This seems as good a place to ask this question:
What is the name of that skate video, where it has the one break where the guy progressively inflict damage to himself? He uses a stun gun and a taser, and all this other stuff, then he goes for the 9mm....
Anybody know?

I grew up listening to three great bands; Ramones, Stiff Little Fingers and Bruce Springsteen. I'm just waiting for the SLF to release a take on John Hardy...
My favourite Ramones song was 'Sheena is a punk rocker' and Lobotomy and 'every time I eat vegetables it makes me think of you'... Quality music... Days gone by.

I'm an old punk too that picked up the banjo. I bought the Earl Lee Grace album when it came out (I was interviewing Eddie Spaghetti and Flying Eagle of Supersuckers at a club for my fanzine, and they told me about it), and it's great. I don't think it's all Dwarves, just Blag having a side project. I think though that it's the energetic three chord catchy simplicity that ignites something in a punk rocker's mind... The band I'm in, The Let's Go's, have laid down a couple of tracks where I play the banjo, and if we manage to finalize things to release the songs as our third album, I hope they make the cut.
I agree that punk is not dead, and there seem to be more bands coming up that have realized the beauty of the "modpunk" style of the late seventies and early eighties.

Punk and hardcore punk are my favourite styles....I got into country a few years back and bluegrass and folk about 2 years ago.
Both are simplistic music with similiar lyrical themes...just the context has changed...Country and folk has often mixed with punk as has reagge. The punk band Social Distortion pushed this further by covering Cash's Ring of Fire, the Vandals were originally desrcibed as cow-punk cos of a country twist to their punk rock. Country and folk were often styles choosen by bands that moved on from punk as they matured, as is R n R and rockabilly.
A musical theorist said that the closest thing to punk were folk styles due to the simplistic 3-chrod structure.
But there will always be some kind of music made by the average Joe for the average Joe....Folk, Country, R 'n' R, Punk, Oi etc etc. The sound changes with technology and social situations can effect the lyrical content and fashion, but the core is still the same.
Maybe I should stop reading boring sociology books.

Maybe I"m stating the obvious here but I haven't seen it come up yet. I assume everyone reading this is a fan of Split Lip Rayfield? If not you soon will be, based on the tastes everyone is sharing here. They are a seminal punkgrass band from Wichita, Kansas (don't ever let anyone tell you they're from Lawrence) who heavily impacted the lives of an entire generation of Kansas kids. They cut their teeth playing Stage 5 at Winfield. They would take the stage and pour forth their high-octane blend of Ralph Stanley meets Slayer. I'll never forget those nights at Stage 5, SLR up there in their wife-beater T-shirts, crew cuts, cigarettes clinched angrily between their teeth . . . those nights had a very strong feeling that we were at ground zero of something hugely significant in popular culture. Now the campgrounds at Winfield are crawling with bands made up of small-town Kansas kids whose main influence is SLR. This past year, everyone knew that SLR band member Kirk Rundstrom was sick with cancer and that this would probably be the last time they would play Stage 5 with him. They were set to play midnight Friday (or was it Saturday??). Word spread through the camps like wildfire and the place was absolute chaos when the band came on. Out of all my teenage and later years hanging around Stage 5 I have never seen anything like it. The band maintained absolute stoicism 'till the end, finishing up with "Kiss of Death." There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Kirk just passed away the other day. Was anybody else there?
DKB - Posted - 03/19/2007: 21:24:09
I love split lip rayfield as well. I knew that guy was sick but I did no know he died. I was just starting to get into those guys. Along those same lines is a band called the dustbowl cavaliers. They do tenacious d songs.

I saw Slayer for the 5th time a few months ago (and they're still amazing).
Now I can't get the thought of Tom Araya with full size stand up bass/ and Kerry King with, what, maybe a mando? out of my head
"It ain't over yet - as long as you keep moving, they can't throw dirt on ya"

Bloodybill - Posted - 03/20/2007: 10:15:17
Punk is folk music. It is urban folk. Each song has a story to tell, and more likely than not will involve some social or political issue. The music comes from "the people" and is not manufactured in some corporate office with the principal intent of just selling albums.
I like that Split Lip Rayfield, too bad about their guitar player, very sad. I need to get one of their albums.

This SLR has got my curiosity, gotta check 'em out. Did they have a drummer? I've always thought Bluegrass with a double kick bass drum would just be crazy. I can see the mosh pit now!

No, they don't have a drummer, just traditional instrumentation, banjo, guitar, mando, and bass. The bass that the guy plays is a single string homemade one that he made out of the gas tank of a car. It's great. Kirk was their mandolin player. And the band is not defunct, I believe they do plan to continue. You can hear them, see pix etc. at www.splitliprayfield.com.

