Sept 1 STRUNG OUT w/Rufio @ The Republik...

The best punk rock band of all time. Can't wait for this. Anyone else going?

haha fucking rufio?! jesus..

...Not gonna lie... I still rock Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues and Twisted By Design every once in a while.
Everything after that was pretty bunk.
I'd only go see 'em again if there were good openers.
...*cough*

strung out was definitely huge to anyone alive in the 90s and made some great records.... the openers....uhhh i dunno..

In all fairness, and I know I'm going to get some hate for this...but the new Rufio album is pretty good. If you're a fan of late '90s/early 2000 pop punk stuff you'll enjoy it for what it is. As for the other bands I plan on showing up fashionably late.

Remember when they toured Alberta with Comeback Kid and Bane, or Rise Against before they got slow and shitty? Those were epic shows. Strung Out has never fallen off, everything from "Suburban" to the new album is incredible...

that show with cbk and bane was awesome. that was like.. before wake the dead came out i think

Rufio wasn't all that bad:

I was in Kamloops on the weekend, I found out Strung Out was playing while I was there so i said fuck it. I bailed on my friends for a few hours and checked the show out. It was incredible. They played to 50-75 people. It was pretty much a hall show. Tiny stage, no barricade. The crowd went off, and Strung Out just fucking slayed...

I scored the set list, so here it is in case you're wondering what they are playing on this tour...



Also not on the setlist but the encore was:

- Analog
- Bring Out Your Dead

There's a big difference between "not all that bad" and "someone I'm willing to pay to see".

It's another case of "I'll watch them if I'm there", but I wouldn't go out of my way to catch 'em.
