POISON SCOOTER

The Fest V is coming!!

Forget the damn Warped Tour, The Fest V is the bizz. In October the real punk rock community gathers in Gainesville, Florida in a series of six bars to hammer Pabst, Sparks and cheap whiskey and memorialize the assembly of underground music’s finest. I attended my first last year and barely made it home alive . A couple of the Dillinger Four boys, who will be triumphantly returning as this years headliners, stayed in my room which was littered with cans of High-Life and cocaine residue after the three night party. I have every intention of stepping up for a repeat this year. The band listing for the most incredible annual punk rock festival was released this week with some fuck-your-ass awesome bands on the bill. The aforementioned Dillinger Four is accompanied this year by The Lawrence Arms who’s album Oh Calcutta is my pick for album of the year (followed very closely by Denton TX‘s own Riverboat Gamblers). Indie legends Minus the Bear and Florida hero’s Radon have also found there way on to the bill again. Add Lifetime, Toys That Kill , Tiltwheel, The Loved Ones, and The Ergs and you’ve got a hell of a bill. That’s less than ten of the over 160 bands that are scheduled for this year. Holy Shit!!! My heads spinning. The weekend pass is like $50 so your not getting raped or anything. So if your game, clear your schedules October 27,28, and 29 and meet me in Gainesville for a recockulously good time.
