Fist Fight in the Parking Lot Verb. \if you can’t pronounce this one, we have problems\
1. A song written by Fred Armisen for a skit from Saturday Night Live called ‘Band Reunion at the Wedding’ where Ashton Kutcher and Dave Grohl do a tribute to hardcore punk with their mock band Crisis of Conformity.
2. An Innervenus rock band formed in 2009 right here in the ‘burgh. A female fronted foursome, this band will rock your face off with their modern take on a vintage sound and captivate you with their stage charisma.
Fist Fight in the Parking Lot is the type of band that you can take your girlfriend to see and she won’t be tearing at your hoodie to leave after the first song. Comprised of Jason Sichi, Johnnie McCallough, and Chris Ruane (MojoFilter, Venus in Furs) along with Abby Krizner (Motorpsychos), this band’s hard hitting sound is certain to catch in your ear like a fire to kindling. Their gritty, raw and moving sound has built an energetic, passionate following of fans all around Pittsburgh and into Ohio where they have actively played during the past year. Being no stranger to a Fist Fight in the Parking Lot show, I have watched them grow as a band and they get more cohesive and tighter each time they perform. The stage commands attention when they perform on it, and you will be enticed to keep listening. Come out and give a listen for yourself!
The Fist Fight in the Parking Lot CD release party is on February 25th 2012 at the 31st Street Pub with Chux Beta and Sistered.
A new year is eternally symbolic of change and reflection. Although it is sad to see the present slowly filter itself into the past, it leaves room for growing and thriving. 2012 will be a very bustling, productive year for Innervenus. New releases mean shows and parties, spring tour, and a burst of new recording to keep the fire alive.
The Innervenus Street Team is in full swing! While we have an excellent foundation of street team members, spreading the word is no easy task. There is a need for online promoting and advertising as well as material distribution in the actual brick and mortar locations. SO… if you want to join the team and have a computer but limited time/traveling capabilities, you can still become involved! Send us an email at innervenus@innervenus.org to get started!
