I've seen the Punks in Las Vegas, Anaheim, and Sacramento, and the shows have been great everytime! I was wondering, do the guys transport themselves and their equipment on their own to each gig, or do they have hired techs to help? I know they're a tribute band, so I wasn't sure if they are completely a "grass roots" effort, or if they have people "on staff" to help with driving, scheduling, etc.

I'm sick of my job, so if they're any openings, let me know! [Wink]

It depends on where the show is, the guys drive to a lot of the shows, but are flown to some by promoters, and normally don't use their own equipment when playing out of state, like POV's in Minnesota for example. Joe and Russ bring their own axes to those out of state shows, but the rest is rented equipment usually. They have guys helping them from time to time setting up yes, but for the most part, the guys do a lot of it themselves. It all just depends on the place and situation.

So do they flip a coin to see who's going to be the driver? Sacramento's a long haul [Razz]
