ThisGreasyLoveAndHate

We’re very honored to be asked to help our good friends in 500 Megatons of Boogie celebrate a record release for the second time (of 2 total records). If you haven’t seen them before, here is some important information about 500 Megatons of Boogie, broken down for you into easy-to-digest bullet points.

  • Big goofy guys
  • Awesome punk rock
  • Songs about crayons, plastic toys and blue-collar occupations
  • James Brown covers
  • Crazy-ass guitar playing
  • Former members of the Squishees and the Slurpees
  • Boogie, 500 Megatons’ worth
  • Second record
  • Rudyard’s
  • Sloppy Joes
  • Jaegerbombs
  • Wet t-shirt contest
  • Bachelor auction
  • “500 Megatons of Boogie” can be abbreviated as “500 MTB” or “500 Megatons”
  • Chris Ryan will NOT be there

I think that’s most of what you need to know in order to be prepared for the 500 Megatons portion of the show.

Opening the show is a band called Recreator.I had actually never heard of this band before I heard they were on the show, so I assumed they were new, but their myspace suggests that they’ve been together since 1992. Their music reminds me a little of the Birthday Party.

Their very short bio suggests that Recreator has former members of Immortal Skin Headdress, the Love Pumps and Dragster, but I don’t know if those are even real bands.

I really don’t know much about this band, so I don’t think bullet points are the way to go here. Why don’t we turn to another perennial blogging crutch, Youtube:

OK. . . I’m actually kind of excited to see this band now. Hear a number of their songs at Reverbnation.
