After a day off the next batch of shows will be another two-night engagement, this time the Punk Rock Museum Takeover in Las Vegas, NV which will see Brendan and Sam performing again, along with The Copyrights, The All Brights on 27 Sep; and Cobra Skulls, The Brokedowns, Sincere Engineer, and Garrett Dale on 28 Sep.

It features seventeen unreleased songs from The Falcon, Heart & Lung, Laura Jane Grace, Sludgeworth and more. Preorders/pre-saves for that comp are up now and can be found this link page.
(full disclosure – under my artist/illustrator hat as Asplenia Studios, Red Scare commissioned me to create the posters for the 20th anniversary tour events. Prints are available to purchase here.)
the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
