We got into our first moshpit at a Suicidal Tendencies show in the late 80s. Before we could even lick our wounds, we were lured into another one at an Anthrax show in Japan that left us bruised and scarred for months. And after getting into a slash pit (a mosh pit with sharp objects) at a Slayer show that ended with us getting eighteen stitches on our head, we knew we were hooked. The addictive nature of crashing one's body into others is a strange phenomenon and even now with our Benjamin Button-like elderly frame, we still long for the days of getting tossed around a little.
And so the day has finally come. On Friday, we've invited a few of our favorite local punk bands for a little cocktail party throwdown at pehrspace and you're all invited. Granted, the closest thing we've seen to a moshpit at a Monolators show was Eli Monolator busting his own head on one of those cherub things on The Bordello stage. Still, that qualifies as pretty punk rock in punk rock 101. As for Audacity, Woah Hunx, Okie Dokie, and UV Lights, their recent shows at the Vermont House, The Smell, L'KEG, and other fine establishment have informed us that you might wanna wear a helmet (and a cup) for this one.
This is our first all-punk lineup in a few years and we couldn't be more excited. Hope to see you there.
