Punk Rock Bowling hit Vegas for the 13th time. Hurrah!

Saturday the 28th the main acts at the outdoor stage were Stiff Little Fingers and Dropkick Murphys. For someone who is not a die hard DM fan, the songs all started to sound the same after the third one. They started with “Gangs All Here” moved onto “State of Massachusetts” then finished with “Kiss Me I’m Drunk”. They let a bunch of chicks mob the stage during the song. One of them flashed her titties…all right. After that dudes were allowed to get on stage too for a cover of AC/DC’s “TNT.”

Stiff Little Fingers put on a dope show! The classics were not left out, “Nobody’s Hero,” “Barbed Wire Love,” “Wasted Life” (performed with lots of energy) “Suspect Device” and “Alternative Ulster.” The crowd sang their hearts out. I was happy….they were happy….we were all happy.

Tonight, I went to see the Descendents. Sure the Bouncing Souls and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes were playing too, but I’m a mom. Who’s tired too often and has a never ending to-do list.
The show was bad ass. Milo kept a conversation with the crowd about some firecracker burger that was about to explode out of his mouth. Funny and amusing. They played a lot of new songs. Some of the oldies were, “Coffee Mug” “Hope” “I’m Not a Loser.” Anyways, I left before the encore was over. I was glad I went. It’s not like the Descendents haven’t played together in 10years…wait it is.
