Why did you spend the majority of the article talking about a tour that happened over the summer? I mean, it was an amazing tour, but... you know?

That was a, uhm, "typo"; I had some notes that I left in the story. Ah, the perils of live publishing.

TheOneTrueBill (October 20, 2005)

All is forgiven in the name of excellent pop punk.

Fuzzy (justin) (October 20, 2005)

I love the Ghoules, and both Teenage bands. So much fun.

MrStabone (October 20, 2005)

AlmostPunkEnough (October 20, 2005)

Groovie Ghoulies are great, though not quite as good as Teenage Bottlerocket... they make my pee-pee go ba-doing-doing-doing.

SoupIsGoodFood (October 20, 2005)

October 26th Cheap Thrills St. Cloud, Minnesota Show will rule.

housewrecker (October 20, 2005)

Isn't this thread 90s pop-punk enough for that jaded pedantic guy to show up and start dissing Ben Weasel in 600 word posts???

Someone (October 20, 2005)

I saw the ghoulies for the first time over the summer and i have to say they were amazing, they said at the show they'd be back again in october and i've been waiting to find out when and where ever since .....but now im annoyed, they're playing the same night bad religion is playin and i already have tix for that

Someone (October 20, 2005)

The show in Edmonton is customer appreciation night and it's 2 dollar cover charge and 2 dollar beers all night. Holy fuck.

2 canadian dollars?

Someone (October 20, 2005)

that's like, -3 US dollars!

Someone (October 20, 2005)

seriously!

AlmostPunkEnough (October 20, 2005)

why is Springman so excellent?? i don't get it.

Someone (October 20, 2005)

springman is the shiznit

Someone (October 20, 2005)

I saw these guys like 10 years ago. After multiple line up changes, the same basic 3 power chords and the same lame album put out over and over and over again....how the hell can anyone still care about these guys? Get with the NOW, lookout records is pretty much dead. Yay, for dragging your poor asses through the mud, but all the teeny-bop'ers who listened to these guys in the early 90s have all graduated high-school. Just give it up you lame asses.

Someone (October 20, 2005)

Well first of all, i'm 23 and i just heard them for the first time this summer. so forget about this high school crap. second of all, they haven't been on lookout in almost 10 years, hell, if you go buy their albums in stores they don't even carry the lookout stuff anymore third of all, i don't know why im counting, but shutup....i'll like who i feel like

Someone (October 20, 2005)

from The Vapids webpage: "GROOVIE GHOULIES TOUR HAS BEEN CANCELLED". I don't know if The Vapids were supposed to be on that tour and couldn't be on the bill anymore or if the tour has been cancelled altogether. Any info?

Someone (October 21, 2005)

I spoke to Kepi yesterday in an interview; The Halloween dates that were originally supposed to be in Canada were unfortuneatly canceled due to an issue with the booking agent. The Ghoulies apologized many many times, but it's completely out of their hands. I'm holding off complaing about my dissapointment because whatever excitement I had is nothing compared to the ammount of crap that's befallen them.
