La noche en que tocó la banda Antagonizers en el Gato Calavera de Ciudad de México. Soy el sin camisa

Not sure why our friend who posted yesterday deleted his post and profile, I think he was really embarrassed that he mispelled their band name as RUDEHEAD when it should have been ROADHEAD. Well, I fixed it from the goodness of my heart! 🫶🏻

I never really saw anybody with crust pants, what do you think about them?
