For those of you...
…who need a lot less ‘lame’ in your life, I just found out that Tankcrimes, SF’s premier fu-manchu-and-tank-topz hardcore/metal label, streams their ENTIRE catalog right about here. So when you see a hippie in the library, know that you can finally have “Imaginary Mirror” from Annihilation Time’s classic-on-first-play “II” permanently on hand...

Test tubes filled with strange liquids being guzzled by the handful, burning American flags being used to light shots of what I was told was Everclear, a grad student hog-tied in the corner with...
Artistery 2001-2011
If you haven’t been to this place yet, you have about a month to experience one of the greatest venues in Portland before it gets shut down for good. The last week of shows would looks like the place to be even without the circumstances. They’ve done a good job.
Final Shows Announced
