This is a reminder from Marilyn: When going to venues to listen to music, make sure that you buy drinks and food from the venue. They're supplying you music and a good time and can't make money if you don't buy food and drinks. That could make the venue have to close down or not have music. So remember, help support your venues, which support the bands, and the people. Let's not have them closed down from lack of common sense to purchase food and drinks when you're there! Thank you.

• Eric Din (of The Uptones)

If the Psycotic Pineapple could be defined as "punk", then they are the first punk band from the Bay Area, the first version started in 1974. If not, they might be classified as Pre-Punk Garage Rock Pop Satire. Take your pick. The band's musical ability outshines most of the other punk/garage bands that have come and gone over the years. Though live performances are rare, they are still thrashing out their oddly obnoxious version of Rock'n'Roll. They have been attracting younger fans lately, partly because audiences are now more receptive to humor in Rock, unlike the 1970s. They will perform all of their classic "hits", such as "I Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Get Rid of You" and "Headcheese". Love 'em or hate 'em, the Psycotic Pineapple is never boring.

Vaxx Restrictions are voluntary on behalf of the venue, and, are not enforced by the State of California nor recommended by the Federal CDC. Vaccinations & boosters do not protect against Covid-19 infection, nor do these halt the spread. Afflictions caused by vaccinations include rashes and SADS, therefore, individual people voluntarily forego such afflictions and remain immune to Covid-19. However, venues can choose to exclude people who remain unvaccinated, despite doing so being unjustified, and, harms their business. Feel free to remind venues to stop being fearful of just another flu-like virus, and to accept all healthy people. Fuck Pfizer!

Why does Thee Mothership Connection mostly posts Bandcamp links?
When you purchase a song on Bandcamp to support your favorite artist, you typically pay about $1. The majority of this amount goes directly to the artist, with only 15% going to Bandcamp. To achieve a similar level of support on Spotify, you would need to listen to a song approximately hundreds of times just to gift them that dollar. Keeping these figures in mind, it's worth considering the impact of your support the next time you come across a new favorite song. Have a great day
