everyone’s collective dicks right in the dirt.
It doesn’t really matter how good a band is, this is No Fraud, and they will make pretty much anyone look half-assed were they to share a bill with them. Why do you think the Stones never have them open?
This said, I did rather enjoy Manic and the Depressive’s terse set of better than usual punk fare. They are worth checking out. And from Miami came Pool Party who are nothing short of great. Fun, self deprecating and with nothing serious to scream about, made for a memorable show with songs like “I Was a Teen-age Weirdo” and “Evil Tonite.” The lesson here is anyone who has a song you’re singing along with by the time the second chorus rolls around, did something right.

I’m not exactly sure of the details of the incident, but Tight Genes set was cut short by someone’s extra punk-ish behavior. Their set went sideways and ended as quick as it started.
No Fraud came on and delivere 30 of the busiest minutes you’ll ever experience. Moving with the speed of papparazo’s trying to get that Last pic of Lady Di, No Fraud slammed through a 18 song set with a punishing efficiency.
Vocalist Dan Destructo blasts through the crowd, on top of the bar, and out in the street, maintaining a pace you’d more expect from the Tasmanian Devil. The audience was transfixed, save for the one annoying girl who kept prattling on a bout her missing car keys. The band is tight. Like caught in a vice tight.
You probably missed this show, so shame on you. It can be easy to take an artist for granted when they’ve been around a long time. I spoke with lots of people at the show who said similar things. “I saw them in the 80’s.”

“I played a show with them in the 90’s.”
“Saw the in 2013 and I’ve seen them 4 times since.”
Watching No Fraud perform live is a lot like witnessing an old master show everyone just how much more they have yet to learn.
