i HIGHLY doubt that eric boucher (aka jello) is gonna be there. theirs is one of the more acrimonious splits and i think there has been multiple lawsuits between him, east bay ray and the other guys. not sure who they roped into singing, but i think i'd pass.

at least i got to see 'em intact, and when their glory years weren't so far behind them (in '86 or so).

I heard they were once again vindicated. All the lawsuits are over and I guess they won. Kind of a moot point to me without Jello. I would be cool to see them in Vegas though.....

she was (is?) married to Watt. they had a project called Dos together. just two bass guitars. very sinuous.

Thats it ! and she was pretty hot too ! if I remeber correctly though all the alcohol that was comsumed that night. and I loved the name of the opening band ( even though they sucked ) "The Archbishops enema fetish "

Don't do it, they are imposters. No Jello = no DK.

BTW, the new Jello/Melvins disc rocks!
There a disk out? Damn, i better do some homework.

sorta off topic(melvins related i guess)... Fantomas has a new record soon, and a tour......

Oh jeez.

I saw DK several times, the Mabuhay and On Broadway in SF, Ruthies Inn in Berkeley...

We're old.


On a side note, Jello is a dishhonest prick. F**k that guy.

Is the Channel still open?
no, it closed years ago. i think it was a strip club for a bit after the music booking ended, but i could be wrong.

too bad. aside from the rancid draft beer (did they ever clean their lines?), it had a big parking lot, a decent sound system, and good sight lines. and i saw plenty of great shows there. boston has definitely missed a channel-type club.

I used to have a live tape of the minutemen when they opened up for REM. The only other live tape I have of them is a Spin Radio show that I have seen on vinyl on ebay.
