I missed them the last time they played Des Moines in 87, it would be the day after I get back from FLA, so yeah I'd be there. I just wonder how many of the younger people know who they are and just how pig fucking cool it would be to see them.

I'm working on a venue, and yes, if it happens, it'll be June 19th. Keep in mind that this is still pending.

dumb question...have these guys been active this whole time, or is this one of them-there reunion tours? i saw them at the pioneer columbus center way too long ago, and it was pretty dang sweet.

either way...i'm there (mateo?)

I think it was 87. My first show ever. They had a neon light that flashed "just say maybe" and tesco vee kept thumping people on the head with a giant rubber dong.

So while I'm a bit scarred from the experience, I'd still pay to check it out again.

They wouldn't budge on their absolutely ridiculous guarantee, so no Meatmen.

3000 dollars, plus a percentage of the total door bag ( I was scared to even ask what percent, like 3 grand ain't enough). 3 hotel rooms, booze, food (not pizza), and a bunch of other random shit that noone really needs. They're more of a pain in the ass than OTEP was.

Yeah you would have needed like 300 people to break even. I'm sure it would have been 90% after cost. You may have been able to take a small promoter's fee but would have in the long run been fucked.

I have to say it would have been a cool show. I had heard a while back that they were doing reunion shows around Detroit but I just can't see that much interest outside of the major cities.
