    Ink and Iron Festival Music

    Saturday, June 7, 2008, 12:05 PM PST [General]

    Okay, so yesterday I was kind of trapped at the Stampede Saloon (we were loading out another show at the other side of the dome) at the Ink and Iron festival down in the LBC when Chapel of Thieves went on. They were the first band to play--and we all know about opening acts--but you know what? They were totally worth checking out! Sort of gothic SoCal punk.

    Or maybe it was just that it was cool to watch fork lifts and semis zooming around the Spruce Goose dome to the music--sort of like some sort of bizarro ballet.

    I wish I'd realized that the last band of the night would be Black Rebel Motorcycle Club--maybe then I would have stuck around! :( I also missed the Black Angels! :( But I'd seen them recently, too.

    But seriously, if you are into the inkeed lifestyle, or custom cars and lowriders, or rockabilly, get yourself down to the Queen Mary pronto!

    LOL I actually don't have a clue how people are chosen but I'm positive it has to do a lot with how active that person is on the forums and such. I knew of Marissa cuz she IMed me to ask how it was gonna be since I was a previous host.
