Ben Weasel is a little bitch.

I miss violence at punk shows. It made them exciting.

Same weekend as the Blackout.

RUMBLE!!!

[Danarky]

Apparently Teenage Bottlerocket also dropped off of the show.  I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch more groups did the same.

Pink Reason will gladly play, if we can have a chunk of that mega-loot.

You don't get $25,000 a show by paying your opening bands.

[Danarky]

It would actually be pretty fucking awesome to see Pink Reason playing that show in front of all those pop punk dorks.  Take freaking out the squares to a whole new level.

"Pink Reason's set included spirited Beatnik Termites and Vindictives covers.  The set culminated with Kevy Failure throwing a pinata filled with Cherry Coke and Twizzlers at the crowd.  Just one of the many tasty treats offered up at Weasel Fest 2011."

Pop-Punk Violence. 

Open letter to Screeching Ben Weasel: 

Look, mang, you can't go around treating the public like it's your own personal pinata.  Sooner or later, the public will burst and shower you with semen.

Unless it's a lady pinata, in which case, you got nothing to lose.

Yeah, over 40 grand for Riot Fest? Is that shitpile that big? And how much are tickets?

How much is Screeching Weasel fleecing "the kids" for thee days??

i dicked myself over and accidentally paid for the whole weekend so i could see dead milkmen twice, butthole surfers and apocalypse hoboken. it cost me a lot of money... over 100 bucks. they also had this thing where even if you had the bracelet you paid over 100 for, two of the shows i was going to i might not have been able to get in unless i showed up early enough... if the did other tix sales that would have filled the capacity. it was stupid. riot fest is stupid. i did NOT go on the last day when screeching weasel played (alkaline trio teenage fans were there waiting at the congress theater at like 8 am or earlier.. for a 6 pm show) and i kinda wanted to see them cuz i used to be into them somewhat when i was a teenager, but yeah, whatever.

POCK ROCK

ALSO: SXSW must have really sucked dick this year if Ben Weasel punching a girl was the most exciting thing that happened.

Impossible. You would need to draw 1000 people at $40 a pop and that is not paying the venue or other bands, just SW. Ben Weasel is not only a WOMAN BEATER but he is also a LIAR.

I just had to check into the 40k claim, not true. The amount has a some zeros added at the end.

too many kids in Chicago eat this shit up, somebody has to let them know that 1986-1996 is not a constant loop in time

always thought of the Queers (sans Wimpy) as a poor mans screeching weasal.

I would disagree. I guess it's the influence of the Beach Boys and 60's bubblegum on the Queers that really separates the two for me. Also the fact that they always kept the songwriting as bare essentialy simple as possible -- like Joey Levine. The Queers would never try to write a song like "Science of Myth" or whatever.

And of course, I only like the post-Wimpy stuff up to a certain point.

cosigned.

oh yeah, forgot to mention, this stupid shit headlined the fucking news in austin, they covered it even before they mentioned libya...  that and a riot at a free strokes concert...
