Boston's Street Dogs returned to Las Vegas December 7 for their Wreck the Halls holiday tour, and I was really excited to finally see them. I’ve always had bad luck trying to catch them live. The last two Vegas shows of theirs were Punk Rock Bowling 2012 (I was stuck in a never-ending security line, and missed their performance) and a canceled show with Pennywise last October.

“Thank you, we’ve been Last Call!” While I want to stress that the guys in local pop punk band Last Call are not throwing in the towel just yet, these bittersweet final lines spoken by vocalist Austin Jeffers, and the fact that the band members have been throwing around the word “hiatus” for a while, does make it feel like this show marked the end of an era for Last Call – and the beginning of a new one for the bands that have formed in their wake. ...
