Kenne - 4-4-2005 at 08:09 AM

Hello everyone just wanted to let you know that Boston Hardcore
legend SPRINGA will be appearing with a new, improved version of SS
DECONTROL on tour this Summer.

The lineup features members of THE SLAVES and THE PRIME MOVERS and me, Kenne Highland, on guitar.

We will preform stuff all of the SS DECONTROL and SSD albums, new Springa material and some of my songs from The Vatican Sex Kittens and The Peecocks.

No, Al Barile won't be part of this but SSD was Springa's band in the first place.

Dates are being finalized right now for the New England, NYC and
Chicago areas. I will keep everyone advised!

While I'm completely blown away by the idea Of SS Decontrol playing again, didn't Al write pretty much everything? I would hate to see one of my favorites turn into the same kind of joke that Jerry Only's "Misfits" have been. Wow, this is insane.

I thought Al wrote almost all of the lyrics. Either way, this should be cool. I wonder how big these shows will be.

The venues we've booked so far are between 300 and 1000 capacity.

For the record when we first got the initial two offers Springa called everyone from the KWHTS lineup, including Al before he called us. They didn't wanna to do so here we are.

Arent all of the songs on this? Theyre not in the order as they appear on the albums, but I think all or most are there. I assume so anyway. I dont have the albums in front of me to check.

Most not all. That is on Taang! where there was talk of deluxe editions of the first two with bonus tracks but its not certain. They are definitely releasing at least an EPs worth of material by the new SSD though. If nothing else we will have that and that Taang! comp available on the tour.
