Upcoming Shows/Tours/Events / Last 2 Shemps Shows Ever (Sorta) Feb 29th and March 22nd Brooklyn

« on: February 20, 2008, 05:48:00 PM »

Hey Kids,
     The Shemps are calling it quits. Well at least in name. We've
decided that none of us want to be in the same schlubby band for more
than a decade so we are starting a new band. New songs, new schtick
perhaps some sort of special diet and exercise routine we all have to
strictly follow. And to celebrate this new birth or afterbirth if you
will we will be playing 2 shows at the Trash Bar, one this month where
we will celebrate our second leap year as a band with our good friend
and general mentor Dean Rispler and our final show with our favorite
Canadian Brethern/Sisteren THE BRUTAL KNIGHTS.

Hete's the lineups.

Music Shit / Greedy Bastard The Book

« on: December 03, 2006, 11:59:50 PM »

I think i'm gonna encapsulate all my zines and other stuff into book form. This will entail reworking, updating and re-laying out everything as well as explaining what all the things I was writing about meant, sort of a really fucked up history of 90's punk rock from my viewpoint. I also think I'm gonna track down everyone I majorly pissed off and interview em about it.

I dug up this  review I got in NY Press for those unfamiliar.
