Due to relationship-related social pressures, I once had to post a plug for a show by a *shit* band (and a San Francisco band, at that). This ex and the shit bassist in the shit band were way-back chums. Since I pretend I have a readership, it pained me to suggest said phantom readership go see all that shit. Today, I'm no longer in that relationship, and I'm free to endorse only quality friend-bands. And yet I let Battleship's first local show since getting back from tour go unpreslobbered-on. Now I have to atone for that, too. So: 11/2 at Gilman, Battleship, and god they're good, for punk rockers. And their fans, Aleks can attest, have exquisite aim.
