We Sold Our Souls For Rock n Roll

So this weekend I got a chance to catch the Read (say it like the red) play at the Grand Manor. The Read are an awesome band from Cincinnati who play some very good, very dancey punk rock. Here's a video:




I first saw the Read play sometime last summer over at the Grand Manor. My band, the Drinkin' Lincolns got a chance to open up for them last March and it was amazing. We played a cramped basement in Pilsen where the ceiling was just inches away from our heads. The space had previously been used for some kind of performance art piece, and there was baby powder all over the floor. This caused the entire floor of the basement to become a slippery suicide run for those inclined to dance about. Many knee injuries were sustained that night. Their shows are a sweaty, glorious riot. I defy you not to move to their music. Also, Mitch licked my nipple. Always a plus.

Check them out.
