Hello everyone and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back in the week in Punknews. I'm Bryne Yancey and I'll be your guide through some of the juiciest, most popular and otherwise noteworthy stories from the last seven days. Remember, every Punknews story is built from tips from our wonderful, good-looking readers, so get to submitting. Here's what got the strange, slow and old community talking this week:
- The Vans Warped Tour announced the dates for its 2011 run. Expect the 2012 dates to be announced next week.
- The Misfits replaced drummer Robo, who played with the band in 1982 and 1983, and then from 2005 until recently. Let us all momentarily turn our devilocks to the side in memoriam.
- Civet had their van stolen which lead to a high-speed chase, gunfire, and a collision with a poor fire hydrant.
- RVIVR posted their new EP Dirty Water for donation-based download. Some proceeds will go toward getting the band a decent press photo.
- Plan-It-X Fest was announced for 2011, then sold out in a mere 3 hours. Wear deodorant, folks.
- The Ataris are streaming their new 7-inch. Kris Roe looks forward to your comments.
With that, we hand over this Sunday evening to the Punknews community, where anything is possible, from the next amusing-then-overwrought meme, to the creation of bands and message boards, to alienating sports chatter. So talk amongst yourselves and we'll see you Monday morning.
