NICE VANS!
Lagwagon
Dinwoodie Lounge • Aug. 29
$24 | Ticketmaster.ca
The band’s namesake is a beat-up old van that the boys used to tour around in. Apparently it was a fat wreck, unlike the 10 albums they’ve released through the Fat Wreck Chords label (hmm). A shot of the old tour-mobile is featured on the cover of their album Trashed. The band took a hiatus in 2000, but they’ve regrouped and will be bringing yet another “Feedbag of Truckstop Poetry” to dump in the musical trough for all the punk-rock kiddies to lap up. Yum... tasty.
GREAT SCOTS!
The Real McKenzies
New City • Sep. 4
$16 | Megatunes, New City
Imagine Sid Vicious and Scottish poet Robbie Burns had seven love children (all boys). Okay, fine, that’s impossible. But if it were you’d end up with The Real McKenzies. Any band that forms for the sole purpose of maintaining a perpetual state of “Ceilidh” — that’s Gaelic for “wicked party” — since ‘94. is going to put on a wild show. Aside from a massive coronary and/or liver failure there’s no reason why their E-town stop would be anything but raucous.
CRAZY GYPSIES!
The Johnsons
The Pawn Shop • Aug. 30
$5 | Free before 10:30 p.m.
No body likes a quitter, so come throw tomatoes at Nate as he plays his last show with Edmonton’s dirtiest punk-rock Gypsy scum. The Johnsons have been shredding the gnarl since ‘86 and have earned their monicker “Gypsies for Life” with more than 600 shows (including a Japanese tour) under their belt. If you don’t like the show then maybe you’ll still be a fan of Dan’s delicious culinary stylings at Tasty Toms on Whyte. It’s the perfect hangover food.
