Hey! Welcome back to another week in Duane’s Pit Stop. This week, as promised, we are displaying some picture’s from The Shrooms and The Thrusters along with The La Bestia pictures taken just a couple of weeks ago in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles, CA. All of these bands are rad so check them out if you're in LA. I also wanted to respond to
Mark
Dang from San Francisco, CA. on his question of "Have you heard the latest Pixies live material?" Well
Mark,
I actually downloaded the bootleg version on-line and the selection of songs of that live performance were incredible. And the band has never sounded better; a must if you’re a Pixies fan. Hell, I may just break down and actually buy the CD when it comes out. And with that final note, let’s get to the news.

The new album from
Florida
's Underoath, "They're Only Chasing Safety," hits stores everywhere on June 15th on Tooth & Nail/Solid State Records.
Fugazi bass player - Joe Lally, has announced the launch of a new website to sell CDs of the first of the many live recordings Fugazi has collected over the band's 15+ year career. The website can be found by going to:
http://www.fugaziliveseries.com
Now, here is a description of the Fugazi "Live" site from the band:
"For many years, Fugazi has made a point of taping our live shows. We started out using a simple cassette recorder, moved on to a digital audio tape recorder (DAT) and finally just burned straight on to CDs. Our past attempts at releasing a definitive live show proved fruitless as we could never settle on performances we all felt represented the band at it's best. Instead it was decided that some day we would try to find an easy way to make as many of the tapes available to people as we could.
This site marks the beginning of that concept - a basic testing of the waters to see what, if any, interest there is. We have digitally transferred an initial sampling of tapes from our archives and for every order we receive, we will burn a CD copy of the show requested using a generic cover with concert information and a track listing.
These are very much the original recordings without any attempt to correct for things like volume changes, strange mixing effects, or the occasionally out-of-tune guitar. Though the sound quality on these tapes does vary, if a show was too poorly recorded it didn't make the cut. There will be more shows added as interest indicates and time permits but for now here's twenty."
