new potential monthly punk night, pop-punk next month

To Be Hated has a show set up at Pulp Live! for next thursday. If enough people show up it'll be incentive for the club owners to have a punk night again. PBR specials and probably the lowest door charge for any given show ($4) is not too bad, plus it's in Fort Liquordale which is rare any day for a punk show.

Next month local old-school punk The Crumbs and The Ridicules play with Teenage Bottlerocket & Cobra Skulls at Respectables. Slammie is putting this one on, and i'm not sure why since I don't see many people come out to Respectables shows unless most of the attendees were there when the bands started. Meh; the bigger the bands booked the more SoFla looks like a respectable (heh heh) place for bigger events. And bigger events means more exposure and that's not a bad thing for the tiny little scene here.

Also, the Churchill's 30th Anniversary show was much bigger than I imagined. Some very fine acts and multiple pits means it was def. an overall good time. I just couldn't quite get the feel of the night and never jumped in (but I did get a nice tap to the nads by an exhuberant young man's shoes). Oh, and thanks North Miami-Dade police for being so cool about that thing.

Also - I just found out i've been giving out the wrong address for Churchill's for years. Google maps says its '501', it's really '5501'. Sucks to get lost in Little Haiti.
