I am not a big fan of SOIA to be honest but in places like New Zealand people get psyched when they tour here - I know a bunch who are heading to Aussie to catch them

In Australia they're supporting the Dropkick Murphys. Kind of an odd combo...

I've seen Dropkick and SOIA together a few times over the years. I think the somewhat different styles compliment each other quite well.

I saw them with the psychobilly band Viva Hate. Now that was strange. Both good bands though.

They've toured together probably close to 10 times.

The Israeli punk crowd is not a very big one, which is expected because we are not a big country. This is fairly evident in the Israeli punk band scene. It is a small, intimate scene where almost everyone in it plays in at least 2 bands, which is why for a pretty small scene, we have a lot of punk bands.

Problem is that there are a lot of punk fans in Israel that don't even know there IS an Israeli punk scene, which is why the crowd in Israeli punk bands' concerts is usually pretty small. But when acts like NOFX, The Stooges and Marky Ramone come here, Israeli punk kids crawl out of their holes like crazy, and concerts like these are usually pretty hectic. I expect Sick of It All to be no different.

And as they say: it's not the quantity, it's the quality.

They're huge in Europe and Asia. I'm sure there are people in Israel who are psyched.

I'm still a sucker for this band. Once of my first hardcore shows was SOIA and Black Train Jack when Scratch the Surface came out, then again a year or two later with Snapcase and AFI opening. They've been great live every time I've seen them.

There were only 100/150 people at Cesena yesterday and the few presents were half asleep. But they still did a kickass show, Lou incitated the crowd to make some noise between every single song. It was obvious that he was flogging a dead horse, but still he insisted and finally on the last two songs he managed to get everybody mode and create a decent pit (braveheart on Scratch The Surface always works). It's amazing how a band that has been around for so many years and is so respected still give everything they have even in front of a small and unresponsive crowd from a totally different part of the world. These guys are all that is right about hardcore and punk.

The June 21st show on Fields Of Rock in the Netherlands seems to be incorrect: that festival has been cancelled. They are scheduled to play the Powerfest in Geleen on June 22nd instead: www.thepowerfest.nl
