Major Awesomeness coming your way. There is a ultra-mega-reunion show with Huntingtons (original line-up pictured above), Ghoti Hook and Tantrum of the Muse along with reunions of local bands Speedy Delivery and Dodevahu. It's a benefit for Huntington's original drummer's wife who has stage 3 brain cancer. It's on June 13th in Philly. So make your plans now.

Punk music is still being played? Had no idea

So you would rather it say "Yo b****, this is some hot s***. Featuring T-Pain."?

I'm just wondering what the classifications are for ultra-mega-reunion....what makes something ultra-mega and what makes something just ultra or just mega....
ultra-mega-reunion = Ghoti Hook
ultra-lame-reunion = Newsboys with Tait

Exactly.
Do you remember the hidden track or whatever it was that they did where the only word was "God" over and over again?

Ghoti Hook had one good song "Shrinky Dinks." That was about it. They'll probably add Value Pac to the line-up as well.
Let me know when 90 lb wuss or Squad 5-0 comes back.

If you read Conrad's blog more than just this one time (decapolis), you would find him to be very sarcastic and very funny. Check out his post about current events, zombie-style.

And yes, ValuePac needs to make a comeback. It seems the only band from that era that's still around is MxPx. Honestly I'm surprised Vroom isn't part of the ticket.

I think that reunion show they did a few years ago was to make the end of the band final. I thought I read (possibly on decapolis) that one of them was moving to India or something.

I was hoping they'd do Cornerstone this year, but it sounds like they're not.
Anybody else notice that Cornerstone has been hosting a lot of "reunion" shows in the past few years?

Conrad is an awesome guy. I spent a lot of time at decapolis back in the day and have nothing but respect for him.
Ghoti Hook wrote funny songs when he was around. After he left things took a serious and more rock n' roll turn. All of it was good, just in a lot of different ways. Even their cover albums. All IMHO, of course.
The Huntingtons were also something special. It was like The Ramones had come back to write new music for a while and it was awesome.
If I can work it out, I'll be there for this.

This was a little before my time. I knew Ghoti Hook but it was towards the end. I'd heard of all the other bands but never got into them.

I never really liked listening to the Huntingtons other than live, but live they were great, especially when they would come out in full Ramones gear and wigs.
