Good tour, though I have never heard Two Point Eight.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (February 8, 2007)

Picture a singer in a mohawk and leather jacket who has a guitar just hanging there and doesn't really play it while singing like a british man on down syndrome and you're not really that far off. Oh wait..

Someone (February 8, 2007)

tim armstrong?

Someone (February 9, 2007)

since down syndrome isn't a drug you can't really be 'on' it

givemeamuseumandillfillit (February 9, 2007)

Woooossshhh!

ToyJetpack (February 8, 2007)

Two Point Eight is decent.

I wouldn't suggest anyone from Texas go so far as to give a damn, though.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

I suggest nobody at all should be concerned with your subpar reply.
Plus the band you dream about being in,but are not in,is way better than any band on this bill huh?

Someone (February 9, 2007)

back off, street teamer. twopointeight is generic as hell, lord knows why they're playing so much in the states. or maybe europeans are sick of the hundreds of lame-ass "street" punk bands that try to copy bombshell rocks and they can't get a gig at home.

and the new birggs album is boring as fuck. what's with all the "mature" mid-tempo songs?

Someone (February 9, 2007)

Street Dogs like 2.8 and picked them for their tour, I respect that. Even though 2.8 isn't my favorite band I don't agree with what you say about them. So it's hard not to sound a little like other punk rock bands, 'cause there isn't much that hasn't already been done. But they have their own songs, they're not a cover band and they have a steady fan base because they are good musicians. Of course you don't have to like them, they have enough fans to keep playing anyway. But you don't have to trash talk them either. It's disrespectful to both 2.8 and Street Dogs.
Give it a chance or don't. You can be as negative as you want, just don't try and bring people down with you.

Someone (February 11, 2007)

fuck off hippie. which instrument do you play in 2.8?

Dante3000 (rich) (February 8, 2007)

Very, very awesome. I haven't seen the Street Dogs in a couple of years and I couldn't be more excited for this. Awesome line up.
What ever happened to Street Dogs being on Side One Dummy? I mean obviously it didn't happened, but why?
-Dante

Holy_Hack_Ben (February 8, 2007)

Not 100% sure, but I believe that Side One Dummy did not like the recording of Back to the World and did not want to put it out. But I could be wrong.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

That's the word, yeah.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Confucius declare that Side One not very good on picking righteous artist who clearly destroy live and on record,example Go Betty Go.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Piebald!
Wait don't they suck too?

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Hey they put good artists on their label.They got Zox,VCR,The Dan Band,Maxeen.
Oh hell your right,those bands blow too.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

I heard that SD told Side One to go fuck themselves and went with DRT.

Whats with the double posting on this thread?

OzmanX (February 8, 2007)

Damn.

Their Socal show is at Chain Reaction on March 20th and on this day is Against Me!/ Riverboat Gamblers at the Glasshouse. Whatever should I do?

ashtraymonument (February 8, 2007)

against me/gamblers
both equally amazing bands live. i think street dogs are touring with flogging molly too

Punkengineer (February 8, 2007)

I've seen the riverboat gamblers 2x at the Key Club in the last 6 months. I'm choosing The Street Dogs.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

SD owns on Gamblers and Against Me

Someone (February 8, 2007)

the briggs are touring with the toasters in the spring.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Wow, the "no one cares tour, 2007"

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Beats sitting at home on a computer with little man's syndrome,resentments and no talent!

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Ah, like what you do most nights of the week?

MN_punkmaster-skaman (February 8, 2007)

And of course.....no dates near me.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

I'm sure more will be released.
-Andrew

Rastid (February 8, 2007)

hope so. bastards are from the east coast, after all...

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Dude, they are basically a small batch of dates they're doing on their own, after the 6 week flogging molly tour, that's hitting everywhere.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Nope but its a tour.Don't ya just wish you had a band good enough to actually go out on one of those.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Just got back from Metallica.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Rock on headbanger!

Someone (February 8, 2007)

My comment was a response to people complaining they weren't coming near them; that they are going everywhere right before that, btw

Rastid (February 8, 2007)

everywhere except boston and nyc?

AndyPonch (February 8, 2007)

The Street Dogs constantly put on a great show and their new stuff is just as great as their previous stuff. Not a fan of the Briggs and I don't know Two Point Eight, but I would still check this out of it was in the Northeast.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

One of the consistantly great live bands out there right now. My favorite DKM stuff was with the Mike McColgan anyway, so it made perfect sense that the Street Dogs would be just as good, if not better and to me, I'm right. I see them whenever I can, can't wait for the new album

Someone (February 8, 2007)

One of the consistantly annoying posts out there right now. My favorite joke was when it was new anyway, so it made perfect sense that idiots would run it into the ground, and to me, I'm right. I avoid it whenever I can, can't wait for a new comment

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Get off McColgan's bags you jamoke.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

The Briggs are incredible.You need to listen to their first release numbers and the leaving of the ways ep.Back to higher ground their new release is good as well.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Fading American Dream is awesome

