This thread had me pull out the Red Snerts comp, hadn't listened to it in forever.  In the liner notes for the Bay-Root song, either I only just noticed or it never registered, but it looks like Pat Todd and Allen Clark played on the recording, pre-move from IN to CA and forming the Lazy Cowgirls.

The deep pockets of Riot Fest cures all ills!  Misfits, Replacements... I can't think of anyone else without actually looking into it.

Maybe Riot Fest can convince the singer of my old band that it's ok to play music with your friends once a year when they come home to visit?

Ooh... Every couple of years I look for FB records online but never find any.  Maybe it's been more than a couple since I last looked.  I never got to see them, almost did once (at Maxwell's in NJ? Maybe mid-90s?) but don't remember why not.  I was probably still in high school and my older friends didn't like my curfew or something...

Did/do they ever play reunion shows?

Ugh, so much of my youth is gone, keeps going away...

How he got the lines "bust a nut inside your eye/to show you where I come from" past the censors on MTV/radio back in the day is amazing!

Paid to see a "soul" band at a bar called the Player's Pub.

Played... no, attempted to play bass in a Marvin Gaye cover band (it was for charity!).  Most of the other dudes in the band were whiter than me but more qualified to play Motown-style.

Moved to Austin.

Man, I love me some Willie Colon... Totally came across him by accident one day and bought "Cosa Nuestra" on a whim (at Landlocked... hi Jason!).  That "El Barrio..." comp is killer too!

Jason - I thought of you while at the show.  Come down and visit sometime, and you're welcome to stay!  I have a really big couch in a one bedroom apt.  It's kind of comical.

I met Axl once, at IWAs "King of the Death Match" in 2003.  Some friends and I were drinking beer in the parking lot during intermission and Axl and Balls Mahoney came up to us to hang out.  They were hilarious, telling crazy road stories.  They also were quadruple-fisting beers (two in each hand!)... I'm pretty sure they only came over to get a few beers off us, but still, they were really funny and really nice.
