I was lucky enough to be able to attend Punk Rock Bowling this year, and as such I feel it is my duty and obligation to give a little glimpse of what fans are missing. Dying Scene is on the ground here in Vegas, covering the festivities, and you can be sure we will be posting updates as the weekend forges on.As we speak, bands are playing, and mayhem is ensuing on day 2 of this three day weekend. Day 1 saw many acts including Off With Their Heads, Krum Bums, Filthy Theiving Bastards, The Aggrolites, Stiff Little Fingers, and headliners Dropkick Murphys. The desert sun did little to keep fans away, and as the day went on, the venue filled up, the beer was poured, and some great songs were sung. I could sit here and tell you all about the setlists, but I have more bands to see and shots to take, so I will keep my report short. Included in this story are shots of each band listed, in consecutive order.
At the end of the festival shows, I was able to check out the legendary Jamaican ska band, The Skatalites, and after what seemed like an eternity of technical problems, they finally rocked the stage. Pictures of that after-hours show will be posted shortly, however it is now time for me to get drunk and take more photos.
