My latest competition entry about a Christmas shopping trip
PUNK ROCK BOWLING 2021
A lot of the bands were replacements for band who had a lame excuse.
FatMike on the other hand, got death threads so he and NOFX(crappy band) had to pull out.
I was in Las Vegas from the 22-27.
Saw FEAR on Thursday the 23rd
FRIDAY:
DWARVES
ANTI-FLAG
DESCENDENTS
SATURDAY

SUNDAY
Not even Devo could save that line up.
Sunday for us was a free day.
Out of 42 bands, we saw 6 perform(FEAR was a club band, not a main festival band, this yr.)
Many said it was a great festival, either it was their first time attending or they were just happy to be in Vegas.
Here's hoping next yrs Festival is actually great.
