Last weekend we happened to catch up with alternative rock band The Almost at the Warfield in San Francisco, when they cruised into town on their tour with The Used. We hopped on the bus with 'em and talked about their new album (Monster Monster), their next music video (Hands), who cooks dinner on tour and what's up with a few other things in their lives. Check it out - always good times!

Young and Reckless is the name of the new album by Dirty Penny, and it also should be known as the theme to their release party that was held a couple weeks ago in their hometown of Santa Cruz Calif.

We sat down with 'em for a chat on their new music, life on the road, and a session of 'remember that.'

Some highlights: drummer Spanky can't do backflips. Big chunks of metal can hurt tour vans, and I'm a horrible horrible interviewer. Watch all the action right here right here right here.

Posting to that Rad Report site will be light ('er then ususal) today as I am hard-pressed for time due to a very long drive around America. Two days ago I left California and have since hit up Nevada, Oregon and Idaho, where I am located now spending the next couple of days before a return to the Golden State. And as fate would have it, the Warped Tour is making it's annual stop in Boise today, where I happen to be writing this right now. Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord.

As I was saying, I'm very busy doing things. (But always have time for new friends if you're in Boise hit me up on Twit @theradreport.)

Old School stage band D.I. just postd a bunch of their Warped Tour pics on their MySpace. Here's a few and there's many more where that came from.

Last weekend at the San Francisco stop of Warped Tour I met D.I. vocalist (and founding member of Social Distortion and ex-member of The Adolescents) Casey Royer.

Right before I snapped a few pics with Casey he found something blowing by on the ground. 9/11 conspiracy flyer. With a swastica on Obama's head. Way too many conflicting items on page for me to handle. I like life simple.

We'll be spending this lovely 79 degree day under the Bay Bridge on Pier 30/32 listening to punk rock and watching skateboarding at Warped Tour 2009.

We'll post crap throughout the day on Twitter @ twitter.com/theradreport. 

And if you're there hit us up!

Last Wednesday, after a full 10 ten hours at the beach, we hit up the Billabong Design for Humanity charity concert, fashion show, and art exhibit in Hollywood. It was a killer time for all. Venue was great, performances were a blast, fashion show spun minds, and the art was very impressive.

We followed Iglu & Hartly backstage after their set for some good laughs, salami throwing, and just general rock and roll all night. Earlier in the day I heard the guys just wrapped a video shoot for their current single DayGlo. Jarvis agreed to tell us a few details on camera. Sorry for the production quality. And the yelling. It was loud back there. What we did get is their new video is a stop motion film with some hotties and a lot of jumping. I like!

I edited a couple of my clips together check it out.

I know my answer. Have for years. But it's been reinspired from one of my most favorite songs (of day, hah, Gimme Sympathy by Metric). Anyways, vote!
