NEWS: CITIZENS ARREST, MIND ERASER THIS FIRDAY! & NICK POOT MEMORIAL SHOWS

It has been a while, I have been supper busy with work and traveling the past few weeks. The only show I was able to make it out to lately was the Sheer Terror, Breakdown, Templars & Rival Mob gig a few Sundays back. Oh yeah i also saw a pretty violent Templars show while i was down in Austin TX visting family and friends.

First off, This fir day is the CITIZENS ARREST reunion show w/ ASSHOLE PARADE & MIND ERASER. Pretty damn stoked about this. I heard they played a show in Long Island while i was down in Texas. News to me. Should be a Banger for shore. Please note MIND ERASER is playing first so if you want to see them get to the show on time. They haven't played the area in a while and won't be playing much in the next few months so make it down on time. ASSHOLE PARADE
are flying in from Florida and Denver, CXA was pretty influential on them so they are very honored and amped on playing these shows.

THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT!!!, I HAVE NO GUEST LIST SPOTS. The only thing i can say if you HAVE tickets and ARE NOT coming to the show please E-mail me: hardcoregigvolume@gmail.com. I'm sure i can get someone to pay you for them. (Even if they are Will Call i can change the names on the list) With that being said if you need tickets just drop me an e-mail, I will get you in touch with some people who need to sell their tickets

Nick Poot R.I.P.

As alot of you already know by now mine and your dear friend Nick Poot passed away on November 24th. I was lucky enough to make it up to New Hampshire to see him in his last days. I have dealt with a lot of loss in my life, many aunts and uncles, grand parents even my estranged father passed away last year. None of that could of prepared me for the loss of a great friend such as Nick. Even as i sit her typing this it is hard to hold back the tears. I have never lost a buddy before and I hope I never have to again. Nick's life was to short, it wasn't his fault, but he lived his life the way he wanted to. He worked as a cook in a restaurant because he wanted to. He wore a studded jacket, listened to Discharge, played in Bands because he was punk. He did what he wanted in the time he was given. I think we can all take comfort in that and the fact he spent his last days with his amazingly Loving family (Tim, Barbra, Jeff Poot & Kristy) and his friends from all spans of his life from High School, to St Louis, to Boston, to Brooklyn. Live your life the way Nick lived his, do what makes you happy. Life can be too short. I'll miss you always friend. Rest Peacefully.

I didn't mean to bum anyone out i just feel like i need to write something about my dear friend, becasue i will never forget him.

Amelia put together a few Memorial / Benfit shows for Nick Poot coming up in January. I think we can all agree that Nick would of wanted us all to celebrate his life and pay our last respects in this fashion. Thank you Amelia for doing all the Leg work on this.

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.

HARDCORE GIG VOLUME # 132

HARD SKIN - Best Band! Don't miss this show!

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)
