Sweet lineup for music.... Sounds of the Underground!

This whole post has reminded me that I'd like at least ONE band T-shirt before I die. No, I am not a poser or wannabe punk / goth / what-have-you. Just that it would be nice, is all. :P

Candy wants me to go over to Toronto and see GWAR since she has passes... er, no real money means just that, dude! (although Ministry IS coming here to Vancouver on May 30, I've heard) She suggested I go to the Vancouver date and bring Eric... HAHAHAHA, yeah right! Corey would be into this, haha. Doubt Andrea would be, heh. :(

Edited for Corey's opinion: "Sounds of the Underground... that lineup doesn't look that cool :P GWAR, obviously.... In Flames used to be good... the rest is like wall of noise growling sound-alike death metal for the most part.. borrrrrring"

Too bad, because this seems like a cool lineup...
