We're reuniting at Pepper Jack's, Friday July 6. It's been six months and all previous grievances have been resolved. Max and Dan are co-existing rather well after the sordid affair that was their romantic undoing. At times I even catch them gazing longingly at each other during particularly emotional portions of certain songs; as if the old glint had not subsided in the first place.

For reals, though, we all took six months to work hard with other bands. Our chops are up, our work ethic is up, we are sounding good. Max even penned a new tune for the occasion.

In keeping with our wet dream to emulate The Band, we have shifted a multi-instrumentalist or two and arrived at a piano-organ-guitar-bass-drums (+ guest Donna Jean) combination.

The Surly Young Bucks are:

Max Kerman: vocals, piano, guitar

Mike DeAngelis: bass, vocals

Aaron Goldstein: pedal steel, guitar

Adam Melnick: organ, piano

Dan Griffin: drums, vocals

Lynn Seward: vocals

UPDATE: The Sweet Homewreckers have just been added to the bill, joining the Mississippi Kings. Friggin sweet night!

Indeedy, we're still the same people but being the bunch of multi-instrumentalists that we are, we've got Adam on organ now with Mikey moving over to bass.

We rehearsed twice today (one impromptu but extrememly productive rehearsal that began at 2am and just finished now), and holy shit is it ever coming together. It has been more than 6 months since we played together and in that time we all put in a serious amount of work with our other bands, so the work ethic was incredibly strong today. We even have a new tune. I can't express how much I'm looking forward to this gig.

Ladies and gentlemen. The day has arrived. This show is tonight. We are stoked and dressing up for the occasion.

I will be talking to Jamie 'Gunner' Smith on Sounds of the Hammer on C101.5 at 5pm today, mainly talking about the Bucks but also about all the other projects I'm involved in - to date I'm involved in 9 (!!) active bands. 101.5 FM in Hamilton, or click here to listen online - click 'listen live'.

Then at 6:30pm, the whole band (I think) will be performing and talking to Ric Taylor on Lullabies in Razorland on CFMU. 93.3 FM in Hamilton, or http://cfmu.mcmaster.ca online, click 'Webcast'.

Woo hoo!

fuck marco how did I miss you again!? I think I caught your marvelous aura at one point but was distracted by something at the same time. Thank you for showing some love.

The recording is in the works by Mr. Aaron. We took a board feed, stereo from behind the crowd (with this handsome fellow), and stereo feed from mics hanging above the band. Should be up on the archive by mid-week. will give you a heads up about it...
