BlackPoo and Hot Pink Sewage: the names alone clear the room; the music fills it back up. Straight from the gutters of Blackpool’s punk underbelly.

Who needs a green room? The Rifleman and Dick Slaughter found Paul Holstein’s suite at the Golden Nugget while he was off gambling during PRB weekend—and raided his beer. They talk about Punk Rock Bowling, old Vegas coke bars, passports, and, of course, rifles.

Our own Dick Slaughter shares his first picks from the Rebellion Festivals—featuring Las Fokin Biches, Peter Hook & The Light, Steve Ignorant, Perrybois, Dollheads, KnuckleHeadz Band, MDC, Subhumans, The Damned, Eve Libertine, Lady Rage, TV Smith… and maybe even you.

The boys are heading back to the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool, England, followed by a takeover of the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas back home in the States.

We all love Charlie Harper and the UK Subs at Rebellion Festival—but maybe not as much as Lorraine Cater. She’s getting geared up for Blackpool by catching Rebellion acts on the road, including the UK Subs, Destructors 82, and Yur Mum at a rare Lincolnshire gig.

I took the long road from California to Blackpool, making a crucial pit stop at Berkeley’s UC Theatre, where TV Smith and The Damned turned back the clock (and blew out the amps).
