It's been over a week already since I went to the Real Sickies and Napalmpom show at 9910. Also on the bill was a band called the 20/20's. This was my first time going to this venue in downtown Edmonton. It's a pretty cool room for a show, it is in a basement and is a nice open venue with great sight lines and sound.
The first band of the evening was local band the 20/20's which is a band led by Dana Robertson who used to front a band called Punched Unconscious. This four piece band were loud and reminded me of the Ramones. A great band to get the night started. Lead singer Dana had all the moves and shouted his head off. I thought their set ran a little long, but was still good.
20/20's.
Next up was Calgary band Napalmpom. This would be my third time seeing them live, and as always, so much fun. They are all the classic rock fun you expect rolled into one, all that with a punk edge as well. Great songs, good vibes, awesome energy and the guys look to be having a blast on stage.

Headliner of the night was Edmonton punkers Real Sickies. this was my fourth time seeing them in concert. Led by Ben Disaster on vocals with two guitar players this time around. Last time I saw them which wasn't long ago, they only had one guitarist and he was brand new. But this time around they had their original guitar player back with the new guy. It was good to see them back as a five piece band. If you are looking for 70's influenced punk rock this is the band. High energy, especially from Ben. He such a great lead man, that you can't help but get into the music. The crowd was very much into it as they were moshing around like crazy. I fuckin' love this band and am always up for seeing them play. A very fun night of Alberta punk rock. Good times!!!
