Photos: Titus Andronicus and Lost Boy at Gabe’s
Titus Andronicus, Lost Boy and The Olympics stopped by Gabe’s last weekend for an intense night of punk rock and general rabble-rousing. Below you’ll find photos featuring Lost Boy and Titus Andronicus, specifically (a scheduling conflict led me to miss The Olympics’ set, unfortunately). Lost Boy offered up solid guitar-driven punk, while Titus Andronicus played […]

Photos: Supersonic Piss goes out with a bang
A small, sweaty basement seems like the most appropriate place to give Supersonic Piss a proper sendoff. Last night, the group was joined by Iowa City’s own Stiff Ride, along with touring bands Death Drive and Stillsuit from Oakland, California. I missed Stiff Ride’s set, mostly because of my own impatience. Death Drive and Stillsuit […]
