No way, dude!!!

I got my ten year high school reunion in 2007 and man am I psyched to see all those worthless assholes I graduated with. BRW, you're more than welcome to attend if you wish. I guarrantee that it will be the event of the decade.

I just took my pants off

Okay, settle down

"After that, can we be done with reunions?"
Let's hope.

Nothing is confirmed. Date. Venue.
Only that it will be in Chicago.
The anniversary is slated for the second half of 2006.
All the Scratch Acid guys have aggreed to play.

Enjoy your day good friends

Be that David Lambeth Yow posting above? If so, a fine day to you too, sir. If not, well, still a fine day to you too, asshole. I kid! I make joke!

Anyways, I thought T&G didn't get started until the late 80's or so and that a lot of the 80's stuff they reissued came out on Homestead or some other such label. Is this not correct?

Nice! Guess I'll have to start looking at cheap plane tickets.

I guess this means no Rapeman re-union unless Sims will pull double duty...

Discuss.

Good Lord.

Wire, Pixies, Mission of Burma, Slint, Gang of Four, now Scratch Acid. Who's next?

My vote is for Killdozer. Or Pussy Galore.

I'm aware of the Berserker EP that came out in '87. My question was how is Touch and Go already celebrating 25 years? Did their first release really come out in 1981?

I went to T&G's brand new website to answer my own question ...

"Touch and Go Records came into existence (sort of) in late 1980, when the Ohio punk band Necros decided they wanted to put out a 7" record. Being in high school at the time (ie: broke), they were aided in this project by their friends Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson, who were the geniuses behind a fanzine called Touch and Go (and who were a little older and had real jobs). The 7"s by the Necros and the Fix (a Michigan punk band) were recorded in late 1980 and released in early 1981, and Touch and Go Records was officially born."

Hmmm, I did not know that. I always thought they came around in '86/'87.

I have been waiting for this for years. I moved to Austin just months after their last shows. Never got to see them. Maybe they will do a date in Austin and save me the agony of missing them all over again.
