The release features a 90 minute film and 25 minutes of bonus footage including videos for “Cashed In” “Insects Destroy” and “Bad Reputation.” The band recently commented that they have been working on new songs, but it’s too soon yet to say in what form they’ll be released or when.

Now that he is cured of being dead, Ian Mackaye will be headed out on the road with his band, The Evens. The duo will be on the road for two weeks this December, in continued support of their sophomore album, Get Evens. We propose that the third album will be called Evens Stevens or maybe Evens Moneys.
After the terribly unfair theft that saw Strung Out lose much of their belongings, the band seems to be maintaining a pretty positive attitude, saying:
i just wanna say thank you to all who have offered and cared so much about our situation . This once again proves that we have the best fans in the world ! There has been talk about donations and a fund raiser for the band and I gotta say the love we have received from 15 plus years of doin this is all we need .
You guys make us mighty and its all of us together that make this thing we do so amazing , no amount of gear , merch or money could EVER come close to that. We will plan some sort of benefit show when we get home to help out our Brother Favio and try to replace some of our gear ,so if you are down to help keep your ears open and come out to rock!
The band released Blackhawks Over Los Angeles earlier this year.

I’ve had a busy week, which is why you’re getting partially late updates and infrequent new review update posts. Don’t fret — after The Fest this weekend, I’ll hopefully return to action a little more stably. I can’t promise midnight updates or anything, but maybe some more consistency than now.
Sadly, fans of the The Mighty Mighty Bosstones may have some trouble getting tickets if they didn’t make their purchase in the first few minutes of the pre-sale. Currently, tickets for the highly anticipated five day reunion performances are selling for prices between $300.00 and $1250.00, at least based on the asking prices on Stubhub.com.
The tickets originally sold for $25.00.
