Mighty Mighty Bosstones announce comeback

I saw them live a bit over a decade ago. It was great. I would definitely like to see them again.

 

Weren't they featured in a Chuck Taylor commercial at some point?

 

I don't remember that, but that's what it says on the band's Wiki page:

Where'd they go?

Best news I've heard all week. Saw them at Tipatinas in 1994 and St. Pete in 1993.

Top 5 best live band!! Stage dove in club in 1993.

Wake up Dr. D!!

 

I've been a big fan for years, obviously. But I always felt a bit jaded listening to "All Things Considered" off Pay Attention.

We knew it's true
He's short a few
Check out the deck, it's light
Said he wrote the entire soundtrack for A Hard Day's Night
On Peyton Place, played second base
He says but he regrets
The stadium was Shea, the team, the New York Mets


I can't even listen to music without my being a Mets fan thrown in my face. ...

 

so Dickie is giving up his Jimmy Kimmel gig?

 

I think the comeback will only be for the Hometown Throwdown in December, so he'll probably be able to keep his day job.

 

Mighty Mighty Bosstones announce the band breaks up (again). Possibly due to frontman Dicky Barrett producing an RFK Jr. song and nutter video. At least that's the impression everyone's getting. He's also out as Jimmy Kimmel announcer:

BTW, here is the video. The song steals Graham Nash's lyrics from "Chicago" and credits them to RFK Jr.:

"Heart of Freedom" - Children's Health Defense

Graham Nash hits out at anti-vaxxer over unauthorised use of his song 'Chicago'

 

All-time necro dive on this board.

Blast-from-the-past appearances from mike311gd, Idaho and the smoking hot Kaylee.
