Its not something I'm going to attend, because I'm all about the dark smoky clubs and 100 people in the audience, but if you want to catch a lot of bands under the hot summer sun, Vans Warped Tour features 3 Germs and an actor doing Germs songs, the original Queen of Noise, Joan Jett and the bonafide Buzzcocks. Punk rock bands I loved during the 70s...and its great to see how they can still draw a crowd 30 years later.
Well, I do want to say that Joan Jett has been pretty damn authentic her whole long career, and if I did do big crowds and sunshine, I'd show up just for her set.
