OK, i’m pretty jealous, but hey in Berlin we got the original line-up of Mark Stewart and the Maffia with Adrian Sherwood at the helm 2nite.

Happy B-day Jello!!

We put a ( incomplete) story up on the XLT “podopolog” about both shows… If anyone wants to send us a review of the GAMH show, we’d really like to post / link, etc. Drop us a line.

And if anyone’s interested there’s our review of a pretty dismal MUSEUM exhibition in Vienna, still running, about (history of) Punk: Kunst- Stil- Revolte … minus California representation, but probably for the better. As you might guess a museum has little chance of gathering the critical elements of realtime resistance and ecstatic DIY passions.

I remember seeing them at the Mabuhay Gardens….one of the best memories of the early 1980s. What a great, stinking club…they never had any toilet paper but great bands!

Scott, you’re correct. In the original post I inserted a phantom comma after The Melvins, which made it look like their name was being interjected as a clarification of his new band.

I’ll learn to read one of these days.

Ian, I’m not suggesting any of the things you are saying. It sounds like you are misinterpreting the line-up. You might want to visit the Alternative Tentacles page for the event for more info. It shows that Jello is playing with his new band as well as with The Melvins. Also, the poster mentions this as well.

The part about Jello playing with “his new band” The Melvins reads weird. It’s as if you’re suggesting that Jello is the lead of a new band called The Melvins, when in fact the Melvins have been around for a damn long time and Jello has just been collaborating with them since ~2005…
