Don't keep us in suspense, who are your friends in SY?

I hope it isn't Kim AND Thurston, because that would make for some pretty awkward get-togethers.

not trying to keep anyone in suspense...not at all as all fairly meaningless now...but certainly no reason in this thread to talk about my crap...I was in a band called Volcano Suns...we played with Husker Du, Minutemen and Sonics big black buttholes all the time and toured etc...so yes, all friends from long way back...same record labels etc and lots of time on road...long time ago...

Serious street cred. I listened to your band but never saw you on tour. This so explains your sometimes curmudgeonly-ness. All is understood.

"We couldn't find it in the van at all
We wondering if you looked in that trash can
When we threw out that trash, man
Was the bag in your hand?
Did you dump it?
Call later. Bye."

Very cool! I'm a big fan, that's a great band. If you were in the band when you toured with the Minutemen, I might very well have seen you--I saw the Suns on the Bright Orange tour in '85 or '86 (probably was '86), and possibly again (it all kind of blurs together). Both Bright Orange Years and All Night Lotus Party are great records, and your whole catalog is solid (I'm assuming you're not Peter Prescott or Bob Weston!). I've got a good friend who's also a big Suns fan.

Sounds as if you were in the band early, based on the other bands you mention, but if you don't feel like getting into it, no worries.

My cousin was the best man at Neil Young's daughter's wedding. He tells a story of sitting in the groomsmen room with Neil and trying to not sound or act like a super fan. He said he was a very good person.

Well that’s awesome! I’ve seen you play in hick-city Canada in the late 80s

Punk rock was my life when I was 17...
