"Fest" has become a four letter word, has it not?  Well, we're already 4 years into this shit, so it's too late now.  We put together a pretty kickass weekend full of good bands, good friends, and best of all: free stuff!  Here's the lineups, followed by a description of each night's festivities...

Friday at Beat Kitchen: What're Off With Their Heads and Smalltown doing on this show, you ask?  Well, they're great bands, asshole!  They also have contributed songs to our Swingin' Utters tribute, so there! 

Saturday at Metro: The Lawrence Arms are playing their 10th anniversary show and will be joined by some Red Scare faves: The Menzingers and La Plebe!  The Arms are also giving out 100 copies of a limited pressing 7" that night, but I'm sure you'll hear more about that from them.  Or will you?

Sunday at Beat Kitchen: It's a birthday party for The Lawrence Arms and you're invited!  Well, not all of you because this is going to be kind of a smallish affair.  Headlining will be The Emergency Room, which is Dan Andriano's new "thang".  Yes, he's playing Alkaline Trio songs, okay?!?!  Sheesh.  Tix will be on sale for that soon.
