What we did on our summer vacation…
We had a great time at the Insubordination Festival in Baltimore back in June. Maybe some of you made out to the show. If not there are videos and photos online here:

We also played a very short set at a benefit show at the Tritone on South Street in early August. Here are two videos from that performance:
The Dead Milkmen “Wish U Were Here/Bitchin Camaro/Tiny Town/Beach Song” @ Tritone- Philly 8/1/09
The Dead Milkmen “Junkie/Smokin’ Banana Peels/Right Wing Pigeons/Lucky” @ Tritone- Philly 8/1/09

We played a surprise set at the Pi Lam Human BBQ back in April. This was an unannounced gig due to the size of the venue…and the last time we played there 20 years ago we broke the floor!