They're all good and worth having, although for that raw energy "In The Mud" is probably my favorite. They matured/expanded a bit more (not overwhelmingly so) on their next albums, which is all fine and good, but that one has the most raw power. They don't claim to be virtuosos on their respective instruments, and they're not; that's not what they're going for.
ewertj - Posted - 03/20/2007: 15:53:53
I have to give you the rest of the story about Kirk's last stage 5 appearance there last September. If you haven't been to Winfield, Stage 5 is the impromptu stage out in the campground where anybody can play; all you have to do is sign up. Many of the paid performers at the fest sign up for late night sets just for fun. That has always been one of the dichotimies at Winfield -- SLR is one of the biggest draws for a certain demographic there, and yet they have never been invited to play the festival as a paid act; they've always just played Stage 5 every night. Anyway, as I said above that night at Stage 5 was unlike any in the past. The size of the crowd completely overwhelmed the space there and overflowed, blocking the nearby road and inundating all of the camps nearby. Large bottles of whiskey were making their way freely among the thousands gathered and the roaring of the crowd was deafening. People were lighting fireworks as SLR finished up their set, with one brief encore, "Kiss of Death." Here is where it gets fascinating to me. The next band up was the Byron Berline Band, including Hickman, with Tim O'Brien and another guest or two sitting in. Those guys took the stage while the crowd was still going ape**** for another SLR encore and I must say that I have never seen professionals look so awkward. The thing that have wondered about since then is whether or not those guys had any idea what the significance of that set was, or if they were just a little bewildered. Here were some guys that have been around the industry as long as anyone and they were having to follow this punkgrass outfit who came of age at Winfield. Anyway, the crowd immediately dispersed down to about a third of the size that it had been, but Berline and co. immediately jumped into some hot twin fiddling. And here is where their professionalism shows: they played their hearts out and won over the crowd that was left there. I will never forget that night.
JackJack - Posted - 03/20/2007: 16:22:33
Sounds awesome! Thanks for the story and the CD pick, I'll go puchase it right now.
Since we are on the subject of the home town bands going old time/bluegrass, has anyone heard of The Devil Makes Three? They are from my town (Santa Cruz, CA) and have been making quite the impact on the scene for the last few years. They sound more ragtime rather than bluegrass and have Doc Watson influences, but definitly with a punk edge. They are hometown favorite here.
Check 'em out
http://www.thedevilmakesthree.com/
and mp3's here

Their song "Old Number Seven" is played on our local radio station (KPIG) all the time and has been rumored the Jack Daniels is asking about using the song for commercials or something.

On a serious note, it appears that Greg Graffin is now doing old-time music. I found this out by accident cruising through clawhammer vids on youtube (specifically Chris Berry's killer clawhammer vids).
"How Could Hell Be Any Worse" is still one of my favorite albums.

Remember when Punk met Reggae? Or should it be, when Reggae met Punk?
The Bad Brains were definitely more punk than all the skinhead put together that just went to the show just to give the band hell. And the Bad Brains still rocked without even flinching! Then they'd play a reggae song just to get a reaction from the punks.
I saw them three times, and at one show, it was 90% reggae, I loved it when all these frustrated skin heads and so called punks left, I just walked right up front and enjoyed the show.

Oh man, I saw Bad Brains a few times. Once at this rat-hole rave style club in Orlando. We were sfaced and walking around the club after the show, we literally stumbled into the backstage dressing area. And there before us was none other than HR and Dr. No. We started going nuts, anyway we were partying with them big time. I was like eighteen and I thouhgt we were so cooool, my friend kept hooking HR up with these huge sacks and he kept losing them. We were laughing at him cause he kept going to roll a fat one and he couldn't find the stuff. Of course now I wish I hadn't been so pumped up about getting wasted so I could have tried to have a real conversation but such is life.
Anybody ever see that Social D movie "Another State of MInd"? I think I remember that had some good footage of Bad Brains and Minor Threat didn't it?

I think, but I remember Youth Brigade and Minor Threat. Might have been different movie? I remember a scene where they are pushing the broken down school bus up a hill. I actually did an interview with Dr. No and the bass player. I was wearing Dr. Know shirts (band from Oxnard, Mystic Records--heard of 'em?) and they were both commenting, "Who this Dr. Know?" They never heard of them! Well, we did a half-ass interview (being kids) never did anything with it. Man I wish I still had all that stuff.

Yeah, it was a documentary of a tour that Social D and Youth Brigade did in '82. While in D.C., they stayed at the Dischord house and hung out with Minor Threat. They interviewed Ian and MT played a couple songs. Dr. Know!! Wow! I haven't heard that band in ages! I saw them a bunch of times (once with Brandan Cruise but mostly after they became a trio). I used to see a lot of the oxnard bands (Ill Repute, Stalag 13, Aggression, etc). What zine did you interview Dr. Know for?

Dan, I don't really know! I just found that link yesterday and only heard what he posted on his myspace. I do know that two of the musicians he plays with, Daevid Bragger and Chris Berry, are fantastic old-time players! Apparently, Daevid was a next-door neighbor to Greg growing up. Daevid used to watch Bad Religion garage rehearsals when he was like 8 years old (he's a good 10 years younger than Greg). At some point, Daevid decided to learn fiddle and, at the ripe age of 34, he's awesome! So, punk CAN have a positive musical influence on kids! LOL!!

