Want to get a crash course in Cleveland’s underground rock scene today? Head down to Pat’s in the Flats tomorrow for Pat’s Fest 2012. Instead of having to go to six or seven different shows at Now That’s Class or the Happy Dog to hear them on separate bills, you can hear ten brash, edgy bands who don’t play any Nickelback covers — or it they do, you can bet they’re being ironic. Music starts at 5:30 and, best of all, it’s free.
The lineup includes Founding Fathers, Little Bighorn, Wooly Bullies, All Dinosaurs, Tinko, Obnox, Prisoners, Filmstrip, Uno Lady, and Ragers.

What a joke! Another ‘pay to play’ fiasco I’m sure. It’s sad that in Cleveland, the so-called ‘rock&roll capitol of the world’, bands are shit-on like they are by local establishments. I’m sure these poor bands have to ‘sell’ their own tickets to go and play their 20 minute set along with 10 other bands. It’s a shame, really is…..
Another trolling the web with your head up your ass fiasco
