KEN Mode, Frail Bodies, Feral Light, at the Turf Club in Minneapolis October 2022

 Here is another show my brother found out about when I went to visit him for his birthday in Minneapolis. His birthday is late October so it must have been that month. Also, last year (2023) we went to a volleyball game, not a show, so this must be from 2022. KEN Mode had just put out a new album, Null.

Defeat the Purpose, Rival Cults, and Dirt Fight at Johnny's Bar and Grill in Lompoc

 This is another show from a while back. I happen to have the flyer, so I have evidence it was Friday August 11th, probably 2023! Rival Cults has since toured the Pacific Northwest and played in LA and San Luis Obispo as well. Their lineup features ex-members of Uphill Battle, Embassy, Stratego, Incurable Complaint, and a ton of other Goleta hardcore bands, although they currently play "country goth punk" which sounds like a cross between Arctic Flowers, Fields of Nephilim (I hear), and Joy Division.

Jade Dust at UCSB

 


This show was from a few years ago, and Rival Cults were supposed to play at a gallery space in UCSB's art department. However, they had to cancel. At this time, Jade Dust was just about to release their second 12" record "Wild Geese" which is a split release between Ebullition records and Extinction Burst. At this time, they are about to release a third record. I hope I get to see them again. If you live in Portland, check them out!
