Yesterday, the Wanderers brought the house down at Reggie’s when they played alongside hardcore legends Sheer Terror. Here are a handful of shots from the show.

Against Me at Metro June 17

About two weeks ago, I managed to nab a few photos of the Against Me! show at the Metro on June 17th. Unfortunately, due to some of my own logistical inconsistencies I wasn’t able to get behind the barricade to get proper shots, but these ones I still think capture the spirit and energy of the show.

About a month ago, I had the fortune of seeing these guys at Krazyfest. Not long after their set I wrote: “Rarely have I seen a band that looks like they’re having that much fun playing live. I’m pretty sure these dudes had shit eating grins on their faces for their entire set. It’s always lovely when people drop the pretense and just have a good time.”

That holds true for the Metro set as well. We like to talk about how much better things were “back in the day” sometimes – and they may or may not have been. But our memories tend to be rosy colored, and sometimes we forget how good things can be today, if we appreciate them for what they are.

For the next week, I’ll be taking a little break from my usual ranting about politics to (hopefully) bring you coverage of Krazyfest, a three day hardcore/punk fest in Louisville, Kentucky. The fest ran for about 6 years back in the late 90′s/early aught’s and was cause for people far and wide to travel to see an always incredible lineup of bands. Some wonderful souls decided to revive the fest and this year’s lineup is filled with old favorites for old farts like myself as well as plenty of bands I have yet to have the fortune of hearing.

If all goes to plan, this weekend into next week I’ll be bringing you photos, interviews, recaps and even some video via this website as well as Chicagoist, my Tumblr and maybe a few other outlets I have yet to figure out exactly. Keep your eyes and ears open and if you happen to bump into me in Louisville, say hello.
