Hmm, I remember seeing a music video of theirs on one of the old "Cinema Beer" video comps. It wasn't very good. I always assumed they'd broken up. Anyone know what their status is? It appears this isn't a new album, but a comp of old material, correct?

Does this qualify as an "Orgcorasm"? It has loose a connection with Op Ivy but it doesn't involve beards...

No, OPIV-worship is relegated to little kids generally. I respect them an an important part of music history but will likely never again spin the dog-eared Energy copy I haven't played in 5 years.

So, are you the resident expert on all things Org?

Jon_the_Skafather (May 11, 2008)

it'd have to involve at least tim or jesse before it starts to qualify for a orgcorasm.

if it involved jesse with a beard and acoustic guitar, the whole website would be covered in "ectoplasm".

Punk Side Story still ranks for me as one of Bay Area punk's finest achievements.

I found a pretty cool article about it:

YES! That and "Tumors," their 7-inch cover album of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors." Pure brilliance.

loreng (May 12, 2008)

Shit yeah. I haven't heard them do any originals, though. How are they?

IDontHaveAnAccountYet (May 10, 2008)

Best news this year. Schlong is/was one of the most technical bands out there, they just don't act like their all cool about it.

MattRamone (May 11, 2008)

Jesus christ. It was awesome meeting you too, dude!

IllaZilla (May 12, 2008)

I cannot believe I live in San Diego and haven't seen them yet. I went to the final RFTC and Sultans gigs (missed the Hot Snakes as I was working on cruise ships for a few years...unfortunately never saw 'em live). Unfortunately the Night Marchers gigs at the Bar Pink Elephant & Casbah have thus far been on nights when I had inescapable conflicts. However I've been listening to the album since it came out & it is frackin' amazing. I have different levels of obsession with each of the Sw@mi's projects, but I think I'd rank the Night Marchers 3rd. I vaccilate between Rocket & Hot Snakes as my #1; it tends to change week to week.

Label? Date? Tracks?

This is laziest news post ever.

Jon_the_Skafather (May 11, 2008)

Wow. Can I get my $9.99 back? This release is awful. Worse than "Unessential". I was really banking on a Fish Booty redux. Bummer.
