Image Orlando, FL hardcore outfit New Mexican Disaster Squad have announced plans to reunite. The show will take place as part of the inaugural Rad Fest, happening May 14-15, 2010 in Wilmington, NC. Here's what the band had to say about it:
"So maybe calling it a "hiatus" would probably have been a better move (as this will take place only a year and a half after our official last show), but the four of us have decided to play a one-off show at Rad Fest in Wilmington, North Carolina this coming May (14th and 15th). Don't get us wrong, No Friends is our hardcore band now and Virgins and Gatorface are still going to be releasing shit and playing shows. However, we're all still great friends and saw this festival as an excellent chance to dust-off and bash-out the songs that were such an important part of our lives for almost 10 years. Don't expect any tours or new records. We're not planning on doing any other one-off shows either. Basically if we feel like playing, we will, and we want to right now. This is going to be a really great punk festival in a cool city with a great lineup of bands and thats the main reason we are doing this.
The band first called it a day last year, and members went on to form Virgins, Gatorface and No Friends. NMDS Drummer Richard Minino (known in art circles as HORSEBITES) is also a current member of None More Black, another band scheduled to perform at Rad Fest.
