Ben Weasel - The Brain That Wouldn't Die
You all know Ben Weasel. Lead singer and sometimes-guitarist for legendary Chicago punk heroes Screeching Weasel; also, he of the Riverdales with his former Screeching cohorts, and of course his pair of solo albums, including 2007′s excellent These Ones Are Bitter. Now, as of 2009, he’s reformed the Riverdales, and Screeching Weasel (sans drummer John Jughead) for a handful of shows.
Earlier this year, Ben and friends played a pair of shows in Chicago, wherein the band played Screeching Weasel’s classic My Brain Hurts LP in its entirety. Now, here’s a recording of the shows, for the listening pleasure of those who- like me- couldn’t make it those nights.
