While Jon has a new one with the Waco Brothers, Lu and Steve havn’t been lazy: For quite a while Steve Goulding has been drumming with New York City folksinger Megan Reilly. She has a new cd out called ‘the well’. The new cd is quite a step for Megan, so please give it a listen.
Lu Edmonds had been playing with Public Image Ltd. from 1986-89. In 2009 PIL was reformed and has toured both in the USA and Europe. Now PIL has released a new 4 track EP: ‘One drop’.

Director Joe Angio presents a sneak preview of scenes from his upcoming film Revenge of the Mekons (USA, 20 min.), about the pioneering and genre-bending rock band.
Last Saturday saw the Mekons in Berlin after an absence of 15 years. So this was a fine opportunity for some heartcore fans of the band to see them again.
In addition to the setlist they played even more songs: A requested ‘Millionaire’ and ‘Shanty’.
