No quite dead yet

I managed to see the Dead City Rebels a few times before they broke up, in places like Bumpers, the Dominion Tavern and Lucky Ron's (or was it the Hi-Fi then?) and at Zaphod's II opening for Tricky Woo. I also saw them a couple of times after they broke up. At the Dom, when they celebrated the non-release of Electromagnetic Feel on the defunct Man's Ruin label and most recently at the release party for pal Dirty Donny's Monster Revolt! There was just once difference this time around (and I don't mean that Neil kept his shirt on). No, I mean that I actually had a camera to document this particular re-union. Huzzah!

Introduction action from John Westhaver!
