This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say.

Acidstone rock the stage last Friday August 21, 2009 at Bela Bar in P. Guevarra St., San Juan.  The event was titled “No Heroics 2 – Slackers Reunite.”  Acidstone was joined by 4 other bands so the night was filled with music.  They do not know when was the last time Acidstone played, as far as we remember it was last March during the Acidstone @ Bela Bar or June during a gig at MagNet and there is still one more gig after that and I think I was not there.  Well they are not sure but it was surely a long time ago.()Read the rest of ACIDSTONE AT NO HEROICS 2 (545 words) ©   read more
