I used to love my local scene, but after a while it began to piss me off. Mt best friend was in one of the bands on the local punk scene and we all went to see bands almost weekly, however I get really fed up with the attitude of most of the 'scenesters', they were just really snobbish and very up themselves. I think a scene is good but you should never pledge allegiance to one single scene, it will get you nowhere.

i saw aussie band superheist a year ago and they kicked ass. also i saw pacifier. good bands. metallica is coming to perth real soon but i wont be able to go

and apparently blink 182 is coming to a rock festival that i always go to this year.

I saw Pennywise play last night and damn, they know how to throw down.

The Mars Volta at All Tomarrow's Parties which was alot of mostly underground bands playing. It was the best show I've ever seen. They have so much energy and you get all wrapped up in it. They are great.

Lollapalooza has turned into a joke, so I feel somewhat chagrined to say that Lollapalooza '92 and '93 were two of the best concerts I've been to in my life. I had waaay too much fun at those shows, outside, slamming around in the mud with tons of crazy-lookin' fvckers at the height of the whole "alternative revolution" (or whatever). The lineups (that I saw) were...

Lollapalooza '92: The Jesus & Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, Ministry, Red Hot Chili Peppers (w/ Jim Rose Sideshow Circus on the side stage)

Lollapalooza '93: Rage Against The Machine, Tool, Front 242, Dinosaur Jr., Arrested Development, Fishbone, Alice In Chains, Primus

Also, I saw Sonic Youth and the Beastie Boys together in a small club in 1992. That was just insanely good.

punk show? well, ive never really been to an actual punk show but the closest would be seeing ...and you will know us by the trail of dead with theconstantines opening. fookin amazing show.

Oh yeah, it's supposed to be a punk show... Well, then I'd have to say Helmet and Jesus Lizard in '92.

Brand New, Straylight Run and Moneen last night was amazing! Best gig I've been too in a while!

I saw aphex twin last week, I think that was more punk than any band I have seen in years.

Yeah I saw the Twin a couple of years ago and had to leave during 54 cymru beats cuz I was soo fucked! The musics too smart to be punk though, the attitude is there though!
