i live in seattle and am very close friends with the river city rebels, i helped them out with a few shows with merch, and roadied for them when they did 2 northwestern warped tour dates which was gay. all the bands sucked. i also tattooed most of them. which was cool, my friend patti bo the guitarist let me tattoo my name on him. and i tattooed kicks from "the briefs" he's a cool guy. last night i hung out with Defiance, and the Bloodcloots after there show in the sodo district in seattle. thats about it for me besides a bunch of local and underground bands im friends with.
