The Blue Meanies, the world's greatest ska/punk/polka/jazz/carnival hybrid band is officially out of their self-declared "coma" and are getting back in the habit of saving the world via delivering the Rock[TM]. Their summer schedule includes a re-release of their newest album, "The Post Wave" as well as a re-release of their classic disc "Full Throttle" [with new artwork and maybe some unreleased tracks], both on their rightful label home of Thick Records. They are also considering putting out another b-sides CD, salvaging tracks from "The Post Wave" sessions. And they're not stopping there! They have been asked to appear on a Nirvana tribute album coming out this fall on VMS Records, so to be sure to look out for that. And if that's not enough for you, they've announced some fall tour dates! Will the mayhem ever cease? Click below to view 'em:
