Bad Religion/Rise Against 05/10/11 Pop's Outdoors - Sauget, IL Words/Photos by BeeZnutZ   I love outdoor shows. They remind me of summer days spent outside seeing some of my favorite bands with good friends. When Rise Against announced they would be touring with Bad Religion I was sold. Even better the venue Pop's 24/7 in Sauget, IL was hosting the show outside, in the parking lot in between two nightclubs. The morning of the show was gloomy, rainy and anything but exceptional weather for an outdoor event. ... Read More

Unexpected! That is a good word to describe how it was to make sudden plans to head to Vintage Vinyl to meet Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips. He is currently on tour and was in St. Louis on the way to Detroit. The tour bus driver needed to rest so they picked to spend the day in St. Louis and made the most of it. I hurried in getting ready and rushed out the door to Vintage Vinyl. We are blessed in ... Read More

Last time Social Distortion came to town was a few years ago. I went on advice of a friend and had a great time. When they announced the Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes tour I didn't think I could go. Somehow I got the night off work. I love it when the venues post the set times on the website. Unlike most nights I really did not want to go see a show. However I hopped in the car and headed ...

That left me with the entire day to go see Reel ... Read More

Reel Big Fish/The Aquabats 11/14/10 The Pageant - St. Louis, MO Words/Photos/Videos by BeeZnutZ   It has almost been 10 years since I have been going to Reel Big Fish Shows.

Mostly at festivals or warped tours over the years. I had not had the chance to see a ... Read More
