Switchblades and Urethane music festival – Long Beach, California

Skaters are just naturally creative. Every time we step on a board we are creating something by pushing and doing a trick. We see the world differently than the rest of the world. We see objects in the street and think, “damn, I need to skate that”! So it’s just makes sense that many skaters have picked up an instrument and formed bands. We need to express our artistic and creative nature through these avenues. “Switch Blades and Urethane” fest is just an extension of that unison between skaters and music.

US BOMBS Berlin. December 5th, 2010

Last weekend I was up in Berlin and I went to check out the US Bombs at this punk rock hall in Kreuzberg called FESTSAAL. Everyone else flaked out on going with me (too tired, too hung over) so I went alone and damn glad I went. Front row, sick show and a few cheap 80 cent half liter beers with some Berlin Punks out front in the cold. Duane Peters was in fine form, rockin’ out, dancing, and pounding Red Bulls. They even played one of my favs for the encore, “Ballad of Sid”. I took the set list for a souvenir and these photos for your enjoyment, since you obviously missed the show.
