Bad Brains openers, Leeway, the Superbowl of Hardcore & Rollins
LEEWAY
Openers have been announced for the two Bad Brains shows @ CBGB:
Feb 24: Leeway , Ensign , UPNRUNNIN , and Charge
Feb 25: Leeway , DNME , Vacancies , and Bedouin Soundclash
Leeway are back, and in addition to the Bad Brains (who they toured with in 1989) shows, they're confirmed, along with Killing Time, Doomsday Device (OBHC) and District 9, for the annual 'Superbowl of Hardcore' which may or may not happen at Roseland Ballroom in NYC, during or after, the last week in March (2006).
In related news, Feb 25th openers Bedouin Soundclash are a popular Toronto "reggae-pop-punk trio" who have ties to Bad Brains, and "American Hardcore" is a new documentary about 1980-1986 punk and hardcore that features Black Flag, Minor Threat, and Bad Brains. It's premiering at Sundance.
And since now we're talking about Black Flag, tickets are about to be on sale for February Henry Rollins spoken word shows at Town Hall in NYC and The Electric Factory in Philly.

NICE!! Bad Brains, Leeway, and Ensign - so fucking good. Seen Bad Brains once. I can finally see Ensign and Leeway. I've been trying to see Ensign since 1998, miss 'em everytime. Can't wait for this show.

These are the types of shows that should get coverage. Aren't there enough sites that cater to wanky,mainstream "indie" rubbish?
