I would check this out...not really a fan of any of those band 'cept gallows and buzzcocks, but it's in JAPAN! Does that mean a ticket will cost 5 billion yen? 3+ Replies

You sure this isn't Punk Rock Spring 1998? Replace Angels and Airwaves with Blink-182 and most of this is stuff I loved ten years ago.
