HARD SKIN / FORGETTERS / THE RIVAL MOB / PERDITION on FRIDAY ***EARLY SHOW STARTS AT 6PM SHARP, OVER BY 10:30PM***


I have been waiting for Friday to come for a while now. Greg Daly called me and was like "Hard Skin need a show on October 22nd" my only reply was "DONE!" CMJ ain't going to slow me down. Robert came through on a very over booked weekend of crappy shows with the venue. Every lame stupid band in the country who is trying to make it has a show booked at all my favorite Venues. So HARD SKIN will make their triumphant return to the grater NYC/Brooklyn Area @ Europa.

If you don't know HARD SKIN are the best band on the planet. Do you like punk? do you like fun? do you like to drink? do you like to laugh? They got it all. Its like if the Cockney Rejects were the stars of every show on Comedy Central. Do not miss this band.

Only the best openers for HARD SKIN. 1st on the bill is NYC's own distorted noise punks PERDITION, A wall of noise with chaos vocals. Next up is Boston's own THE RIVAL MOB. This band can do no wrong. Catchy riffs, hard breakdowns, and some angry fucking vocals. The last bit of business before HARD SKIN go on are none other then FORGETTERS, fronted my Blake Schwarzenbach (Jawbreaker). New Band from Brooklyn that i am very excited to see.

but in all seriousness please read this next part very carefully, consider yourself notified.

***THIS SHOW STARTS AT 6:00PM SHARP. FIRST BAND ON AT 7:00PM THE SHOW HAS TO BE OVER BY 10:30PM***

Ok then, I will see you all on Friday.

RAW NERVE / MANIPULATION / PERDITION & CONCRETE CROSS THIS SATURDAY @ THE ACHERON!!!

Hello All, I actually went a week with out doing a show, and I didn't even make it out to any shows this weekend. So tired lately, kinda wish i caught COC yesterday tho.

So on Saturday we got a great show with some killer bands from Chicago. First off RAW NERVE will be back in town. I got to see this band in New Brunswick the last time they were though and they were great. The LP i picked up was great. Young bunch of energetic kids from Chi-town, make sure you check them out. I kinda strong armed RAW NERVE into bring my buddy Jordan and Bryan's band MANIPULATION to town with them. This band is made of people from THIS IS MY FIST, CHRONIC SEIZURE & THE PEDESTRIANS. Don't let their previous bands fool you nothing but cut throat angry hardcore punk here. They just put a 7" out on Fashionable Idiots.

Rounding out the bill is CONCRETE CROSS & PERDITION. CONCRETE CROSS is made up of ex members of Disnil and fronted by everyones favorite Zoom Media employee Artie Philie. Stiff little tone also plays in Sheer Terror now so don't fuck with him! CONCRETE CROSS are also playing with PERDITION on Thursday at Tommy's Tavern, also playing is KOWARD from Boston with dudes from BRAIN KILLER & SCAPEGOAT. PERDITION have also been added to this month's HARD SKIN show @ Europa (October 22nd) Oh I almost forgot CONCRETE CROSS is also playing with THE CANDY SNATCHERS on Friday at the THRASH BAR with a bunch of other bands.

See you all on Saturday. (And Thursday)
