So this is pretty rad. Rancid front man Tim Armstrong did an improvised and pretty cool acoustic set at the Music 4 Cancer booth during this year’s Amnesia Rockfest. Apparently he just randomly walked across the street outside the Rockfest perimeter and jammed out a handful of classics with a little help from The Interrupters.
Check out the fan-filmed video below.
Do you guys remember when Flogging Molly put out music that made you want to dance a jig and mosh at the same time? Fast and aggressive enough to satisfy your rebellious soul yet folky enough to provide a depth sometimes lacking in more traditional punk rock? Those were the days. And I thought they were over until I stumbled across The Killigans. Hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska of all places, this six-some channel folk-punk as if they were spawned from the back of a gypsy caravan in the heart of the Old Country. Playing together since 2004, how they escaped my notice until now is beyond me, but let's not dwell on that. What's important is that they just released a new full-length titled "Dance On Your Grave" and I'm here today to tell you it is well worth a listen. Do so here.
I was there
I passed as I was on my way to see bigwig with a friend and my fiancé and I honestly couldn’t believe it.
In fact I’m the only only one that recognized him.
It was darker at the time and gosh I wish I had stuck around till the end but the 2 other duffus with me went on so I left too

That’s awesome! Saw in some comments that some dude was there for a minute then left cause his friends wanted to leave. Somebody would have to be dying for me to leave that lil set! And even then I might not leave!
