I finally got the chance to see a show at Xanadu, the new roller rink with a stage.  This was a bill of bands I had seen before but thanks to a freebee pair I saw them all again.  I hadn't seen the Spits in over 10 years.  They haven't changed much, they do fast punk rock.  Dirty Fences reminded me of a combo of the Ramones and the Fleshtones and they get described as proto-punk so there you go.  Pyrex I last saw on the Cosmic Psychos bill last year.  They do a Discharge/Motorhead brand of punk.  The vocals were so reverbed I suddenly thought they didn't sound too far from Ty Segal.  I mentioned this to my friend Eric that went and he gasped at the thought.  Stranger comparisons have happened!

That conversation was miraculously remembered over half a year later.   Another friend of mine had RSVP's for the free Tuesday Night Series at Union Pool passed on to me that proved to be useless since they don't guarantee entrance.  Fortunately, I got there early enough that I was 3rd to last to secure entry.  For future lines there, if it...
