Such a good lineup. I might have to get to Chicago for this.

ericaisawesome (December 15, 2010)

My first thought was about how much you would love this.

ExtraCheesePizza (December 15, 2010)

Hell yeah. I would go just for some of those openers.

way to steal windy city soundclash's thunder, ben weasel.

niveK82 (December 15, 2010)

I'd rather have Windy City Soundclash. At least all the bands I like from this on the same night so i can see them then leave before screeching weasel.

preston (December 15, 2010)

is anything announced for that? I may try to go to Chicago for WCSC and this.

drunkwithpower (December 15, 2010)

I can't imagine WCSC happening with this going on. It always seems sparsely attended at best over the course of the weekend and this probably yanked what would have been the best of their headliners. I also think it caused Teen Idols to break up last year.

November 24 at 5:33pm - 15 bands confirmed, searching for headliners and some AMAZING bands have asked to play.

December 10 at 6:38pm - WCSC for 2011 has been CANCELED..you can thank ben weasel

preston (December 15, 2010)

Oh damn. That's fucked up.

drunkwithpower (December 15, 2010)

That IS fucked up. Even though I submitted this story, I don't actually like Sceeching Weasel or most of these other bands. The people that do WCSC should either have diversified a bit or should do other stuff throughout the year.

Half_Idiot (December 15, 2010)

I'd pay decent money to see The Manges and The Soviettes play the same show in any other situation.

mechpope13 (December 15, 2010)

what no The Max Levine Ensemble?

xfallenx (December 15, 2010)

The Steve Adamyk Band!!!! :)

JayTee (December 15, 2010)

I think my brain would melt from all the "uh-wuh-oh-OH!"s.

skolarx (December 15, 2010)

maybe kepi will hit detroit again when he is so close. my car totally took a shit on me and i missed his first show near detroit in like 10 years or so (i think last time was with teenage frames in 2000, though i might be wrong)

irish_punk_is_gimmickry (December 15, 2010)

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sliced-T (December 15, 2010)

Yeah! Boo fun! Boo!

Make_Way (December 15, 2010)

Well, I'm sold. See some of you people there!

largemarge (December 15, 2010)

wow, 3 nights.....i wonder how much he's gonna make off this. oh and merch. this guy is a piece of shit and wish him nothing but the worst! crossing my fingers for a snow out!

mediocore (December 15, 2010)

At the end of May?

xmadcowx (December 15, 2010)

whatever dood. as long as he keeps playing the music i love and keeps writing good albums, which as far as I am concerned he has, i'll give him my money. screeching weasel was never political. there's no holier then thou ethics that's upheld by songs called Peter Brady and Veronica Hates Me. and last i checked, there was no rule that anyone had to buy merch. i fully support massive selections of commodified bullshit for my picking. i ain't no communist! i like to choose how i waste my money.

Ben Weasel, he's an asshole.
Ben Weasel, he's a jerk.

now go listen to some teenage bottlerocket and mellow out.

largemarge (December 16, 2010)

1 for you to assume i like crass is pretty funny. so the link to the story you sent is pretty dumb.
2. did i ever say there was a rule that people had to buy merch?
3. you can waste money money however you wish, if you want to be stupid and by the same record over and over that is on you.
4. teenage bottlerocket sucks.
5. the pop punk ethics with seem to spew from you with the " i ain't (which isn't a word) communist" and "mellow out" makes you sound like a total fuck tard.
