I realize almost every Austin person reading this either bought the tickets when they went on sale many months ago or has plans to give a scalper $200-$300 dollars to see The Mentors tonight but for the handful who’d rather see a band in their prime, Auckland, NZ trio The Civil Union are playing at RUBBERNECK‘s anniversary party at Beerland.

Not for the first time, I have to object to the blatant starfuckery taking place in this city. I couldn’t hear myself think amongst all the commotion at Justine’s last night as a mob scene formed around Sickie Wifebeater and Dr. Heathen Scum’s table.
