The latest episode of What’s in My Bag features Dave Pirner. It led me to look up Soul Asylum’s Wikipedia page, and I was reminded that he’s been the only original member in the band for more than a decade.
(I’m not particularly a fan of Soul Asylum either way.)
I thought about going to see Soul Asylum last year. I had never seen them, and Let Your Dim Light Shine meant a lot to me in high school. But with Pirner the only original guy left, and them not playing much from that record, I decided not to.

RKL is doing a small tour of California.
If there was ever an award for “bands that don’t and never mattered” RKL would be in the top 5. Hated them and their dumb schtick back in the day… seeing a bunch of mid 50s dudes revisit that shit now in 2025 would be painful beyond belief. Who the fuck would actually go???!
They should probably have it at a skater's house (with a half-pipe in the back) in Goleta, cuz that's abut how many people will go.
RKL’s bass player rips. I’ll go see ‘em just to watch that guy do his thing.

RKL were really big in Europe. They were a pretty ripping band. The follow-on bands were generally awful, i.e., Mad Caddies and Lagwagon.

Anyone seen Slayer post Hanneman/Lombardo? I’m tempted since I’ve never been.

Not since 2014. That was a good show, though, I'd definitely go if you've never seen them.

I listened to one of their recent live sets. It was kinda loose and Tom sounded a bit tired, but Bostaph is back behind the kit. He's still a great drummer.

Slayer tickets purchased. Mastodon and Anthrax are also on the bill. But the Mastodon guitarist quit today so…