Someone (February 8, 2007)

you are correct-oldpunker-

Someone (February 8, 2007)

No problem young shithead.

baseball (February 8, 2007)

9/10, great album

AphasiacIIC (February 8, 2007)

great fucking lineup

kman1224 (February 8, 2007)

They're taking a break from their Flogging Molly tour to play a show in Chicago at the Subterranean with local Irish/Celtic Punk band Flatfoot 56. To say i'm excited is an understatement. I only knew a few Street Dogs songs until I saw them open up for my favorite band (The Bouncing Souls) this past October. I was amazed by their kickass live show and purchased Fading American Dream right way and loved every minute of it. This show is going to be sweet. Make sure to check out Flatfoot 56 too if you like the Street Dogs, Murphy's or Flogging Molly.

passionisafashion (February 8, 2007)

Sweeeeet. Thanks posting that, I hadn't noticed before. I saw them on the gold tour as well (great show) but I had to go down to st. louis for it, so it's cool they'll be within CTA travel distance.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

What's up, Captain Street Team

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Nothing, Captain backstabber.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Did I betray the street team??

Someone (February 9, 2007)

you betrayed the scene man, the scene. have you no soul?

Someone (February 9, 2007)

Saw Flatfoot 56 a month ago. Wasn't impressed. The bagpiper/mandolin player is talented. The rest of the band is average at best. Nice guys, just not a very exciting live band. They are better on CD.

TheBouncingSoul (February 8, 2007)

This news makes up for the Finger Eleven advertisement I just saw on the pn.o homepage...

Top Punkrock from Sweden, also very good guys!

Someone (February 9, 2007)

If you haven't heard twopointeight, listen to any lame-ass rancid-copying streetpunk band fromt he last ten years. Crap Punkrock from Sweden, thanks guys!

TheOneTrueBill (February 8, 2007)

Sucks that the Briggs won't be on the Chicago date. Instead it's Flatfoot 56 and their creepy army of christian skinheads.

Someone (February 9, 2007)

never mind the religious aspect, if you take time to listen to the music, I think you might really like it! They've got something extra in their music,I don't know what it is but they make me wanna jump around and sing :)

Someone (February 8, 2007)

was that worth posting 3 times?

Someone (February 8, 2007)

That gets posted everytime there's a street dogs thread.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Yep........Got to drop truth on haters.

Someone (February 8, 2007)

Three great records,$30
One Not Without A Purpose Shirt $12
One Boston terrier Street Dogs pin $1

Going to see punk rock's most meaningful band right now live?

Priceless.

Wrong.
You and your inane post clearly display that your five dollar ass clown.
He doesn't look like Howard Dean at all.He looks more like a thin Bryan Johnson in a suit.

TwoPointEight is a Swedish band, been to many shows with them. They are really nice people and they've played with great bands, such as Street Dogs, Flogging Molly and Danko Jones and so on and so on! I haven't listened a lot to The Briggs but I like them more and more and I know their new record is really good! But of course, there is nothing that could compare to Street Dogs, the best band there is! I shall now go and make a festive banner or flag for showing my love and support at the next show, can't wait!
see you in the pit

Someone (February 11, 2007)

jesus, all you street teamers need to shut the fuck up and get a life.

Someone (February 15, 2007)

Oh isn't your life peachy, haha, I'm sure you're one of those fun-loving people with a bright future ahead of you! What's the matter, were you an unhappy child? I think you just need some love. It's okay, everything's going to be alright.

FlourCityKnuckleKid (February 9, 2007)

Street dogs!

Kitten77 (February 10, 2007)

If you haven't heard of the Street Dogs you are missing out! Check them out at: http://www.myspace.com/streetdogs. They are one of THE best bands to come around in years. They have so much energy and their live shows are sooo much fun. They're the type of band you can go into the pit for, or just put your arm around the person next to you at the show have a beer and sing along. Join the Street Dogs army......DO IT!

wpn1 (February 10, 2007)

Seriously! If you've not been to a Street Dogs show yet, all I can say is DO IT! It's a live show you'll want to experience, again, and again.

GENERALJimmyPop (February 14, 2007)

going to this show would be great if there was one close to me but i might try to go to the show in anahiem. BUT i am looking forward to seeing them here in vegas! if you havent seen them live yet then listen to the other people posting on here and do it. you won't be disappointed i assure you. they play with such an energy that its hard to believe that they can do it night after night but they do. their albums have great messages behind them and deliver a good message for the new up and coming punkers as well as the old timers...straight boston punk rock DO NOT MISS YOUR CHANCE TO SEE THEM!!!

Someone (February 15, 2007)

FAKK!!!! If I had tha cash I would go to see SD in Denver, but I think Im gonna have to wait for them to come a little closer.

seanpatrick (February 16, 2007)

how about add a florida date maybe st pete since it is the best city to go to a punk show in

cherrybomb13 (February 16, 2007)

Being a newbie fan of the Street Dogs I must say that they are absolutely amazing!!! I've made a vow that as long as I can make it out to their shows I don't care who they are playing with cause I will be there!!!
