Skatepunk

Skate Rock Tour 2010 is finally here. We leave tomorrow. It's gonna be madness. Super fun, lots of skateboarding and music, and I am very amped. I'll have updates as often as possible, plus check for my updates on AltamontApparel.com

Great song, super easy! Verse is E, D, C, Bm; chorus is E, D A, C, then E C D.

Found this great interview with Ian MacKaye on The Sound of Young America. As usual, great insight, very thoughtful responses, and great stories.

Punk Rocker's Peculiar Death Lures Pilgrims to New Orleans Hotel:
by Richard A. Webster, New Orleans City Business

Room 37 at the St. Peter Guest House in the French Quarter has become a tourist destination and an in-demand room after New York Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders died there in 1991.

Every year for the past 18 years, punk rock fans from throughout the country have made a pilgrimage to New Orleans. They arrive on the doorstep of the St. Peter Guest House in the French Quarter, asking if Room 37 is available for the night, or if they could just have a look inside.

The small unassuming suite is where legendary New York Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders injected one last blast of heroin before drawing his final breath at the age of 38.

The Jesus Lizard played an amazing show the other in San Diego, at the Casbah. This band is one of the best I've ever seen live, they are incredibly tight, incredible musicians and David Yow is just a nutso performer. So great. I'll have more photos up in the band photos section soon enough. If you get a chance to see them on this tour, take it. You won't regret it.

I've been reading a bunch of articles from various sites on punk rock lately and I figure I'd put up some of my favorites and/or the most interesting ones here for you to enjoy.
