>>> You cannot keep the Dead Milkmen down. (Hippies, on the other hand, sit in the stomach just fine — see clip at right.) The group will be re-uniting to headline one of the days at Austin, TX’s Fun Fun Fest in November. And so far, we have one of two riddles solved: One is that bassist Dandrew Stevens will stand in for dearly departed Dave Blood, and the other, unsolved riddle is, Philly warm-up gig? We can help you with this, Milkmens! Get at us! STAT! [Austin360]
>>> And yo, maybe it’s not over in Recordville: Siren Records lives to see another day. [PhillyBurbs]
>>> Finally, it’s not just iMeem that’s crushing on our local musics. The Boston Phoenix just ponied up their regional crushpages (although they’re nowhere as good as that iMeem thing). Here’s PA, DE and NJ, respectively.
BONUS ROUND: We’ll have some more on this in the days to come, as well as some other Park The Van stuff, but you heard it here first: The Spinto Band have signed to the Park The Van label, joining Dr. Dog, The Capitol Years and the rest of the gang. The Spinto’s newest long-player, Moonwink, will be out on October 7.
