The Almighty Trigger Happy Is Back

Contributed by beaukakke. Posted by adam on Monday, November 3, 2003 at 7:52 AM (EST)

us that the Almighty Trigger Happy has returned. Bad Taste Records reported that the band played their first show in Canada at the end of October in Oshawa with Constable Brennan, the Heatskores and others.

We were sent and update that the band (Mark, Ruston, sh*tty, AL, & long time friend Jesse) have been rehearsing material from their 96-2000 run all summer and will be playing shows at the end of November in Ontario. The band has been writing as well but there are no words on any recording plans. Click below for the three shows they've announced.

Fri 28/11 CAN Toronto, The 360
Sat 29/11 CAN Hamilton, Sonic Unyon
Fri 5/12 CAN Kingston, The Scherzo

I have a full length of theirs, and the insert has a girl eating a dick sandwich, it's pretty ill.

i got the cd also and i think that the dick sandwich eater is in fact a boy ! I might be wrong but if my memories are good that picture was the reason why I didn't tell my friends about this band.

Someone (November 3, 2003)

Yeah, I thought that picture was a man eating another man's cock sandwich. I could be wrong.

Someone (November 3, 2003)

Someone (November 4, 2003)

yeah it is. it's a joke really, was a tour roadie kid that was annoying, is my understanding of it. Probably not the BEST choice of cd artwork to sell records by any stretch for sure.

Someone (November 3, 2003)

They ain't no Dyneomight... oh wait.. yes they are.. except for Al... I wonder how long until that kid from Citizen Kill is singing for them? PICKERING!!!

I came on here to do it and as I scrolled down I was suprised to find no one had yet either. He punk kids....he gives the middle finger lots and spits. Now all he needs is a baseball bat and a mohawk and he will be the "true" spirit of punk rancid style.

Someone (November 3, 2003)

There is no need to shit talk al, he knows he's a sad coke head with future.

Someone (November 3, 2003)

you look like a complete moron.

Someone (November 3, 2003)

haahahahahaha

Someone (November 3, 2003)

Boo this man!!!

Someone (November 3, 2003)

.. what does this have to do with a band getting back together...

Someone (November 4, 2003)

Ya. fat mike , nori, anyone on fat or epitaph, dave smalley, ian mackay, brian baker, all the guys in judge, strife and earth crisis. X edge MY ASS! Why don't you follow your favourite bands into the bathroom and ask them about their allergies. CD's, their not just for listening anymore. Hey don't buy it if it has a white cover

eyeball_kid (November 3, 2003)

Is this the same band listed as Trigger Happy on Short Music for Short People? That song was class.

notfeelingcreative (November 3, 2003)

Yeah, it's also the same band on the fearless comp that featured songs from Good Riddance, Strung Out, Satanic Surfers, and Trigger Happy!

hungryjoe (November 3, 2003)

Fearless is an awful label, but that comp is great. Perhaps it's becauses they simply took a Bad Taste comp, and added 3 Strung Out songs. Not that I'm complaining, the SO songs are good.

notfeelingcreative (November 3, 2003)

YEah, I used to like fearless when they first started putting stuff out (ATDI, Bigwig, 30footfall, Bickely...)but now it's all crap!

funkisdead (November 3, 2003)

Man, BLOUNT were so fucking great!!!! world of seclusion, my friends.

notfeelingcreative (November 3, 2003)

Yeah, I forgot about blount!

Someone (November 3, 2003)

I believe it was called "As a Matter of Fact", for those that want to get it. And, yes, that comp also ruled...

Someone (November 3, 2003)

Yes. Every song they had on a comp ended up OWNING the rest of the album. ALMIGHTY TRIGGER HAPPY FUCKING RULES. Best canadian band. Ever. Speed_of_Mind

funkisdead (November 3, 2003)

no godspeed = better.

hungryjoe (November 3, 2003)

Agreed. A Silver Mt. Zion is also really fucking good.

funkisdead (November 3, 2003)

yeah, the first record is amazing... have you heard do make say think? or hangedup? both similar bands that really just fucking rock.

Someone (November 3, 2003)

No where near the best band........I mean come on, you got Propagandhi,Chixdiggit,SNFU,Weakerthens etc.

funkisdead (November 3, 2003)

no. godspeed.

eyeball_kid (November 3, 2003)

Cool. By the way, I haven't heard a Canadian apology for Bryan Adams yet.

funkisdead (November 3, 2003)

what exactly would a "canadian apology" sound like?

eyeball_kid (November 3, 2003)

Is a "canadian apology" something i missed? I know they say 'aboot' and 'ey?' if that helps. Anyway for Celine Dion, Avril, Alanis Morrisette, Bryan Adams etc it better be good.

Someone (November 4, 2003)

I haven't heard a yankee apology for Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, Backstreet Boys, Nsync and all those other boy bands. -Canucklehead

Someone (November 4, 2003)

Someone (November 3, 2003)

Holy fucking shit. The Almighty Trigger Happy are back again. The sign of the apocalypse for sure. I say a new album is definately in order. I haven't stopped listening to "I Hate Us" and "I'll Shut Up When You Fuck Off" yet. It was a very dark day when they split up. Al of Nolan is has been leading another band THE DOWNBELOWS, which is also killer. But Trigger Happy was/is/will always be my fav fuckin band. This is the best news I've heard in a long long long time. Speed_of_Mind

Damn right! Trigger Happy fucking rule!

_911 (November 3, 2003)

the toronto and hamilton shows are with jersey..

Someone (November 3, 2003)

God damnit I'm stoked.

Someone (November 4, 2003)

So, did anyone actually see Friday's show in the Shwa? How was it? What was it like compared to the older shows? Is it a new bassist they have now? or other members as well? what happened to their bassist? he was good. Can they still pick up where they left off and make a go of this, or give it up again if they don't make money?

New bass player, The F is his name. He used to be in Bad Blood. Same line up other than that. Bass player moved back to guitar. Trigger Happy 4 Life

Someone (November 4, 2003)

ahh I see. but I meant before that. The guitar player was only the bass player for a few months before they broke up the first time. And was the show good?

Someone (November 5, 2003)

I heard the other bass player moved out west to be with his girlfriend. The show was amazing. They have not missed a step.

Someone (November 5, 2003)

he moved out west WITH his girlfriend, who is now his wife. I believe to calgary to be closer to good snowboarding in the mountains.

Someone (November 11, 2003)
