weiiiiiiiird,

skankin_in_the_pit (March 12, 2006)

Both of those bands are great live. I think I'll have to talk some people into a road trip to the Hollywood show, 'cus I can't miss that lineup.

joeg (March 12, 2006)

with buck o nine and toys that kill. i didn't even know buck o nine was still together.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

Viva Mexico!

Someone (March 12, 2006)

...cabrones!

skaboom (March 12, 2006)

That's cool. I didn't realize Mexico even had a punk scene.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

Yeah... It doesn't... Or well, it has, but it's total shit.

IheartAdam (March 12, 2006)

4 rEaL mAn. Those filthy lazy people don't listen to punk music. There's absolutely no reason to ever leave America either. America is the greatest!!

skaboom (March 12, 2006)

I didn't say they sucked for going to Mexico, I said it was cool. Any racism was by your own accord, I did not imply that in the least. I am also aware that there is an international punk scene. I knew Japan and Europe are into it, I didn't realize Mexico was as well. That is the extent of it.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

Better get a cup to catch all those tears.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

that's just stupid - you need to live america and experience some other countries for once. mexico has 80 million people - tijuana for example is just a lot poorer san diego - how many punk bands come from poverty-stricken areas of nyc, london, los angeles? a lot. mexico doesn't have a punk scene? lol Union 13, Time Again, Left Alone - LA based mexican punk bands

Someone (March 12, 2006)

Aren't Manic Hispanic Mexicans as well?

FuckYouOiOiOi (March 12, 2006)

buy the new casualties DVD.

SalsaShark (March 12, 2006)

Quit giving him shit. He didn't say something like "Why would Mexico have a punk scene?," he just said he didn't realize it. Not every place besides America has a punk scene. I lived in a third-world country for half of my life and there was nothing like that there.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

nice salsatiburon!

Someone (May 25, 2006)

Yeah it does! and it is huge in some cities! just watch the new Casualties DVD i think punk scene in mexico city is even bigger than in any city in US.

and talking about small cities in mexico there´s also a great punk and hard core scene. bands like The Casualties, Union 13, Agnostic Front, Misfits, Marky Ramone, The Adicts, Terror, Voodoo Glow Skulls and many more have toured Mexico in the past few years and teh scene is getting bigger each time, there has been a great scene since I can recall you only have to realize that AMerica is not only the US, it is the whole continent! just watch out a little bit over the border or just stop watching too much crap tv lol

see ya

boy oh boy i hope TSM is on warped this year.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

I dont think they are.

Fatty_Arbuckle (March 12, 2006)

This band is so f'ing cool, and even cooler for doing this tour. I wish they were playing closer to the AZ-Mexico border (Nogales, maybe?) .... I'd make the drive.

clamum (March 12, 2006)

LOL They're playing Mexico then the next show is way the fuck up here in Marquette, MI. Saw them last time they came to Marquette... it was a small show but awesome.

joeg (March 12, 2006)

LOL Puerto Rico is almost spelled like Mexico except for the M, E, X, I, C, and O.

UncleFunkyPants (March 12, 2006)

I can't wait for the marquette show. Their last one here was rockin' too.

TheOneTrueBill (March 12, 2006)

There are a lot of empty dates in there, looks like a perfect time to add a few other dates in the midwest.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

come to south america fuckers!!!!

Someone (March 12, 2006)

you have to ask in Portugese or whatever language you speak.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

kung fu who???hahahahahaha

Someone (March 12, 2006)

that monkey band is a joke poser ass emo lames....

Mute98 (March 12, 2006)

buck o nine is still around?

Someone (March 13, 2006)

maybe.

greg0rb (March 12, 2006)

That is really awesome of these guys for touring Mexico. Everyone made such a big frickin deal when the White Stripes went and played ONE show in Mexico City... big deal. Mexican punks always get the shaft! -Greg

Someone (March 12, 2006)

YES, I think it's about time some good punk bands come to mexico. We really are fucked up the ass when it comes to seeing good punk bands.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

open your eyes and mind, USA is not the belly button of the world. you guys think there is nothing else besides what you see in your country. I'm not saying Mexico has a great punk scene, but i dont see why you have to be so surprised.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

agreed. Bands love to travel to places unvisited by other punk artists.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

there was about 4,000 people at least at the Casualties show in Mexico City despite there being a riot at the show the night before. Mexico has a pretty strong punk scene it's juts that most US bands are too stupid to realize it or too scared to go down there. http://oneshotrecords.net/RFTour/2005/descargas/cas_mex .mov

SalsaShark (March 12, 2006)

If I was in a band I'd love to tour Mexico. Bet it would be a hell of a lot of fun. Has anyone here visited Mexico (that didn't live there before)? Did you enjoy it? Was it worth the trip?

SalsaShark (March 12, 2006)

Also, did anybody see The Suicide Machines on the NUFAN tour when they were in Cleveland? Were they actually there or did they cancel? When I looked at the HOB website, it said Punchline was there instead.

Someone (March 13, 2006)

I didn't go but I'm 99 percent sure that they didn't play and Punchline did.

Someone (March 13, 2006)

punchline is touring now with them.

Someone (March 12, 2006)

i might be going to pr during spring break to visit my family. maybe i'll talk them into going to a suicide machines show in mayaguez.

Someone (March 13, 2006)

That's fucking awesome!
