Okay, so I'm Tarcos.

I'm an aging punk rocker from Milwaukee who loves a good beer and a shitty basement punk show.

I spend my days cooking and writing and occasionally eating. I play some video games and read more books than frankly is healthy.

Sometimes I play roleplaying games. Sometimes I run roleplaying games. Sometimes I write roleplaying games.

I really like professional wrestling, drag, and comic books. I consider them all the same genre.

Okay, that's a pithy me.

@Tarcos

what's the best/worst punk show you ever saw?

@loucadle Best has to be Stiff Little Fingers / Bad Religion / The Offspring.

Seeing Stiff Little Fingers was a real treasure. Those guys don't tour much anymore, and definitely not in Milwaukee. Bad Religion is my favorite punk band, so yeah. Offspring played the entire Smash album, which was just awesome.

Worst would be literally any basement show in Milwaukee on a friday night. They are all equally terrible and thats what makes them great.

@Tarcos

Also liked Bad Religion back in the day. (oy vey I'm getting old!)

never tried bad music shows to enjoy the badness. Though I'm a MST3K fan, and even before them, I loved bad SF movies for being what they were, zippers on monster costumes and all!

@loucadle Hell yeah. I love a little camp, especially in scifi.

The thing with the bad punk shows is that punk is, at it's best, intentionally bad. The whole point is to suck. And everyone sucks together and that's what makes it fun.

@Tarcos

That's awesome. That is exactly why I always loved a good punk show. Hell, even some Pop Punk shows were fun as hell.

Now I want to go to a concert.

My favorite band is from Louisville and you should definitely check them out: Murder by Death. They also own a pizza restaurant in town. Lupo.

Pretty sure I've heard of them before, but I will def have to check that place out. Living about 30 min outside Louisville currently, so getting to some places gets just annoying enough to be difficult.
