MP3: Asta Kask - Ringhals brinner
Tonight! In Seattle! The US live debut of Asta Kask! Is that for real? Can it be true that it's taken 30-some years for Swedish punks Asta Kask to finally grace our shores? Regardless, I'm incredibly excited for the show, not just because my own dumb band is playing too, but also because it's Friday and it's beautiful outside and I'm just feeling good. However, I must admit that I'm embarrassingly unfamiliar with a good portion of Asta Kask's back catalogue. Thank goodness for the internet though, I know how I'll be spending my day.
