Punk Rock Prom!

If you are tired of the same old worn out prom themes and over priced formal wear then the  80s themed Punk Rock Prom thrown by Waco's own Spin Connection Record Store was for you! For just $4 you got to attend this family friendly event thrown inside the record store. The line consisted of a few local Waco bands followed by 2 hit bands from Austin to close it out. While I missed some of the performances I did get to watch the 2 heavy hitters out of Austin I have written about before The Irons and Trace of Lime! First up was the Irons and just like at Pinewoods block party they put on one heck of a show! While most of their line up consisted of their own wonderfully written songs there was a minor delay with one of Trace of Limes's band members and they managed to stall perfectly and sing some awesome covers! The crowd favorite of course being Weezers Say It Aint so. When they still had more time left they brought some audience members up to offer their free style skills and went from a concert to just some strangers all jamming out and having a great time! In my opinion though the true star of the show was their 19 year old saxophonist who just absolutely  killed it on his sax and gave some face melting solos on it! Many first time fans were super impressed with both his performance and the band as a whole. After being fashionably late it was time for Trace of Lime to take the stage  and as usual they provided a great mix of both their own songs and covers this time with a bit of 80's flair! The crowd this time was very lively and at certain points a mosh pit started to form and people were jumping and singing it was beautiful organized chaos! Like always they did the crowd favorite Girls Just Want to Have fun but also did a great Love Shack cover that I last saw at SXSW and got the crowed all sorts of excited and involved.However one I had not heard the do before was a cover of The Rammones I Wanna Be Sedated and like always they absolutely killed it! I look forward to throwing both Trace of Lime and The Irons on the show so stay tuned on Tuesday nights to hear them!
