Blue Meanies are looking to gather various memorabilia and footage in the hopes of using it in an upcoming documentary. The band explained:

We […] are looking for some more video footage, pics, flyers, posters – anything that any of you may have that is Meanies-related – for possible inclusion in the documentary that our good pal Andy Ramsey of Transit Studios is working on.

But that said, we’re really trying to hunt down stuff from the late 80s and early and mid 90s, if we can scare more of that up. Any video footage on older formats like VHS can be forwarded to us, copied and sent back to you – same thing with old flyers or posters.

No promises on when such a thing could or would be released…one step at a time, ya know…

The Chicago favorites reunited last year for a special appearance at Riot Fest.
