A million “thank you’s” go out to everyone who came out Friday night to celebrate the PunksInVegas 10 year anniversary. We truly partied in a way that Emily would be proud of. In addition to the music, there was lots of crying, laughing, and dancing. In keeping up with PIV tradition, this show was all-ages and we were so glad to see all those kids!

It had been a while since Off With Their Heads last played Vegas, so the people who packed the Bunkhouse Saloon on December 1st were eager to sing along with Ryan Young and company’s bevy of poppily depressive anthems.
