Dead Milkmen Will Play Fun Fun Fun Festival
Dead Milkmen Will Play Fun Fun Fun Festival!
The DM have decided to reunite and play the Fun Fun Fun Festival in Austin Texas on the weekend of November 8-9, 2008. We’ll have Danny Stevens on bass again. Rehearsals have started and are going well. Check the festival website for updates and details. Based on what we’ve heard this is a great festival.
We had been approached back in January and Graham the promoter was persistent, even going as far as asking our producer Brian Beattie from Glass Eye to try to convince us to play. Turns out Graham was one of the kids who sang at the beginning of Beige Sunshine when we recorded Metaphysical Graffiti, one of the three records we did in Austin all those years ago. We loved Austin and decided what the heck – should be fun. Hope to see some of you there.

Mario, it’s not until November, but the question is… will The Dead Milkmen be playing in Philadelphia in October?! If so I’m going to see them, I am so obssessed with these guys…. this should be the biggest buzz on the internet right now! This is even better than the Boomtown Rats and Bad Brains getting back together.

This is great news. Unfortunately I will be unable to attend. Please stay together and play on The East Coast if you have the tme!

last month four of my friends had birthdays. none of them had heard of the dead milkmen. i gave them all a copy of beelzebubba. got mixed reviews, but i do not care, because i love the dead milkmen
i will be in austin to see the show with my friend dave, who was the first person to play some dead milken for me
dave knows, he has the knowledge, he has a collection of every phamplet that ever came out of pueblo colorodo. yep. the knowledge. should be a title to a song

Oh my fucking god. I heard about how I was going into debt today; my buddy Brain said to me “so there’s this fun fun fun festival and the dead milkmen are playing” and I said “what what what festival?!!!” That’s when I nearly fell over in the comic book store.
I am so excited I don’t even know what to do with myself. I first got a copy of Beelzebubba when I was 13 years old, too young to see the Milkmen live. When I bought this tape I was at a used items store and knew nothing of what I was getting into. At the time I listened to Def Leopard or Guns & Roses Cinderella etc. Beelzebubba saved me, I am a better person today because I found this album which was probably the most important piece of music in my musical growth. November can not come soon enough.

did i mention that if you were to put dark glasses on dave that he would look like jim jones. he looks like jim jones alright
when dave went from mohawk to shaved head people thought he was dying
that was when he was most alive
people would see him in the stores and reach for their children
one year, he placed a sign outside his house during holloween saying “We Poison Kids” spelled with only one “d”
good ol dave
once, a local drunk, “the shadow boxer” quesioned his choice of alcohol, “King Kobra” (which dave later drank hot)
the shadow boxer , looked at the King Kobra Dave put on the counter (which was also being bought for underage kids) with a look of dismay and sadness
he suggested “at least Falstaff, buey”

My husband and I will be coming out to Austin from Denver, Co. Haven’t seen the guys since the early 90′s! I was at all of the shows at the Gothic Theater…..even the one where some kid dove off of the stage and fell flat on the ground (on his head). Paramedics came. Love you guys.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Wish I could be there. Hope you will play some shows elsewhere as well. Thank you.

[...] made it’s return last Friday with a bang interviewing Philly legends of punk-comedy gold Dead Milkmen. (And Stereolab too.) If you missed the show it’s now available as a podcast here. [...]

Nooooooo! Please tell me you have a couple of tickets put back for your biggest fans like me!!!? I can’t make it to your show in Austin and I need to see you guys…. if noone sells their ticket on ticketmaster or anything, I’m going to die
October 15th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Good luck from Wagontown.
October 17th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Ugh I never thought the Philly show would be before the Texas show, I checked today and it’s sold out. I guess it was never meant to be… :(
October 17th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
I both love you for playing a show and hate you for playing far away in Austin.
Come to NYC! Please please please. You can stay at my apartment and I will bake you brownies if that’s what it will take to get you here.

COME TO BALTIMORE!!!!!!!!!!
Been listening for nearly 20 years. Favorite song is “Bitchin Camero”
October 26th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
I just found out about you guys reforming to play the fun fun fun fest. Sadly i can not make it due to finances. I’ve been a big fan since elementary school and still am now even as a grown ass man. I have always regretted never being able to see you guys. I would hope you would consider doing some more dates.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
i love your guy’s band it is my favorite! i really wish that i could come see you but i can’t! :( come to San Diego!!! dave blood was one of the two atrists that inspiered me to play bass! my favorite song is ask me to dance, play it for me!
October 29th, 2008 at 3:42 am
well, you guys ought to know by now how much i love you and how much you have done for me through your music. i just cant put into words… in 1987 i was a scared shittless little 15 year old nerd, and when i heard bucki, the message i heard was, be a scared shittless little 15 year old nerd all you want, and be HAPPY too.
i hope you guys will do a few more shows… i missed the unitarian church show, (saw subhumans there awhile back, … primo!) anyways, please please please play again!
so what do you guys think? i am convinced this country is on its way out… (i especially want to know what rodney thinks… i have not been to his site in awhile… i should check it some time)
cheers!

November 11th, 2008 at 1:13 pm

i would travel anywhere to see another show
November 11th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Great show at Fun Fun Fun Fest…..and the Sarah Palin jokes too!
November 11th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Great show guys! Your music means more to me as the years wear on. I even got to say hello to Joe at the Fun Fest (while he was watching the Adolescents play). I just wanted to hug him….but I restrained myself….didn’t want to freak him out or anything! Please visit Denver! I promise that I will keep my hands to myself:)
November 17th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
I’m so, so sad I was unable to get vacation time to get down to Austin… Guys, please play the midwest. I’m sure there are some great reunion opportunities in Lincoln, Omaha, Council Bluffs, Kansas City… somewhere!!!! How about I’ll throw a big party and you guys come down. Maybe I need to get married – would you play a high-profile wedding for the right price?
