PHOTOS | 33’s CD release show at The Oasis

March 16, 2009 – 10:00 am

Veteran Charleston punk band the 33’s blew out the doors on Friday night at the Oasis. It’s been a while since I’ve seen dudes sporting the classic twin fin mohawk, but it worked. The pit spun, boots stomped, and people had a good time. Here’s some photos:

PHOTOS | Columbians invade the Tin Roof

February 23, 2009 – 11:47 am

I made it down to the Tin Roof on Saturday night and caught two bands from up north, well two hours up north anyway. Openers The Unawares had a cool pust-punk vibe going and delivered a solid set of swingers and bangers. Death Becomes Even the Maiden cranked it up a few notches and stoked [...]

VIDEO | PBR Bullriding

January 10, 2009 – 5:22 pm

North Charleston Coliseum hosted a regional PBR bullriding contest last night and it continues tonight. They were kind enough to let us behind the scenes and I made a short video about it. Don’t be fooled by the size of the pens, these beasts are enormous. I give a lot of credit to these guys [...]

The music, by Phil Kline, is divided into four distinct recordings and passed out to any number of boomboxes. The goal is to gather a bunch of people together and have all boomboxes play their tracks simultaneously and walk through [...]
