rome" . . . ) The music sets were brief and efficient, 30 minutes and right on time. Lots of vendors selling delicio

• Flier of the Week: Walk the Rio (and Set to Sea!) at Warped Tour

  ​This isn't the prettiest or the most creative flier that we've ever featured on Flier of the Week; it's really just Photoshopped stock crowd photos and a bunch of logos. What makes this flier important is the information it relays: that Walk the Rio, a dancey/rock electronica band from the city or Orange, were one of four bands to win the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands--meaning they've earned a spot at the final 2009 date of the Vans Warped Tour this Sunday, at the Home Depot Center in Carson

• How I Almost Attended Warped Tour 2009

  Robert FayetteMy biggest media hero is Howard Stern. There are many valuable lessons one can take from him, but probably the biggest is simply how honest he is with his audience. In the old days of radio, the rule of thumb was that even if the building was on fire while you were on air, you would never let anyone listening know--you would just plow forward and keep acting like everything is fine. Stern, of course, changed all that. If something fell down in the studio and made a weird noise on-a
