Get Ready for the 18th Annual Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival in 2016!

Punk Rock Bowling is pleased to announce the first round of bands for the 18th Annual Punk Rock Bowling Tournament and Music Festival to take place in Las Vegas, NV from May 26-30 and the inaugural debut of PRB East in Asbury Park, NJ from June 10-12, 2016.

Due to overwhelming demand from our East Coast brethren that just can’t make the cross country trek to the City of Sin, we will celebrate our 18th Birthday on both coasts for 2016. And to take part in the celebration, Punk Rock Bowling is proud to announce a sneak peak of the lineup so far. . .

Flogging Molly, Descendents, Cock Sparrer, Flag, Exploited, Dagnasty, Subhumans, Dillinger Four, Anti-Nowhere League, Youth Brigade and The Dwarves have all signed on to play so far.

SXSW 2014: A Heather Buckley Adventure

Prologue: After much adventure through these past weeks, these notes were written on the way to a shattered city—a pile of rusted steel known as Detroit. If it is one thing we can say, to keep adventuring, is to keep the spirit alive at its fullest and fan the fire which will always hunger for more. I have not stopped moving since the film shoot went down in Odessa, TX.

It was first brought to my attention that a 4k restoration of Texas Chain Saw Massacre was to be premièred at SXSW 2014. A relentless classic. Imitated. Worshiped. And Tobe Hooper was going to be there. Austin: the hometown of the saw. And the saw has always been family.

It was too late for press sponsorship at that point— I was off in Upstate New York doing FX shop coordination for We Are Still Here— when the deadline hit on February 5^th. I asked about 12 of my peers: Was it worth it, could you do it with a pass? All agreed this was possible...but the madness of it all! I booked my flight, found a place to stay though my beloved Texas crew and off I went without a badge. To Texas.
