Milkmen

Joe Jack Talcum (aka Joe Genaro of the Dead Milkmen) will play a solo show in NYC on Thursday (4/7) at Cake Shop. Samuel Locke Ward and Toby Goodshank, who recently released a split 7" on Slumber Party Records, and Xaddax are also on the bill. $10 gets you in the door.

Joe and Samuel also both play a show at Connie's in Philly on Friday with 25 Cromwell Street. Who/what/where is 25 Cromwell Street? Well, all we know is that it's "Rodney's Band." Rodney of course, to quote Wikipedia, "is best known as the lead vocalist, keyboardist and co-songwriter of the satirical punk rock band The Dead Milkmen." Lots of Milkmen in the house at Connie's on Friday. All of Joe's upcoming dates are listed below.

All of the Milkmen will be back in NYC on SATURDAY, APRIL 9th when the Dead Milkmen return to headline Warsaw. Tickets are still on sale. Pioneers of Seduction and Party Photographers open the show. Oh, and we also have a pair of tickets you can win. Details below.

In March the reunited band flew down to Austin for a headlining appearance at the SXSW-week MWTX fest. Someone reports...

A packed audience for the MWTX party at the Eastside Drive-In went on and on past sunset. We watched Davila 666 and Thee Oh Sees for the forth time each and loved it, then went over to see Dead Milkmen. The crowd was nuts. More stage divers than one could count, just throwing themselves on the crowd.

Kids were climbing speakers and most of the people in the front were stamped with Dead Milkmen tattoos. We literally saw a beer can fly straight into the air, probably 15 feet -[Miami New Times]

The Brooklyn show is one of two U.S. dates the Milkmen have coming up. The other is Congress Theater in Chicago on April 30th.

The Dead Milkmen recently dropped their first LP in 16 years, The King In Yellow...

"We began working on new material soon after playing the FunFunFun Festival in Austin, TX in 2008. Basic tracks were recorded in two weekend sessions in November (South Street Soundz) and December (Miner Street Studios) 2010. Returning to Miner Street in February 2011 for mixing with Brian McTear, we were able to put the final touches on the songs and ready the album for mastering and release.

Look for The King In Yellow to be available as a CD in a month as well as through iTunes, Amazon, emusic and other outlets."

Meanwhile you can listen to the record and buy a digital copy at the band's site.

In related news Xaddax, who are playing Cake Shop with Joe, and who feature Nick Sakes of ex-Dazzling Killmen fame, are also scheduled to play May 7th at Union Pool with Young Widows and My Disco. Xaddax will release their debut cassette via Damage Rituals in August. Stream three songs below, alongside contest details, more dates, and some video....

Sometimes, ya know, its probably better to let people remember when you were pretty good rather than carrying on too long.

The new album is so bad it makes me physically angry. I just fucking gave a crazy roundhouse kick to my coworker after hearing the song about having a crush on a member of the Best Buy Geek Squad. (no, that is really a fucking song)

I used to love Dead Milkmen in the 80s, but FUCK THESE GUYS IZ OLD AS FUCK NOW! they are like GRANDPA AL LEWIS OLD! I just have to say it again --- FUCK!

Posted by Anonymous | April 6, 2011 9:35 PM

Saw them the last time they played Warsaw, and they were f'ing fantastic. I don't care how old they are.

Posted by The Mighty KC | April 8, 2011 9:17 AM

wait, what are people fighting about in the comments here?

Anyway, the show was great. I was skeptical but very pleasantly surprised. LOTS of energy, and I imagine pretty much the same show you would have seen from them 20 years ago (except for the few new songs).

P.S. If you loved the Dead Milkmen in the 80s, Newsflash: YOU ARE OLD NOW TOO.
