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.
