I’m excited to announce some new dates back home in The Region. I’ll be reading in Chattanooga, TN and Asheville, NC on December 5 and 6 on tour with old friend and band member, Mitchell Powers, and his new short documentary film, . The 20-minute film, a selection at this year’s San Francisco Indy Documentary Film Fest and the Hot Springs Documentary Film Fest, is about the life of Dalton, GA’s legendary underground musician, and his walk on the line between art and mental illness. You can read the short piece I wrote about Mitchell’s film in the San Francisco Bay Guardian here.

As of this writing, it looks, too, like our old band, Ye Olde Buttfuck, will play a rare reunion at the Chattanooga show. We had our first show eight long years ago on the night after the 2000 election when they were still counting — or not counting — the votes. That night we proudly debuted what we announced was “the first anti-President George W. Bush song by any punk band in America”, our hastily written song, “Double Fuck W.” In December 2008, we hope to get some of the shit off our backs and close the door on this long, doomed era with one more show! You can listen to our 2003 song “Sirens” here, or listen to our “cover” of former Attorney General, John Ashcroft’s song, “Let The Eagle Soar” from a live show at Gilman Street in Berkeley in January 2004 here.

As of this writing, the Chattanooga punks are still looking for a place to hold the show. Location TBA.
