Just a bit of advice, don't go to the Swami Records website while high on acid. I did that once...bad bad idea.

I can only imagine one scenerio where you ordered 300 dollars worth of merch and it showed up at your door several weeks later. But i don't see how that's a bad thing. I've never done acid so what do I know.

Honestly, if you "do a bunch of acid" EVERYTHING is gonna be fucked up. This was just an excuse to tell someone you did drugs. Way to go, man!

I spoke with Speedo at a Snakes show a few months ago about the possibility of Jehu ever doing another record and he said he can't see it ever happening. Mainly becuase he feels the Snakes are kinda part 2 of that whole thing. Still, it's fun to dream about it though.

I'm pretty sure Hot Snakes will be touring again. I emailed Rick a couple of weeks ago and according to him there was going to be a European Hot Snakes tour, so probably a US tour as well.

That Hot Snakes record is going to be the best thing to come out this year.

Definitely. Just like Suicide Invoice and Automatic Midnight were the best records of 2002 and 2000, respectively. John Reis and Rick Froherg are gods. Gar would be a god too, if only he wouldn't keep forgetting to take his insulin. (Bad joke, I know)

ps I don't know if anyone noticed, but MARIO RUBALCABA is the new drummer for Hot Snakes. Do you realize what this means? the new Hot Snakes record has the potential to be exponentially better than the first two! is it possible? I can't wait to see.

TESTORS -THE GODFATHERS OF HARDCORE PUNK ROCK RETURN

Testors '77 Punk Rock Legends return for two shows in April ,2011

Sneak Preview performance in NYC Saturday April 9, 2011 & Show at the 'Atlanta Mess Around', Saturday, April 16

TESTORS featuring Sonny Vincent (original '77 line-up) will be appearing at The Delancey in NYC on April 9, 2011 for a sneak preview reunion performance.

Formed in 1975, this band is one of the most raw and catastrophic groups to ever grace the stages of CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. The group split up in 1979. This will be their first appearance since they were shocking, inspiring and pissing off people all over town.

"Yeah I worked on these guys for years to get together and finally they have agreed, nothing like playing those songs with the original line-up" - Sonny Vincent
