Zero Boys Review on Pitchfork

[John P. Strohm]

Really thoughtful, favorable review of the ZBs re-issues on Pitchfork this morning: http://tinyurl.com/nvxcag Marvin, are you going to temporarily revise your regard for the publication?

[Marvin P. Goldstein]

I still think he should change the name of the band to the Evan Dando Warhols!

[John P. Strohm]

That TMZ thing is hilarious! Not sure I'd want to be a judgment creditor of GM right now though...

Yes, a reunion. There are a few I haven't met, and there are some oddball members, such as the Louisville lineup and the revolving door of bassists on the '96-97 tour. For two weeks, we had a keyboardist.

My favorite lineup (for personal reasons but also for musical bad-assery: me, Evan, Ben Deily and Jesse Peretz. Second favorite: Evan, Dave Ryan, and Juliana Hatfield (Ray lineup, studio only for the most part).

Bah, he never calls me unless he wants boring legal services or something. I can cover three different instruments! I didn't sufficiently appreciate my life during the 600-odd shows I did play.

Speaking of appreciate my life, I'm going to Bonnaroo on Saturday - will anyone be there?

Evan is using some other musicians for those dates. Vess and Mark will re-join after the ZB dates

[Marvin P. Goldstein]

Yep, and if you missed my tour schedule postings over on facesmack maybe you can make sense of this. Lemonheads play 2 nights in Chicago and one other date on June 19,20,21. Zero Boys also play Newport, KY, and Virginia on the same dates? How is this possible, Tufty just says it's magic...

here you go!

yes, Mark is now in the band as well.
There really should be a class reunion type thing for all Lemonheads members!

[John P. Strohm]

Vess on TMZ? Details, please... Also I just found out that Mark is in the current Lemonheads lineup (btw, the value of my former membership in the band is diluted a little bit more with each new member - we must be up to a hundred by now - can I brag that I was the fifth member of the band?!?). So that means 1/2 of the Zero Boys are also in the Lemonheads. Just get Tufty out there as well and see if they can get that Dando to work as hard as Paul Z does in a typical set.

John, Between you and Zero Boys in Pitchfork,and Vess' pic on TMZ.com we are having a boom in locals on internet sites! I really still do like to read about music in print. Anyway, I wouldn't have read this review if it wasn't for you posting on facebook, where I think a lot of people are nowadays. Thanks...
