Saturday Warriors; show reviews

San Diego had a pretty eventful evening last weekend. And we're not talking about holiday dinner parties or holiday after-party orgies with coworkers. In downtown, street punks got to rage along with Verbal Abuse and touring German band SS-Kaliert. Like any other night at the Yard, circle pits and sidewalk slams kept the atmosphere lively.

Here's a few photos (by Juan Ibarra) from the Yard show that I found via Facebook:

Also on the same night, up north at the Che Cafe Collective in UCSD, I showed up to catch grindcore veterans Graf Orlock and California hXc state locals Dangers. Opening bands were Negative Standards and Griever. The show in general had a pretty diverse turn-out of show-goers from differnt backgrounds, scenes, etcetc thanks to the fun show line-up. The rest can be explained via photos. Yay phooottoooss (these ones by me):

Eenie meenie miny mo....

So this Saturday (17 Dec 2011) is just around the corner, and it's gonna be a hyped day with two epic shows coming up... one at The Yard in Downtown and one at the Che Cafe on UCSD campus(La Jolla).

En la centro:

If you need to find the Yard, message the SDPyratePunx here.

SS-Kaliert are all the way out from Germany to bring their homeland street punk to a US city near you. Possibly a "once in a lifetime show", from what I've heard local fans saying. Oh, and one of the bands opening for them? Verbal Abuse, muthafucka. So if you're looking to rage and mosh and drink and all that hoo-rah, go here. SS-Kaliert video from Youtube:

En la norte:

This one doesn't even need an explanation. Just ask any fellow punk or musician or hipster or whatever. It's gonna tear some shit up. Local SD heroes Griever will also be one of the opening bands. Click on the flyer photo above for more info. And here's a Graf Orlock video from Youtube:
