These are chandeliers and shrines we came across. Its funny to see what your attracted to and take pictures of when your traveling. Keep checking back for other stuff!!
This is the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, PA. A rad group of people set up shows in the basement! This is the actual church part which doubles as the back stage for bands. Food and water in the pews!
This one was probably the best. I'm pretty sure it came from One Eyed Jacks in New Orleans, LA.
This is the hallway in a hotel we stayed at in San Diego, CA, it was a Ramado or Holiday Inn or something. The hotel is a converted from an old bank, the vaults were still there and other nice embellishments. Priceline.com is where its at! I couldn't rotate the picture for the life of me, just turn yr head.
This was at a club somewhere, sorry can't remember.
This is my friend Sarah's mom's house, she is a spiritual adviser and has a ton of Buddha statues and other relics from world travels. Sarah has done merch for a million bands, she was with High on Fire when I met her and now is working with Kylesa.
CRASS. I fucking love Crass. I guess I was in middle school and they were the first punk band I really cared about enough to buy all of there CDs (and Christ the Album on cassette). I'm not really sure why I didn't buy any Crass Vinyl, as I was buying some vinyl at the time, but whatever. I was mostly into the British "UK82" style and liked all those bands. In these years (late '90s), many of those bands were reforming and starting to tour the U.S. The SUBHUMANS and (Charged) GBH were a couple that actually came through Saint Petersburg, FL. I always wished I could have seen Crass.
Weeeellllll, as of mid-last year, Crass' original lead singer Steve Ignorant, has been performing Crass songs with a backing band known as the Last Supper. The name and tour signify a last hora for Steve and the songs and last chance to see and hear them played as close to original as its gonna get. The tour makes its way to the U.S. in March here is the schedule:
Thursday MARCH 10 New York, NY @ Santo's Party House Friday MARCH 11 Montreal, QC @ Le National Saturday MARCH 12 Toronto, ON @ The Opera House Sunday MARCH 13 Chicago, IL @ Logan Square Auditorium Wednesday MARCH 16 Seattle, WA @ Neumo's Thursday MARCH 17 San Francisco, CA @ Slim's Friday MARCH 18 Pomona, CA @ Fox Theater Tuesday March 22 Austin, TX @ Emo's THURSDAY MARCH 24 ATLANTA, GA @ MASQUERADE Friday March 25 Baltimore, MD @ Sonar
I'll be making my way to the Atlanta show. I'm not sure if its a complete schedule, there are some holes, but also long drives, and their old.
Here is the song "Bloody Revolutions", maybe my favorite. it was released in 1980 as a split 7" with the Poison Girls (their song "Persons Unknown" is also really good..actually all Crass bands are really good). The song gives you a good idea what the band is about and sounds like... its also pretty epic for a punk song with many different changes in timing, vocals and harmonies. Enjoy... and GO SEE CRASS!!
