Day 16: A song from the 1980s

Lower East Side. The LES was no fucking joke back in the day. I was no LES scenester but I went to CBGBs for probably 15 to 20 hard-core matinee in the 80s. (also a few times at the pyramid club, Tin Pan Alley and some of the larger venues like Irving Plaza)

Usually three bands for five bucks at CBs It was a big deal when it went up to six bucks. I will never forget how crazy and jampacked the place was for agnostic front and youth of today. It was either 84 or 85.

I totally remember being scared the first few times I went there, but hanging out outside you would just meet normal people, we had a lot of fun and every deli would sell you beer in a brown paper bag even tho I was only 16. Great daze!!

Day 17: A song from the 1990s

Lower East Side

My interest in hardcore waned a lot in the 90s. A lot of the bands started to sound alike. But Madball was one band from that era always fucking brought it. In fact, it was Roger from agnostic front little brother who is the singer.

Day 18: A song from the 2000s
Lower east side

A little change in pace from ultra extreme hardcore to Gypsy punk.

At the Jesse Malin Beacon Theater benefit, it was great to see singer, Eugene Hütz do an acoustic version of victim in pain with Jimmy G from Murphy’s Law.
