It's punk rock bowling time. That's right for the 24th year. One of the greatest

0:06.8

festivals on earth in my opinion returns to downtown Las Vegas the weekend of May 25th, 26th and 27th.

0:15.9

I have had some of my greatest times playing this thing,

0:18.8

and just hanging out of this thing.

0:20.3

You want to know how much this festival speaks to turn out of punk's mindset?

0:23.4

The headliners are Devo, Descendants, and Madness.

0:27.6

Every day of this festival, the line up is stacked with amazing bands of all types and stripes of punk and

So you turn around and all of a sudden you're gambling beside John Doe from X. I don't know if John Doe gambles, but if you turn

1:27.2

around on the buffet line you'll probably see me. And you better believe we're going to be talking

1:30.3

about punk music. And because this festival loves this

1:33.2

podcast as much as this podcast loves this festival, punk rock bowling is

1:38.3

bringing you a series of special episodes. So each and every week I will have an episode going up

1:44.0

featuring someone that's playing this festival and hot damn are there some good ones

1:49.7
