It’s Sunday, February 3rd, 2008. You know we’ve had more news submissions on this potential Arrested Development movie than anything else today, purpose of this website be damned. I love you guys. Welcome to Navel Gazing, your look back at this week in Punknews.
Top on the list of shows you didn’t get get to see last week, ALL reunited on stage in Fort Collins at what was billed as a Drag The River show. Keeping with the reunion theme, Hot Water Music has announced a trio of European festival dates. We also had video footage of the band performing “Turnstyle” at their recent Sayreville, NJ show. The Gaslight Anthem may have delayed their upcoming EP this week, but it also slipped that the band will join the SideOneDummy roster. The real world stepped in as Fox News, for whatever reason, uncovered the “Emo Backlash”. Cheers also go out to the Oregon Attorney General for investigating the RIAA.
There was lots of touring news this week, with the Warped Tour confirming its 2008 routing and further news on the metal-focused spinoff tour featuring bands like Mastodon and Dragonforce. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones announced a Los Angeles show with the Street Dogs and Pietasters, as well as an appearance at the Bamboozle. Similarly, the west coast Bamboozle Left will feature a reunion performance from Face To Face. We’re waiting on dates for two upcoming tours, one to feature Anti-Flag will the Briggs, Street Dogs and Fake Problems, the other an Asian Man Tour with Queers, Lemuria and Bomb The Music Industry.
This week saw the break up of street punks Clit 45. Upcoming releases for the mall punk crowd were discussed, including Fearless Records’ “Punk Goes Crunk” compilation and Panic At The Disco‘s upcoming “Pretty. Odd.” Not on the horizon? Good Riddance‘s live DVD. It’s probably not going to happen. Between some new music from Anti-Flag (“The Bright Lights of America”) and Fake Problems (“Viking Wizard Eyes, Wizard Full of Lies”) this has been a pretty full week.
Our Video of the Week featured the first part of an interview and performance with Bomb The Music Industry!. The twenty seventh edition of Vinyl File featured an interview with Dan Yemin (Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Paint it Black and Armalite) and a look at upcoming releases. On the new music front we previewed three upcoming 7″ releases from Toronto power-pop act Marvelous Darlings, featuring Ben Cook of Fucked Up and No Warning.
