Back In Business

The Riverdales played our first show in over 13 years last weekend at Reggie's and it was a great one (pics below taken by Christine "Krusty" Ullrich). There were a few bum chords and a false start or two but it was still a hell of a good show - the band had a great time and it sure seemed like the crowd did too. Our first go around in the 90s was pretty rocky at times but I always loved getting up on stage and playing in the band. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this year's shows.

The Riverdales were never as popular as Screeching Weasel but playing to a packed house singing along to those songs felt great and I can't wait to play Austin and Madison this summer. Tickets for Austin on June 20th are still available HERE. And Madison's gonna be a blast. The new album is fantastic and we'll be adding a bunch of the new songs to the set, plus Shot Baker and the Jetty Boys are supporting. The Majestic Theater is a beautiful old venue in downtown Madison and there are tons of great restaurants within walking distance. You can buy tickets for the Madison show on July 25th HERE - hope to see ya there!

A week before the show I got the prototype for the new Weaselrite - more on that in the weeks and months to come - and I had time to get it set up and modified to my tastes - it played like a dream. Big thanks to Pete Repellent for loaning me his cabinet. And to the Resistors and Hypnic Jerks for supporting us.

Finally, Asian Man Records put the first track from Invasion USA up on their MySpace page. It's called Agent For H.A.R.M. and you can hear it HERE
