Regrding Rocket Reducers gg atthe Rickshaw this Friday. China Creeps backed out today due to multiple what I am led to assume must be skateboard injuries. The Rocket Reducers are still playing, still a fine band, still on tour all the way from Ontario and still need your support so come on out and do it. Urban Guerilla are a rising Jihad of rocknroll sewn together from bits of the Spitfires and Red Hot Lovers and worth the price of admission in and of their own rocking selves. The Creeps left a gaping hole in the bill so if any punky band wants to play please get back to me asap. dave@theskinnymag.info
