I agree with the others more punk bands are needed for this to be a good show (in my point of view) - Sun, 31 Aug 2003 9:09am

AK-47 is definitely punk. Most other bands on there are definitely not. Not trying to start argument over what's punk or not. Just think the name is not very fitting to the show, and is more likely being used just for the sake of attracting the local punk rock kids to the show even though it's not a punk rock show. - Sun, 31 Aug 2003 1:06pm

While I personally agree that in my eyes the only punk band on the bill are ak-47 who's to say their the only ones. Moneyshots not punk? Maybe not in my eyes but who says my opinion, or yours for that matter are the only ones that count. Punk rock was supposed to be all about personal expression, so what makes your personal expression more valid than somebody elses? - Sun, 31 Aug 2003 9:43pm

Shin Dig = September 20th

The name was not ment to trick people into coming to see a show they don't want to see. If ya dig the bands come check it out, if ya don't dig the bands, then go check out a show where you do dig the bands.

I personally think some of the bands on the bill fall into the catagory of "punk" in at least a broad sence. Weather you think the same or not is up to you, however I do think that it will be an excelent show and hope to see some of you there, maybe. =) - Tue, 2 Sep 2003 1:52am

I think that the name is pretty arogant, but Punk is pretty arrogant. - Mon, 8 Sep 2003 6:42pm
