yeah, it's not like San Diego got the last RFTC show and the first 2 shows from the Night Marchers. Don't get me wrong, this tour is OK, but pales in comparison to the other 3 I mentioned so stop whining. LA is 3 hours away at most if you haven't heard of the gas peddle.

If that is an actual tour (like 20+ stops, not 5 shows) that would be amazing. The Queers, AJJ and BTMI! all have amazing live shows. I like Lemuria, but I'm not as apeshit over them as a lot of people seem to be.

They needed a little more pissed-offedness in their last album IMO. Pleasant Screams was masterful..Munki Brain was love songs+an ode to George Bush

MattRamone (February 1, 2008)

Yeah, but it was awesome. Writing a really good pop song is one of the hardest things to do in music, and Joe pulled it off in spades.

So I was looking at my Asian Man 10th anniversary poster, and noticed they don't have Pezcore pictured as a release. I have the 5th anniversary poster at my mom's, and I can't remember if it was on there or not.

Is there bad blood there?

(and I know it was a reissue on Asian Man, but the poster has the Screeching Weasel reissues pictured)

that's weird, its probably because Screeching Weasel pulled from Lookout and gave the rights to asian man.

I got my copy of Pezcore from Asian Man too

FresnoSka (February 2, 2008)

LTJ took it back and re-re-released it on Fueled by Ramen (First on Dill, then Asian Man, then FBR). I think I read somewhere that they pulled it from Asian Man because the label was not keeping track of their sales properly (something to the extent of LTJ receiving sales figures hand written on liner paper)....I read this story a long time ago, so I might not be precise on the details

I think the point of this tour is every kind of punk is really happy with at least one of the bands on the tour, it's like a unifier. Except for the air jordan/ flat brim hat hardcore kids, they are not pumped.

No seriously this is the greatest tour ever and will have me hopping buses for a week. If this is anywhere near the CA central valley than I won't need to see another show for 2 years.

Here's hoping that O Pioneers does Cali too.
