This weekend hails the Live Free or Die Tattoo Expo in Manchester, NH. The Expo will go from Friday, July 23rd through Sunday, July 25th. Artists including the legendary Lyle Tuttle, Nick Malasto, and hundreds more will be attending. Proud to say our hometown shop Yankee Tattoo will also be there. Space and tickets are still available. Don’t be shy…go get inked this weekend and send us your pics!
The ONLY album worth buying this week is Norma Jean’s Meridional. Have you heard it yet?
Meat Loaf will be touring up and down the northeast in the next couple of weeks. If you’re anything like me, this is something you wouldn’t want to miss. Sure, Meat Loaf’s name gets announced and I think of the obvious “…But I won’t do that” but it also reminds me of his performance in Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny. Meat Loaf will be promoting his newest album Hang Cool Teddy Bear. Check below for some dates in the northeast. For a complete list of tour dates click here.

Like horror movies? Like foreign horror movies? [REC] 2 is set to open in limited release on July 9, 2010 in the U.S. Check your local theaters to see if they’ll be showing it. [REC] 2 is a Spanish film following the first film [REC]. [REC] 2 starts 15 minutes after the first film ends, continuing the story of the quarantined apartment building. [REC] may look familiar to you since it was remade in U.S. under the title Quarantine. Highly recommended if you enjoy claustrophobic, suspenseful films.
Although they won’t be making it to the northeast, this tour is well worth traveling to. Baroness will be joining Deftones on a U.S. tour. If additional dates are announced we’ll be sure to announce it here. Below are the details.
