This Friday, September 24th, at 9 pm, Hardcoretet will be playing with Friendly Creature and Chemical Clock at Cafe Racer.

Summer Wrap-up
Well, Summer is coming to a close, and it’s been a while since I’ve written here, so I thought I would try to bring the season to a conclusion by looking back on what’s been happening. I’ve been lucky. Just looking at the photos that were taken over the season bring me back to many […]
Sasquatch/IO Awards

Hardcoretet Tourblog, days 2 and 3
Bocci’s Cellar Monday night began as possible tragedy but ended in triumph. We arrived to the gig to find another band set up inside…the gig had been double booked!
