TONIGHT:Missoula's Needlecraft throws down some wax

The lovely ladies, oh wait, who is this guitarist....rather.... Our friends in Needlecaraft are releasing a LP through our pals at Wantage USA.  Needlecraft are one of our favorite bands in Missoula. They are personable, approachable, friendly, supportive, DIY as all hell and if it wasn't for Wantage this site would probably not exist.

We can't wait to see how DIY this record is..... they will be touring this summer in support of this release so come out and help a Missoula band and our friends move some records and save up to head east in a few months.

See you at the show!

Missoula melts after Tragedy

After getting back from Portland. A recent purchase of a used His Hero is Gone cd spurred a hunt for footage. This past May Missoula was visited by Portlands' Tragedy. Here is some footage. We were more than glad at MBR to help with passing out handbills and putting up fliers. ENJOY!

Mike Watt's a name up there with folks like D. Boon, Keith Morris, and Kira Roessler, Robo and... uh, you know, people one gets a ticket to see regardless when they're coming to town. Watt was an original member of the Minutemen, legendary 80s funk-punk group whose "econo"/DIY/friends-before-careerism approach to music and shows helped re-define and invigorate underground music for generations. He: used to dress like Fidel Castro at shows, and wrote music on a crop of records that sits high atop the Western punk canon with other stuff like Black Flag, the Meat Puppets, Dead Kennedys, Germs and Red Kross. And the stuff continues to stand the test of time, with songs like the Minutemen's Corona offering the soundtrack to Johnny Knoxville's Jackass show, and everybody and their brother having a well-worn copy of Double Nickels on the Dime.

A few years ago, well, maybe 7 or 8, We Jam Econo, the Story Of the Minutemen was released. It's on Youtube for free here: http://youtu.be/HmKGusadv08

Watt's touring these days with the Missing Men, who're San Pedro punks and who rage full on. We expect greatness.

We are teaming up with Wantage USA to bring you this one Econo. 

Total Fest survivors...feed your hunger for more ROCK!

As though we could not get enough this August- Missoula keeps serving up more. Total Fest is over and not many people seem to be out and about. Some are broke, some are still hung over and some are just plum worn out. Well rest up because Missoula is not quitting yet.

TOTAL FEST alumni Muhamadali are coming back. Last time here they played The Missoula Art Museum with Japanther and blew many the minds. Give 'em a listen!


                                                                                                   
                                           
                                       
This will be going down at Zoo City Apparel at 139 E Main St
this Friday at 9pm. Locals Buddy Jackson, My Two Dads, and Abe Coley add a variety of punk and noise flavorings to this ravenous serving of rock and roll.

Thursday June 14th at ZooCity Apparel

So our friends in Tacocat got in touch with us and told us about a couple RAD! bands that were looking to come to Missoula. It is happening this Thursday (amended to TONIGHT!) at Zoo City Apparel ( 139 E Main St) with Seattles' Pony Time and Stickers. Olympia's SharkPact who played Total Fest X last year at Zoo City with Japanther, also were looking for a date and this worked. Along with newly formed purveyors of Missoula's independent rock scene, Skin Flowers, this is sure to be an event to remember.
