Fun Fun Fun Fest - Austin, TX - Nov 2-4 2012

[Chris]

Hmmm, that's a good lineup.  And I do like Austin.  Might have to put some thought into going…

[RocknRoll]

Would love to see Refused and Fucked Up….alas Austin is out of reach (for the time being).

[Seul]

Refused are supposedly very good!.. Re-unions are so common these days but still… I'd go see them if I were you!..

[Megatron1505]

On a side note, just listened to the Doomriders track that JSJ mentioned, awesome and I will be buying the album, helped restore my faith in metal.

[riffblaster general]

thanks mega!  enjoy it!

[Sugar Mountain]

Let's hope Baroness can still play. This incident sounds terrible but thankfully it wasn't any worse: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-19267414

They are all going to be ok thankfully.  I've heard from a few in their camp.  though there were some injuries, none are life threatening.    I was freaking out yesterday when I heard the news texting and calling people frantically.  Awful.

i wish i could give you more info, but i think its best to wait for the band to make a statement, because i'd hate to say anything they are uncomfortable with people knowing.

[Chris]

Yikes, that does sound awful.  Here's hoping for speedy and complete recoveries by all.

[Giles]

Yeah, RBG, I was thinking of you yesterday,  belting around Europe in that coach you had at Hevy…..

[riffblaster general]

we've had some close calls in the past, but thankfully nothing like what Baroness is dealing with.  This one hit close to home because they are good friends.  i'm so happy everyone is ok.

[joesaintjohn]

Holy $#&! that's terrible. I really hope they're okay. I hadn't listened to 'em in a while and I was really getting back into it with the release of Yellow&Green. Such talented artists. My thoughts go out to them.

[riffblaster general]

all i can say for sure is that john has a broken arm.  he's recovering fine, and his wife and daughter are there in the hospital.  allen posted on fb that he's going to be ok but he didn't go into detail about who is injured.  my friend's wife was on the bus with them doing merch and she gave us an update saying everyone was going to be ok.

[joesaintjohn]

I'm glad to hear they're doing okay. They've all gotta be pretty shook up. Thanks for the update.

[joesaintjohn]

Really been jamming The Black Angels lately. I love how this festival expands my musical portfolio.

[elclintor]

Notice, Riffblaster will be playing at 5:15 on Friday. I'll be stomping around in the pit with my wife…

[BLACKFROSTT]

I will be in the great state of Texas at this time on vacay, and I was looking for a show to go to….this fits the bill perfectly...

[joesaintjohn]

Hell yes! I'll be driving down from Oklahoma on Thursday. Hit me up and let's get beers.

[riffblaster general]

awesome!!!

[joesaintjohn]

Kicking it off tomorrow night in Austin. If anyone is in the area and wants a beer, hit me up!
