Given the big turnout, we were split into two groups before making our way around the city, handing out meals of fried rice, bananas, and bottled water.

Early 2000s Vegas hardcore documentary "Army of Kids" makes its way online - Punks in Vegas Army of Kids, an early 2000s documentary about the Vegas hardcore scene directed by Sasha Perry for CineVegas, has been converted from VHS and posted to YouTube. It’s an absolutely fascinating look at what the scene was like at the turn of the millennium, right before social media and file sharing really disrupted everything. It’s also interesting to see how much things have stayed the same, with venue woes, bands reluctant to make Vegas a regular stop on tour, and the public’s misconception on what the scene is about, remaining ever constant. According to Perry: It was a small scene so we went to every show, didn’t matter the genre, and saw the same kids. Even then I knew how unique that was to our city and despite hating everything else about Las Vegas, it made me love that place just enough.
