Hey guys,
This is my last blog update for awhile. With summer right around the corner, I am going to take a much needed break. I suggest that out Birmingham Weekly for upcoming events around Birmingham.
Farewell,

RPR presents: COLISEUM / BLACK HOLE KIDS / YOU'RE WRONG
Time: Friday, May 6 at 9:00pm - May 7 at 12:00am Location: The Bottletree Cafe
Show starts at 9
18+
Tickets are $10
How much change is a band willing to endure in pursuit of a dream? In the case of Coliseum, as much as it takes. In the three years since their second album, No Salvation, the Louisville power trio have changed labels, producers, engineers, and replaced the frenetic breakneck speed of former drummer Chris Maggio with the emphatic rhythmic stomp of Carter Wilson - all in the service of producing the album they always dreamed of. ...That album is House With A Curse, their third full-length and first for Temporary Residence Ltd. For the first time in their nearly decade-long career, the trio play like a singular unit, commanding an agile, indestructible army of enormous riffs grounded by the head-nodding, foot-stomping rhythm section of Wilson and long-time bassist Mike Pascal. Guitarist/vocalist Ryan Patterson's gravel-throated proclamations are more personal than ever, reflecting against himself and projecting to the outside world.
Locals Black Hole Kids and You're Wrong share members and dish out similar styles of hardcore punk with aesthetics ranging from intricate, chaotic, pensive, abrasive, psychedelic, and etc.

Help UAB feed the hungry

Location: UAB Commons on the Green
For UAB Students: Got extra dining dollars or meals on your UAB mealplan? Well, the Birmingham Freethought Society has teamed up with the Magic City Harvest to give you a shot at using them to do good.
For the designated dates, there will be a U.M.A.D.D. (Unused Meals And Dinning Dollars) account set up on all registers in the Commons. All you need to do is tell the cashier what you want to donate. We'll be pooling all the donations to purchase food in bulk, which will then be passed along to MCH for distribution. It's really that simple.
