E347 Concert Catch-up: Shinedown, Winona Fighter, Bleach, The Barbarians of California, Squint, and more!

This week, we're scratching The Itch to catch up! September is always a busy concert month for The Itch, and it often puts us a bit behind on talking about everything we saw. But what we saw was worth talking about!

First, in a rare opportunity to see a huge band in a less-than-huge venue, KC catches a pair of past guests on an unusual but satisfying bill pairing hit-makers Shinedown with The Itch's Favorite Punk Band™ Winona Fighter. How did the St. Louis crowd react to a rowdy punk band opening for the kings of radio rock? You'll have to find out.

Then, Aaron gets an unexpected nostalgia trip with the opportunity to see a reunited Bleach return to the scene after over 20 years. Did they hold up to the memories? And was opening act The Fresh Bears a reference to a Chicago baseball team he doesn't like? Only one of these questions will be definitively answered.

And finally, the always enjoyable "we saw the same tour in two different cities," as Dan and KC catch The Barbarians of California and hometown boys Squint at the Duck Room in St. Louis and Aaron sees the same show at the Cobra Lounge in Chicago. How did our Mo Bros do on the road? Who was the most energetic guitarist on stage? And did this show heal a bit of a wound for Aaron? Again, more questions. Some answers. Enjoy.
