Dip Your Breasts In Shimmering Lip Balm
Of all the great rock n’ roll reunions of recent years - and I’m talking about the Descendents, Too Much Joy, and the Almighty Redd Kross, thank you very much – the one that I’d always secretly hoped for to help put this socio-political shit-charade of a decade in proper perspective was the Dead Milkmen. The right-wing pigeons had swooped down onto the landing strips made for gay martians and we were left high and dry. Where was our voice of reason? Where had you gone, Rodney Anonymous?
At long last, our prayers have been answered – after fizzling out in the mid-’90s, Philadelphia’s finest once again appear to be a fully-functioning rock n’ roll unit. Though Dave Blood sadly put the “dead” in Dead Milkmen, Rodney, Joe Jack Talcum, and Dean Clean eventually recruited Dan “Dandrew” Stevens to fill the vacant bassist position. After a couple of memorial shows for Dave in 2004 and then a just-for-the-hell-of-it appearance at beautiful downtown Austin, TX’s Fun Fun Fun Festival last November, they’re coming to Warsaw in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on April 17th.
Thank God. Now let’s enjoy some of our favorite Milkmen moments:
The Thing That Only Eats Hippies (1985)
Methodist Coloring Book (1990)
The Secret Of Life (1992) **with bonus Canine Bastards baseball hat content!**
