Ministry Make Ears Bleed at Punk Rock Bowling Club Show

I was on the fence about attending Punk Rock Bowling this year. It’s been 4 years in a row and when you have a wife and kids, it’s an exercise of manipulation and selfishness to leave your family every Memorial Day weekend. “Honey, but it’s work!” So as I was

Family, Friends, FIDLAR: A Punk Rock Love Fest at The Observatory

I was finally going to see FIDLAR at The Observatory for a non-festival type show and I couldn’t have been more thrilled. Disclaimer: I’m totally one of those fans with FIDLAR tattooed above my knee.   I entered the Observatory in the middle of No Parents’ set surprised to see
