The summer is magic
You have to imagine, imagine oh oh oh

PUNKROCK RADUNO VOL. 2 AT EDONE, BERGAMO (IT) 13/14/15 JULY!
Punk Rock Raduno Vol. 2: the festival, the LP, the magazine, the hostel, the 3 days of live shows, the acoustic events... it's all ready to start next week! Punk Rock Raduno is a summer festival happening at Edonè, Bergamo, Italy. It's been described as "a gathering of Ramones fanatics", and although that definition is correct, there's definitely more. It surely connects the core of the European old school pop punk scene but it opens itself to the whole punk/rocknroll/DIY community. On Thursday July 13 there will be a New Bomb Turks (USA) + guests show with a 18.00 Euro ticket at the door. Friday and Saturday (July 14-15) shows will be free admission. Bands like Dr Frank MTX, Peawees (Dead End City special show), Travoltas, Nikki Corvette, Apers, Retarded (reunion show!), Lone Wolf, Priceduifkes, Pale Lips, La Crisi... all free!

MINI MONSTER ZERO ACOUSTIC STAGE AT PUNKROCK RADUNO!
Goomba will be drinking, singing and trying to sell records at Punkrock Raduno this weekend. And he has also invited some of his punkrockin' friends to make fools of themselves with an acoustic mini-performance at the Monster Zero recordbooth. So come hang inbetween the bands, watch your favorite MZ artists struggle with just a guitar and singalong to their biggest hits and obscure coversongs. Confirmed so far are Andrea Manges, Mikey & Merel Bat Bite, Kevin Aper, Midrake, Priceduifkes, Matt DeeCrack and Spider & Debby, but we're working on some more suprises. Check the Raduno FB for the schedule soon!
7 YEARS BAD LUCK 'GREAT, BIG, NOTHING' CD/LP OUT SOON!
The best band from Saalfelden return to the slippery scene with a new record! 'Great, Big, Nothing' will hit the streets early August! 12 brand new 7YBL songs on CD/LP and digital. We released this baby together with No Reason from Italy. A little Toad told us that the LP might be available at Punkrock Raduno, but you haven't heard this from us... Anyway, o celebrate this release, there's a bunch of 7ybl shows coming up in August and September, including some bangers with bands like Chixdiggit, Face To Face, Good Riddance and PEARS. And to make shit even more exciting, the legendary Eric Rosenfeld from Versus You has made a video for the song 'No Control' Check it out here: https://youtu.be/tVwJNMryFnc
