Fort Faxon: We got down. The cops sometimes don't hate.

We rock out so hard on friday night May 16th 2008. We had a round robin concert. each band played two songs and then we would switch to another. Some others called it the rock rotation. The point is we got down, and let the heavans know how the mortals party.
It was stressful trying to keep the party under the police's radar. I kept hearing sirens mixed in with the powerful sound blarring from the garage.
The bands that played were Tatanka Iyotakehttp://www.myspace.com/tatankasf, Swank, Ordstro, Gunner and Hihennas from San Jose. Thank Dio, none of the bands decided to hold back. It was pedal to the metal type playing from the start. Tatanka hit the stage and got the crowd pumped. The next band Ordstro built a brick wall of power. They were loud, intricate, and played there music from the gut. Swank got down, and I will tell you the head banging came with a punch. The crowd was forced to open wid and take in the entire ear full. The Hihennas were putting the rock on the line with the force. The lead singer rocked some turquoise with flare and stood tall and belted loud. Gunner showed up as late arrivals and threw down so hard that there set broke the garage door.
Gunner's preformance brought on the destruction of the bottom panel of Fort Faxon's Garage door. The people were rocking out too hard, and there was a unamious refusal on any kind of limitation.
With the garage door in shambles, and almost eighty people cramed in the side yard i felt the heat rise. The garage was also packed. The movement brought made some room but also caused some arguments. The passion is there and when people are ready to rock they usually go crazy.
Robert Serviss the newest memeber of Faxon Pride, was and awesome co-host. He put his heart and mind on the line just to make the show happen. He loves to rock and his commitment to the power of momentum is steady. Robert is a good man that deserves respect, and a just salutations from all the rockers at Faxon that night. Robert Serviss and your's truly Tony Fantano definetly got pulled the rock to one location and added a new chapter to the saga of the Golden Gator Rockers.

Ripping up down by Ocean Beach

San Francisco has a wide variety of neighborhoods that possess their own individual character. These characteristics help distinguish each one of the small communities that blanket this seven by seven mile urban peninsula. There is no determining which neighborhood is most appealing, except for the Sunset District. It's the only San Francisco neighborhood that doesn't possess a unique and lively attitude. In it's own way the Sunset does standout because it is so dull.

The Sunset District is a miniature suburbia on the west edge of city. It's located just south of Golden Gate Park and just north of San Francisco State University. The dull family-oriented atmosphere in the Sunset is pleasant but cold. Enduring the frequent fog, Sunset San Franciscans (Sunseters) primarily keep to themselves. Sunset Residents have no reason to talk to someone they don't know; so they usually don't.

On the night of March 15th 2008, the Golden Gator Rockers brought the rock to the sunset. At the invitation of our dear friend Nikki Lapage, the Rockers got down in the name of an unearthly demon that was summoned by the horde's collective surge to inspire the residents of The Sunset District. At the corner of 47th Avenue and Irving Street in what San Franciscans call the "outer sunset", the fun began. At 8pm the bands began to turn the heat up with an unrelenting thrill to give the Golden Gator rock hordes the sound they desired.

The first band to play was Scurvy and the Pox, an up and coming band that put the crowd in its place. Like the blue flames heating up on a gas stove top, there was an unspoken anticipation warming up as the next band took the stage. Street Justice played hard, fast and balls out. In a refusal to fade into the soul-less limits of the Sunset District, they created harmonic ruckus. After one song they were done and the hordes were left stupefied.
The next band Black America pleased the garage gods and brought a long awaited east bay influence to the occasion.
As the nighttime fog began to roll in from the Pacific Ocean, Tony Fantano raised his tomahawk high into the air and welcomed low looming clouds. Tatanka Iyotake had played that night for one reason to inspire the Sunset District. In an effort to set the entire Sunset District ablaze in rock n' roll frenzy, Tatanka Iyotake played hard and true. Even though there were not any sudden flames, the souls of everyone in attendance that night burned brightly like a light tower in the lifeless streets of The Sunset District.
As the party ended and the Golden Gator rock hordes dispersed, the thick fog encompassed the night. The soul-powered fire was extinguished by the silence of the Sunset District. Long live Rock n Roll!
