Spin love

Comment

In the Johnny Knoxville'd September issue of Spin, the magazine picks the Riverboat Gamblers as #15 of the 25 best live bands in the U.S. of A. Writes the magazine:

Mike Wiebe never met a wall he couldn't bounce off, a lighting rig he couldn't hang from, or a stage monitor he couldn't hurdle. And he's got the bruises and broken bones to prove it. The frontman of these vigorously tuneful Texas punks is truly the hardest-working maniac in rock, and his band is nearly as mobile -- if way more sensible.

Best moment: When it seems like someone's got to call an ambulance. Happens every show.

Vans Warped Tour 2009 Warped just began -- Dallas is the fifth stop -- so Bad Religion, NOFX et al will still be fresh. This year, they've got fewer stages and longer sets (40 minutes instead of 30). Get there early for Colorado duo 3OH!3 and Brit punkers Gallows (pictured, credit Jay West). More info
