Easter’s come and gone, and deranged garage act Nobunny didn’t forget to mark the occassion with a special show (his ‘9th ANNUAL EASTER EGG BASH!’) in Oakland on Saturday. It’s already past, but the flyer below.

Nobunny heads out on tour this May and June with the Spits. They’ll be at Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on Friday, June 11th. Tickets are on sale.

The Spits’ put out their fourth self-titled LP (known as “School’s Out”) last year on Recess Records. The band’s sound is a unique blend of garage and New Wave punk, to quote ourselves, “they straddle the line between straight-up garage punk and Devo-esque lo-fi keyboard proto-punk.”

The Spits were at this year’s SXSW in Austin (a city they’ll return to with Nobunny for Chaos in Tejas at the end of May). They played a set outside of Beerland on Friday, March 19th – the same place Fucked Up played a day earlier to cap a bill of Shattered Records artists paying tribute to the label’s founder Jay Reatard. “We played at Beerland for a tribute to Jay Reatard who released one of my records, took us on tour, and also gave me a serious shrimp job. I miss him calling me at 5 AM. I miss him period”, said Hunx of Hunx & His Punx who played the show. A video of Fucked Up and the Spits playing the same spot on different days and all tour dates are below…
