NEW ARRIVALS: MAXIMUMROCKNROLL

MAXIMUMROCKNROLL #315 • August 20

The August issue of MRR features an extensive interview with the all-time classic Midwestern hardcore band the ZERO BOYS, as well as a piece on early New York City art punkers COME ON. There’s an interview with ETACARINAE, from Barcelona, Spain, who plays heavy hardcore with a Japanese influence, plus another with INSOMNIO, from Zaragoza Spain, who plays dark, melodic hardcore with a hint of Greg Sage’s WIPERS. We’ve got Bay Area hardcore covered with two East Bay favorites: the heavy hitting SKIN LIKE IRON, and the female-fronted fastcore of PUNCH. Mississippi garage misanthropes the BLACK AND WHITES are interviewed by the band LOVER! And we’ve got a feature on the mystery bedroom sounds of the BLANK DOGS, along with Portland crust heroes RESIST. There are also London, UK, and Brest, Belarus, scene reports along with the usual columns, and, as always, the most extensive review section in punk!

Dos Equis Official Update

Kheri Tillman wrote4 minutes ago

On behalf of Dos Equis, we would once again like to apologize and take full responsibility for the disorganization at our event this past Wednesday night.

Although we know it’s impossible to alleviate the frustration felt by all, whether you had to wait in line for hours or were turned away after finally getting there, we know we owe you an honest explanation.

In keeping with producing the most unique events for the brand we selected the Falkenstein castle location. We thought only a limited number of people might take the long drive out there on a Wednesday night. Therefore, we heavily promoted the event to ensure we filled the venue, which unfortunately resulted in a guest list far greater than the capacity of the venue. A crowd much larger than we were prepared to handle, showed up at both the Austin bus pick up location and at the castle. Consequently, this all led to a horrible experience for hundreds of people and ruined their entire evening. And for all of this, we are truly, truly sorry.

We have spent the past two days reading each and every email, blog, and Facebook posting, and talking to some of you on the phone and we feel terrible. We are working hard to find a way to show you how sorry we are (while working within Texas alcohol beverage law which severely limits what companies can provide to consumers).

Therefore, in an effort to show how important you are to us, we are planning a special event (think of it as a Most Interesting Apology Party) for all those on the guestlist who had a bad experience and were not able to make it into the castle. Obviously planning the details and logistics of this event will take a little time, so we'll work closely with the promoters to keep you in the loop, and further details will be shared next week. If you would like to attend this event please email the promoter that invited you, and they’ll make sure you get a ticket.

If you have ever attended any of our previous events, you know we always try to give you the best experience possible, and we hope you accept our apology. If there is anything you would like to share, please email me at dosequis@heinekenusa.com.

Sincerely,

Kheri Tillman
VP, Dos Equis

OSBORNE : Hypnotized Monkey Art Show opening AUGUST 1

Hypnotized Monkey Art show opening August 1st, 2009 6-10pm

presented by THE FIFTH GALLERY

We are proud to announce this upcoming art show to THE FIFTH GALLERY. Rick Osborne (Hypnotized Monkey), who is equally skilled behind a bass guitar and keyboards as he is behind a paintbrush will be showcasing some of his latest works.

Osborne's works feature his  fantastic sense of color to create playful, and at times cynical, social and religious themes.

Rick will also showcase his large arsenal of time-lapse paintings which also boasts original musical scores.

Here's a few that we like.
