As Sunday dawned on Las Vegas, several people woke up lost inside the Sunset Station Hotel, others woke up confused, and a few lucky ones were able to greet the morning safely and comfortably in their hotel room, having made it back into their rooms successfully the night before. The last day of Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival had finally arrived and would ultimately end the event’s 3 day run, and name the 2010 Punk Rock Bowling winning team.

Saturday morning began like any other day in Las Vegas: people playing the slot machines, drunks trying to make it in one piece to their hotel rooms, and hungover individuals waking up and asking themselves, "What happened last night?" What made this Saturday different from other typical Saturdays in Las Vegas though, was that the first day of the Punk Rock Bowling tournaments would finally commence and take place the entire day.

We do recognize that there are some sound issues and video quality challenges at times with all of the videos. We are using some older equipment that has seemed to just stopped working consistently while our film team was covering the bowling event -we do the best we can with what we have.

Alex Chilton – In Memoriam

I’m going to keep this short. A corpse doesn’t value words – he doesn’t need ‘em. But we, the living, have gotta say something. Alex Chilton, at 59 years, is dead. And at this point, I’m not even sure what that means. I’ve spent a lifetime falling in and out of love to the sound of his voice, as so many weird souls and weary rock refugees have. But I’m not going to pretend that I Read more

DEVO – at The Fonda Theater – Hollywood, CA

In a time when you see things that are very generic, pre-packaged, done before / updated, it’s very refreshing that an original band like DEVO exist. Tonight kicks off 2 nights of sold out shows with this band that started in the late 70’s and in 2009 they remain just as iconic today. This round of shows that dots the US and Canada to mark Read more
