![]() ![]() To that end, I made special legacy albums of each of the proper albums that replaced an iconic rock cover with the Dwarves logo or imagery. We had the Mikey Erg band booked, but did not announce them for about a month as he was playing another Philly show before Soiree 6 and I didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes.įor the Dwarves themselves, the band just re-released their entire discography under their own umbrella, so the band and I decided to formulate the show as DWARVES LEGACY, in a way to celebrate the band’s astoundingly awesome 40 year discography. ![]() On top of that, I booked the awesome Vixen 77 who smash it out in the vein of the Runaways meets Bikini Kill as well as Philly death punk masters Zorn, who I knew would blow people’s minds. Danbert, the anarcho punk icon who went on to sell millions and millions and millions of records, is the REAL FRIKKIN DEAL. I asked Danbert if he wanted to play, even though he lives on the other side of the country, and without hesitation, he responded “sure!” It’s one thing when musicians are rad on record and have a powerful message, but it is entirely another thing when they prove themselves, time and time again, to be the real frikkin deal. And because this gig was very special to me, I reached out to who I think the perfect contrast to the Dwarves is- Danbert of Chumbawamba. I wanted each act to be unique and stand out from the other. So, as I’m sure you have seen, I started posting in February “come to this show, it WILL sell out.” Plus, at a very reasonable $22 to boot.(more on that later). But, if there’s one thing we do at Punknews is over do and never let a joke die. So, I canceled ALL of my PRB plans, unloaded my ticket cheaply, and re-ignited Summer Soiree, which I sort of had put to rest, having ended on a high note. Then and there, I realized that THIS was my chance to have Dwarves headline a Summer Soiree, something that I’ve had in the back of my mind since Soiree 2. …And then Dwarves announced a single East Coast date during PRB weekend- Maryland’s Hell in the Harbor. Still, PRB is always a good time, so I went ahead and booked my hotel (El Cortez- best place in Vegas), my rental car, and plane ticket. The 2023 PRB lineup had some great acts- The Damned, Sloppy Seconds, Suzi Moon, Surfbort, Rancid- but I’ve seen all of those acts recently and there didn’t seem to be a cohesive lineup where the whole event felt special, ala the year with FLAG, Damned, Specials, Fucked up, Coathangers, Sloppy Seconds, and way more. In fact I was so set on PRB, I had purchased a “blind ticket” wherein you get a discount by buying a ticket before any act is announced… and then the acts were announced… SUMMER SOIREE 6 My original plan was to go to Punk Rock Bowling and maybe not even do a Summer Soiree 6, with summer Soiree 5 (Joe Jack Talcum and Marissa Paternoster) having been a smashing success. It also included between the bands, a showing of the short films of Jesse Michaels. This week's installment includes a recap of our annual Summer blow out, Summer Soiree 6, which took place on May 26 and included performances by Dwarves, Zorn, Danbert Nobacon of Cumbawamba, vixen 77, and the Mikey Erg band.
