Featured Gallery Music Punk Rock Pool Party: Old Man Markley
One of the best things about Summertime is the abundance of pool parties. But if that pool party is in Las Vegas and Old Man Markley is playing, then it’s possibly the Best Pool Party Ever!
Iron Fist Clothing hosted the Punk Rock Pool Party and Bikini Contest at the Goldspike Hotel in Vegas, just off historic Freemont Street in Old Las Vegas. The pool area itself is classic mid-century motor inn, far from the shadow of the McHotels on the strip. Perfect for sunbathing! And an afternoon invasion from punks around the globe (including Canada and Australia!) which didn’t seem to bother the hotel staff one bit.

Gallery Music NOFX as told by Christine “Cece” Sherman
Long Beach resident Christine “Cece” Sherman has taken on a daunting task: to learn every song ever written by Californian punk rock legends NOFX and re-interpret them as folk songs on the acoustic guitar. NOFX’s lyrical depth and poignant satire take on a whole new life when stripped down to their basics. Grown men have been known to shed a tear when hearing the songs executed so delicately.
There’s Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Woody and Arlo Guthries, and now… Cece Sherman? Stranger things have happened.
Since debuting last fall, Cece, as she is called by friends, has already opened for such acts as Chuck Ragan, The Aggrolites, Exene Cervenka and The White Buffalo. And she made her first official tour to Austin to play alongside bands Cheap Girls, Continental, Joey Briggs, The Sparring and Death Punch at the Slidebar/Old Shoe Records/Iron Fist Clothing day party during SXSW 2011.
Between sets, Cece busked along 6th Street and that’s where we made this video of Eat The Meek.

Gallery Music NOFX: Success Is A Drag
Legendary punks NOFX are known for pushing boundaries.
Their cutting edge documentary NOFX: Backstage Passport shocked TV viewers with their global escapades in debauchery on tour when it aired on Fuse in 2008. Earlier this year, singer Fat Mike’s alter ego Cokie The Clown got banned from Emo’s in Austin, Texas when he served what appeared to be urine-infused tequila to an audience of unsuspecting fans (it later proved to be an elaborate hoax). Now for the band’s latest exploit: NOFX dressed in full drag for their New Year’s Heave party at the Wiltern.
