Break Out Your Porkpie Hats, Giant Cellphones, Plaid Shorts, And Stacey Dash, Because The ’90s Are Officially Back
This time it’s official. The [Mighty Might Bosstones] announced a full-fledged Hometown Throwdown — which in its day was the precursor to Dropkick Murphys’ St. Paddy’s Day homestand and Darkbuster’s Hometown Throwup — at the Middle East, December 26-30. Tickets go on sale October 19 at 10 am via Ticketmaster.
“We just kinda stopped playing, we kinda stoped doing it for a while,” Dicky said in a radio interview a few minutes ago. “Six months ago Joe Gittleman called me and said, ‘What do you think about doing a Throwdown?’ Then he said, ‘Who can we ge to sing?’ I said, ‘Joe, why don’t you let me take care of it?’ “
I fessed up to owning Sublime, and I’ll fess up to this: I saw some good Bosstones shows as a youth. Yes, I once went to third-wave ska shows, and I am unashamed. So far this is a one shot deal, but hell, if they reunite for a full tour, I might actually drag my fat ass out to see them, even if that might lead down the slippery slope of reinvesting the Toasters back catalog.
