In interesting punk news this week, a prehistoric species of bird was named after the band Lucero, and These Arms Are Snakes, who are easily in my top five favorite bands of all time, broke up. :( I am very bummed, but thankful that I was able to see them live twice and meet all of the band members except for vocalist Steve Snere. I think I will air the interview that I did with them again next week. RIP.
Good shows that you should go to this weekend:
January 15: Dinosaur Jr & Kurt Vile at Daniel Street in Milford. The show is 21+ and is $20 in advance or $22 at the door. Doors are at 8pm, I think.
January 16: Algernon Cadwallader (from Philadelphia) at the Vernon Teen Center in Vernon. 6pm, $5. Also playing with Chalk Talk (CT), Black Churches (MA), Ape Up (MA), Zona Mexicana (NY), Acres (NJ), Mad Men (MA)
