Over the weekend, I attended Transmission Fest in Worcester, MA. Now, I hadn’t even heard of this gig until about 24 hours before the Saturday gig. Turned out, it was a two day gig in two locations. Each set of bands would play one location one day then the next location the next day. Big time. And it wasn’t small time chumpy bands. It was BIG time chumpy bands. At least on the day I attended, my choices were Acacia Strain, Vanna, … the works. Thank god a few great bands were peppered in there. I rolled up to hang with my friends Klint of Reign Supreme and Travis from This Is Hell. I spent a lot of time hanging around while Klint got pretty and had his picture taken for some promos. But overall, the show was sort of a mind fuck. Every kid, and I do mean kid, I’m guessing the average age was 13, was wearing neon. Lots of neon pink tees, neon braces, neon sneakers. And of course, black skinny jeans. But all of these kids kept requesting they get their picture taken with the band. With the dude from Vanna or with the dudes from Reign Supreme. Yes, Reign Supreme. Apparently Jay Pepito and Mike Doto are handsome fucks that people need to be pictured with. Who knew? Someone tell their manager to hire some security. They need it. Later Klint photo bombed a shot with the Vanna dude, girls got all cranky and demanded a redo. Personally, I thought a slobbering Klint in the background really added to the shot …
So this tank top. Yeah, you can still buy it directly from the band. Probably would only cost you 10 clams. Or consider picking up a tee from Deathwish Inc. Always a wise choice. And if that isn’t good enough, I guess you could always buy the tank chrismagana is selling. Try to get it from the band or label first though.
