The Return of ROLLINS BAND
Henry Rollins has reunited his post-Black Flag musical endeavour The Rollins Band. The group formed in 1986 shortly after Black Flag disbanded and
released a series of albums before going on a hiatus.
The lineup includes Rollins, original guitarist Chris Haskett, drummer Sim Cain and bassist Melvin Gibbs who joined the band in 1993.
Rollins had this to say about the status:
We have been practicing on and off for months now, slowly getting it together. Today I went in and they were playing Shame when I got there. Today I
did Black and White, Volume 4, Civilized, Divine Object Of Hatred, Alien Blueprint, Disconnect. It was all I had time for before I had to sprint to
the hotel.
So, we are back together and are planning on getting some shows in by August. Nothing is booked yet. We have contacted all the agents are seeing
what?s available. It?s been really cool being back in the practice room with these guys after all these years. I had a meeting with Theo the other
night in Amsterdam for about an hour after the show and he?s in 100%. I am looking forward to getting more practices happening.
The band's last official album was the 2002 live release The Only Way to Know for Sure.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Chris H is one of most underrated guitar players

this is good hear. I hope that he put out a really good 'come back' record. I would still rather see a Black Flag tour though!

ROLLINS BAND DO IT is easlily one of my top 10 albums of all time. I love that record. I have nothing else by them. I should check more out. I've seen
them play many times from 1990 to 1995. Awsome live. I thought that when he hired that last backup band that was shitty. ANDREW, CHRIS, SIM would be
the total original lineup.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

I have most of the Rollins Band cd's and like the majority of the stuff. It's no Black Flag, but it least they don't try to be. He actually put out
a couple of good records with Mother Superior backing him up. They were tight and did a hell of a job on the Rise Above benefit cd.

I was fourteen when I first heard gun in mouth blues and it scared the shit out of me and excited me at the same time. After that I read his books
and have loved his stuff ever since. Then I saw this political spoken word of his the other night and he seemed kind of childish. Seemed like he
was trying to hard. I'd really like to see Rollins Band with the weight album lineup.
I just can\'t seem to STAND STILL

I got the 3 volumes he wrote "black coffee blues" and "do I come here often" and the other one. I also got that ON THE ROAD book with Black flag. Very
good reads.