Yep, I was totally into that scene, collected 'em all. Still have Ill Repute first 45. Where were you growing up during all this? Dan and I both were in the Denver CO scene, and just figured it out a week ago. Small, world, right Dan? We didn't really have any kind of publication, just thought we'd start one and realized how much work it was, so we concentrated on our band instead. We did come close with the Bad Brain interview and some record reviews, we even interviewed DRI, but like I said, nothing happened after the initial push. quote:

I don't remember ever seeing RKL. I did see Dr. Know (Funhouse?) and the riot police busted it up big time. Remember that? I'll e-mail you the link to the MySpace "old school Denver punks". They actually have a thread on that show. Remember when Aggression moved from CA to Denver. All that big to-do in our Denver scene, and I think some of 'em ended up getting arrested for stealing a soda machine! That's the rumor anyway. quote:

Here's a sign that punk and bluegrass are mingling with a whole new generation.
I just got back from the park with my banjo, where I played for about an hour. During my session, these guys (probably early 20's) all dressed in black, chains, punk patches and stickers (Exploited, Vandals, etc...) walk up with acoustic guitars and ask if they can sit with me. We strike up a conversation and they're all into old time/traditional music--but with todays flair. They really liked the Pogues. So we played a couple Celtic/Irish sounding songs (not very well) and then they all start asking me, "Do you like Flatt and Scruggs, David Grisman, Bill Monroe, Merl Haggard?" "I play mandolin, we got a band with a fiddle player, and standup bass,etc...." This goes on for awhile and I had to get back home.
I'm hoping our music scene here will just open up anytime now and shine some light on this town.
fstylemb1 - Posted - 03/31/2007: 10:18:42
that's pretty cool. a lot of the younger punkers around here are heavily into Old Crow Medicine Show. I suspect the more they get into this music, they will find how driving and awesome that Monroe, F&S, J Martin etc... stuff is. It is refreshing to see that there are the younger folks that can continue to keep this music alive and kicking!
BTW, there was lots of jamming at the Itchin to Pick Bluegrass Jam in Louisville at the Galt House. Hope this will be an annual deal! I'll look for the punkers tonight!

It can be pretty tough be srrounded by all of these instruments. I want to play them all, thus, I find myself somewhat of a jack of all trades, master of nothing! We have folks who come by the shop with some killer instruments-pre wars of everything. If in Louisville, you all let me know. Would love to show you around the shop. There's usually a bluegrass jam going on all through the week. If not, we can make one happen. OR, go through my old punk rock records!

I've been jamming with people on electric guitar and bass. The electric guitar player pretty much only plays power chords. I am finding that this sort of takes away from and drowns out the banjo and the acoustic guitar and mandolin. We play folk songs and punk and rock and roll. Anybody else encounter this? If you have, what have you done to fix it. The electric guitar works sometimes, and doesn't work other times. It's like the power chords kill all the finesse and fill of the other instruments. As I play, I think there's something that's just not right, I'm trying to fix it.

I was just listening to Boot Liquor and they played a band called The Meat Purveyors. Anybody ever heard of them? Feel free to kick me if this band was mentioned earlier in the thread, I haven't read the thing in so long I forget what was in it. Anyhow they have a great website and a full tour, check your area because it would probably be worth it to go check them out.
Here's a quick bit from their website:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hometown: Austin, TX US
Whiskey-fueled and case-hardened deep in the heart of Texas, TMP boast a personal history that would shame Fleetwood Mac, and wood shedding that sends so-called roots revivalists, snooty bluegrass purists, and alt-country poseurs into paroxysms of self-doubt and years of expensive therapy.
And just who are these Texans who dare to breathe fresh life into the overly stoic, staid and mossback world of bluegrass? Anchoring this dysfunctional lot with his percussion guitar and gift for lyrics is recent Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee Bill Anderson (we're guessing it can't be THAT hard to get into, fer crying out loud). Diva Jo Walston is a honky tonk angel gone wrong under a towering beehive, while Miss Cherilyn DiMond delivers piledriver stand-up bass and harmonies directly from the choir (and banter directly from the truck stop parking lot). Mr. Peter Stiles, a reformed Deadhead, presents a flabbergasting prestidigitation on the mandolin and it is rumored that he has never played a bad solo. Ever. Darcie Deaville provides the fiery fiddling and the wild-eyed stares that fans fear to love and love to fear.
The Meat Purveyors are doing their best to keep bluegrass from tottering meekly into a dust-covered coffin. Help them, won't you? You don't want them to get too riled up.

YES! I was hoping this thread would make a comeback. I read an interview with Tom Trocolli of SST fame. And He put the term punk rock into perspective. What he said is that punk isnt just the music, for instance he was looking at paintings with his daughter and that painting was outside the norm of what most art is and to him that was punk rock. I thought that was pretty cool. PS. anybody know what happened to wheatstraw.

Just wanted to pull this thread back up, I saw somebody mentioned it in the clawhammer/old time section and it made me think of it. I snagged it back from page 14, it was getting dangerously close to being "Archived" which, around here, means sucked into some kind of bottomless pit. Anyhow Punk Meets Bluegrass Not Dead!
