T.S.O.L. break up

2006-11-27 by tom79 | 13 Comments
Long running Los Angeles based punk act T.S.O.L. has called it quits. Last night the band wrapped up their second of two farewell shows at the Vault in Long Beach, where they played alongside bands like D.I., the Smut Peddlers, Narcoleptic Youth and Manic Hispanic. Guitarist Ron Emory and bassist Mike Roche are leaving California for Nevada and Iowa respectively. There's no word yet on what the future holds for frontman Jack Grisham.

The band had fallen on difficult times in recent years due to a shooting that occurred while they were on stage in Hollywood in 2002. While T.S.O.L. was cleared in the court case they were left with a daunting bill from the attorney that prevented them from widespread touring. That period also resulted in the band's last album Divided We Stand.

T.S.O.L.'s 1981 gothic punk debut Dance With Me was recently reissued by Nitro Records. A retrospective release titled Who's Screwin' Who? surfaced last year.

Yeah, they were a good band, though I should listen to more from them. They had a good run though, 28 years. Even though there was line up changes and breaks in between, and then the whole brief glam-metal phase in the mid 80's they had.This Message Edited On 11.27.06
