Nashville Blind Items!

WHICH long-dead Nashville rock threesome is planning a reunion show? From the Scene archives: "Their high-energy pop has much in common with Superchunk and should be a perfect appetizer for the main course." Whoa! The same week that review was written, Lambchop played Slow Bar! IT is also rumored they will be joined at Venue TBA by a recently back-in-the-game Joe, Marc's Brother! Everything old is new again! THERE are also reports (unconfirmed so no hopes up!) that another long-lost local band may pitch in: This group is made up of men who are, simply, the best around! A clue?

I don't want to ruin the surprise so I won't but I can't wait for this show! Nice clue with The Christmas Story picture. Watch that scene in the movie and you'll know who the band is.

If only Superchunk could come back and play with them too, then my Christmas wish list would be complete.

No, but the drummer might, if you get drunk and squint.

Did you just say Sweep the Leg Johnny?!?!? Oh shit. In other obscure band news, apparently Cap 'n' Jazz is getting back together. Maybe. Or not.

that is too bad. I was hoping it was slack. Ben looks just like that kid. apparently they really do hate each other. i would be pissed at chris too with that lame "music" he is making now.

Per that wonderful tag, the only things I'd probably get stoked over would be a Sneaky Eaters reunion or a Lifeboy reunion.
My money's on those USN kids.

@insider: what is going to change? they won't steal a bunch of bad 80's songs and pass them off as their own? i love how Chris always jumps on the bandwagon of whatever is "cool" at the tail end of it.
