Forgive me if this was already posted, but I did a search and it came up empty. Naked Raygun is playing Riot Fest 2006 at the Congress Theater on Sunday November 5th. It's their first show in 10 years:

Other Chicago bands playing reunion shows are The Bollweevils and The Blue Meanies. 18 bands total including the *cough* Misfits, Adicts, The Business and UK Subs.

Lineup will be Pezzati, Kezdy, Spicer and Stephens. Spicer is taking ideas for Free Shit on his myspace page...

Wow.

That's cool but I'd like to see Pezzati, Durango, Gonzales and Colao - the lineup I never saw.

You see the early lineup with both Pezzatis?

No. So, one of the lineups I never saw.

I'm hoping that we'll get to see an 18 minute extended version of Bombshelter. Durango and Colao can come out for that one and close the set, I should start an online petition...

Update - The Misfits and their FiendFest compatriots (Adicts, UK Subs, Orange, Juicehead) drop out. Details aren't given, but rumors abound possible replacements...

I would have liked to see The Adicts and the attendance will take a hit without The Misfits (the kids love them, Danzig or no Danzig) but nothing can stop the momentum of Raygun playing...

Good.

I was hoping for some form of Raygun at the T&G shows. :sadface:

I'd gladly trade The Misfits for a Hoboken, Sludgeworth, or Screeching Weasel reunion. I just wish that they didn't have to take The Adicts with them...

Even though I've seen em like a gazillion times, including this lineup I'm about to mention, a Screeching Weasel show with Panic, Vapid, Jughead and Ben would be a treat. That was the uberlineup for me.

Of course, I know that will never happen, at least not with Dan Panic, but one can dream.
