We’ve officially decided that Friday (12/9) is a Chuck Ragan Themed Day because we’re bringing the goods. Don’t believe us? Well, look no further than the awesomeness below.
For starters, a new Chuck Ragan shirt is up for sale in our Online Store.
The design was by our buddy, Dirk Fritz of Independent.Intensio. The shirt’s logo is modeled after a French tea company called Marriage Frere.
And there’s more: Anybody who buys this shirt is automatically entered to win a Revival Tour Long Sleeve shirt (XL size only) by Lee and a copy of Chuck’s latest album Covering Ground on Green Vinyl. Check it…
Our friend on Twitter, @ChuckRaganFacts helped in bringing up the idea to do something special with our Chuck Ragan items in our store so we decided what perfect way than with the inclusion of a new shirt.
So that’s it, you buy a new Chuck Ragan shirt in our Online Store and we’ll choose a lucky winner from that bunch for the Revival Tour Long Sleeve. December 15, we announce the winner. Just in time for Christmas.
Oh wait… almost forgot. The following won’t be in for a few days but guess what? You know those rad posters that El Jefe always makes for us? He’s done it once AGAIN with a kickass Chuck Ragan Tour Poster. We’ll announce when this will go on sale soon but we thought we’d include it in this post.
We present to you the Chuck Ragan Covering Ground Calendar.
TADOW! HOW YOU LIKE CHUCK NOW?

Ok, this is seriously and awesomely important.
Last week we did a little Autumn cleaning and went through a few boxes of test pressings. We decided that it’d be way better that fans have them than them sitting in boxes in our office. With that being said, the test pressings for the albums listed below are up for auction on our eBay.
There’s more though. ALL of the proceeds from the Big D and the Kids Table Fluent In Stroll auction are going to Dave McWane to help cover the cost of his medical bills associated with his fight against throat cancer. Also, a portion of the proceeds from all the other auctions will be going to Dave as well.
Here’s a list of all the test pressings that we have up for auction:
7 Seconds-Take It Back Take It Over

Last month, Big D and the Kids Table played The Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas while on their headlining tour and Punks In Vegas were there to document the night!
Read the review below and check out more pictures HERE!
It’s only been a few months since Boston’s Big D and the Kids Table last played Vegas, but since their two shows this past June consisted of a spot on the Vans Warped Tour and a 21+ after show at the now defunct Divebar, their recent show at the Hard Rock Café was the first time many Vegas ska fans had seen them in quite a while. This meant that the floor, or at least the small section not engulfed by one massive pit of skanking, was in prime condition to shout along with every word from David McWane and crew. McWane proved once again why he is one of the best modern frontmen, his voice sounding amazingly on pitch through songs new and old while staying in constant motion on stage. Between songs, McWane entertained the crowd with stories of the road and brimmed with excitement while explaining how his recent foray into the world of tweeting resulted in the band getting to spend their upcoming off day on the set of the Price is Right. I was happy that the band pulled out one of my personal favorites “The One,” but the biggest crowd reaction came when they played “L.A.X.,” a fast paced, profanity-laden tale of musical elitism that had everyone singing along while McWane gladly passed the mic through the crowd. Big D’s fellow Bostonians Have Nots filled the spot before Big D, their blend of street punk and ska rock also eliciting a pit barely containable by the small café floor, but filled with a few more mohawks and studs. The band is touring in support of their latest release Proud, with songs like “Louisville Slugger,” “Jackson Dawn,” and the title track getting everyone’s fists pumping and heads bobbing. Co-frontman Jon Cauztik’s threat of performing a Katy Perry cover received a warmer reception than I think the band anticipated, but I found myself much happier with the cover they actually played, “(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais” by The Clash. The band’s sound has a lot of Clash influence in it and they did the English punk pioneers well with their rendition. In the opening slots were two fun and talented local ska acts, the slightly Big D-esq Everyone Meltdown and the peppy and poppy Tuesday After School. The bands’ friends and family came out in full support and it’s always good to see local bands get the opportunity to play larger venues like this.
