Hey There Menlo Park Reader....

ICKY BOYFRIENDS RE-UNION SHOW OCTOBER 23rd in San Francisco

In what can only be called "unexpected" news, the no longer late, but
for sure always to be great Icky Boyfriends
will be re-uniting for 1 (one) ONE show only on October 23rd in San
Francisco as part of the upcoming
budget rock 9 festival. Details are still forthcoming, and I'll update
you on exacts at some point. There are many rumors surrounding the
re-get together, feel free to start one yourself. If you have never
checked out the 2 disc "A Love Obscene" retrospective we put out a few
years back, it's not too late, but you've been missing out. I'll be your
Wikipedia in that the Icky Boyfriends roamed the hallways of San
Francisco in the late 80's and mid-90's and pretty much epitomized the
deliberate yet savant precision a rock band can have and still be real
when they have the right moxie...and they sang a lot about California
and some girl named Kate. Go to SF, see them or if not, watch this movie
made about them "I'm Not Fascinating - The Movie!" - it's 49 minutes
from 1996. A Danny Plotnick Film. - thanks Danny...
