Naked Raygun enlists Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers), Dan Schaeffer (Methadones)

Posted by aubin on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 12:13 AM (EDT)

Looks like Naked Raygun has more treats for fans who attend their upcoming Chicago shows at the end of the month. The band has enlisted punk legend Jake Burns of Stiff Little Fingers as well as Dan Schaeffer of Methadones, Screeching Weasel and Sludgeworth, for their set.

Raygun will be performing a few songs with Jake Burns, and is also promising some Sludgeworth tracks with Dan. Of course, the much anticipated openers Dillinger Four and the Bollweevils are still set to kick off the show.

The second show will feature The Bollweevils, The Effigies & Shot Baker. The band has scheduled two shows to take place on April 27th at the House of Blues Chicago. The influential Chicago act officially reunited this past January after a successful showing at the 2006 Riot Fest.

Someone (April 24, 2007)

Don't you mean "Mest up"?

TheOneTrueBill (April 24, 2007)

I bought a ticket to the early show way back when. I wish I hadn't because I can't buy another ticket for monetary and school reasons. Jerks.

JerryCola (April 24, 2007)

Don't worry, I'll fill you in on how much better the second show was on the next day, just before I leave to see The Phenomenauts...

niveK82 (April 24, 2007)

this show and phenomauts are two shows im surprised im not going to.

Someone (April 24, 2007)

The first show still fucking rocks. I'm going to that one too. How can you be upset that you're seeing Raygun, Effigies Shot Bkaer and The Effigies in one day?

Someone (April 24, 2007)

Someone (April 24, 2007)

Someone (April 24, 2007)

Madcap is playing Los Angeles on june 9th at the airliner club!!

Someone (April 24, 2007)

That's cool but a bit unexpected.

AndyPonch (April 24, 2007)

I'll consider it an official reunion when they actually play out of the Chicago-Minneapolis area.

TenderBransonX (April 24, 2007)

Crap, this makes me miss Chicago... although I will be seeing the Draft and Lifetime that night....

Someone (April 24, 2007)

This has to be the greatest thing ever!

Someone (April 24, 2007)

Sludgeworth fucking rules!!!!!!! dan and raygun on the same stage? Fucking great!

Someone (April 24, 2007)

Jake Burns fuckin' rocks.

Someone (April 24, 2007)

So is it Raygun with half the band gone? I thought they got back together

Someone (April 24, 2007)

The NR line up is, Jeff, Eric, Peire and Bill

And let's not start about the Haggerty crap... He now has had 5 chances in the last 6 months to play... And yes NR has asked him...

Someone (April 24, 2007)

No, burns and schaeffer are just going on stage to as guests w/ the band. that's what you're asking right?

Someone (April 24, 2007)

Yep thanks. It thought they were filling in for the others.

SarahSage (April 24, 2007)

Wait wait wait, D4 is playing the 2nd show, right? Otherwise I might have to trade tickets with someone.

passionisafashion (April 24, 2007)

I had the same reaction. But I just checked the HOB website and it clearly says D4 is playing the second show. Plus when I got my ticket the lady said D4 is playing the second...so yeah. Punknews is probably wrong on this one.

PLEASE CORRECT THE POSTING!!!! AND FLIPP OUT the Effigies and D4

video_cognito (April 24, 2007)

I was gonna go to this, but then I kept spending money on Pokemon, South Park DVDs, and food. Goddammit. I work this Friday, anyways.

It's all good because I caught Naked Raygun and The Effigies at Riot Fest. D4 woulda been killa gorilla to see.

Someone (April 24, 2007)

Sweet!!!

Someone (April 24, 2007)

The only thing that can make a D4/Raygun show better is a Sludgeworth song. God I can't wait!
