for the mont of october, irving plaza has some really awesome shows lined up for the next few months bands such as pennywise, ignite, lost prophets, story of the year, nfg, circle jerks, sparta,...

I saw Sparta open for Weezer a few years ago.

Oh..and they weren't any good.

haha, well some bands aren't very good live. like goldfinger so i've heard. and also you said it was a few years ago, so they may have just been crappy back then or whatever.
