Interview with White Lung’s Mish Way
“I was in some really bad bands … not serious bands, one with my ex-boyfriend. So, I was playing guitar and kept thinking, ‘I really want to start my own band.’”

Show Photos: Winter's Ruby, Slut River @ PS1 – 3/31
If you’re paying attention, all my blog posts have been chronological. Winter’s Ruby and Slut River closed out the night immediately after the Super Sonic Piss show (@ the Tobacco Bowl) I raved about in my last post. Â I was so exhausted at this point, but it was the right decision to prop my eyelids open and stick with it ’til the end.

Show Photos: Tyvek, Solid Attitude, Non Prayer, Slut River @ the Wherehouse – 1/28
I never considered myself a punk fan until I started spending time at the Wherehouse. There has been one great punk show after another, and I’ve come to love the noises that blare from the massive speakers that usually accompany hardcore bands. Last Friday I reluctantly  dragged myself out into the cold and down to the Wherehouse. I am always reluctant when it’s below 50 degrees, but I always manage to do it because these shows are always so damn good.

To those bands, my sincerest regrets for not digitally capturing your performance. Â As far as what I DID see….well done. How can […]
