Here are the USA tour dates for Echo And The Bunnymen: 6.9.06 Chula Vista, CA / Coors Amph 6.10.06 Mountain View, CA / Shoreline Amph. 6.11.06 Santa Ana, CA / Galaxy Concert Theatre 6.12.06 Los Angeles, CA / Henry Fonda Theatre 6.13.06 Cabazon Key Club @ Morongo 6.16.06 Dallas, TX / Gyspy Ballroom 6.17.06 Austin, TX / La Zona Rosa 6.18.06 Houston, TX / Warehouse Live 6.20.06 Atlanta, GA / The Roxy 6.21.06 Lake Buena Vista, FL / House Of Blues 6.23.06 Charlotte, NC / Amos Southend 6.24.06 Norfolk, VA / The Norva 6.26.06 Washington, DC / Black Cat 6.27.06 Hartford, CT / Toads Place 6.29.06 Philadelphia, PA / TLA 6.30.06 Boston, MA / Paradise Rock Club 7.1.06 New York, NY / Irving Plaza The ticket sales for the Atlanta date have not yet been announced, but I can say with absolute conviction that I'll be at that show one way or another. These guys are still amazing live.

Wayne's ramblings between the songs slowed the pace a bit (and Yoshimi isn't my fav album by a long chalk) but other than that this was one of the best shows I've ever seen in my 25+ years of gig going... If the Flaming Lips are providing the soundtrack when I wake up dead, I'll know there is a heaven!

At the heart of their story is the immeasurable personal and musical bond between bassist Mike Watt and singer and guiatrist D. Boon. Childhood friends, their unbridled creativity and political views were the foundation of this groundbreaking band which refused to be categorized as Punk. The film weaves together personal tales from Watt and drummer George Hurley with archival interview footage of the band and rare live performances. New interviews with over 50 musicians, artists, journalists, and friends help tell the Minutemen story, from their humble beginnings in the harbor town of San Pedro, California, to the tragic 1985 death of D. Boon in a highway accident in the Arizona desert. Interviews include: Mike Watt, D. Boon, George Hurley, Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Ian MacKaye (Fugazi), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Henry Rollins, J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Richard Hell, Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), John Doe (X), Keith Morris (Circle Jerks, Black Flag), Colin Newman (Wire), Grant Hart (H|sker D|), Milo Aukerman (Descendents), Dez Cadena and Kira Roessler (Black Flag), Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets), Nels Cline, producer Spot, artist Raymond Pettibone, journalists Byron Coley and Richard Meltzer and many, many more.

His songwriting successfully married the band's art-noise leanings to his populist ambitions, and did so without compromise." - Spin (1986) "Lovable documentary about the lovable band... their idealism, their humor and decency is spellbinding" - Sarah Vowell, The New York Times "The Minutemen were influential then and now, and "We Jam Econo" is a valentine to the band D. Boons memory. Theyre immortal now, and that's as it should be." - Seattle Times "No band epitomized smart punk rock more than the Minutemen and no band's legacy better captures the sense of tragedy that underlies the history of punk." - The Oregonian "We Jam Econo resurrects and hoists high a genuinely maverick spirit, with its depiction of the Minutemen's humble beginnings, the band's visionary music (a hybrid of punk, funk, jazz and beat poetry) and populist approach to rock-as-lifestyle, and the members' shared sense of mission that inspired hundreds of other bands to take up the cause. Old fans and newcomers alike will feel proud to stand before it and salute." - Detroit Metro Times ************************************************** Upcoming Screenings and Events for WE JAM ECONO: ************************************************** April 27, 2006 - Milwaukee, WI - Lava Java April 28 & 29, 2006 - San Francisco, CA - Red Vic Movie House May 3, 2006 - Brooklyn, NY - Northsix May 7th, 2006 - Paris, France - Sonic Protest Festival May 18, 2006 - Santa Cruz, CA - Rio Theatre May 25, 2006 - Stuttgart, Germany - Club Schocken June 25, 2006 - Bakersfield, CA - Empty Space theatre **STAY TUNED for more screenings and special events for the DVD Release. - ------------ Tired of spam?
