Bongzilla Announce Dec. Shows; Amerijuanican Reissue Due Nov. 27
I remember listening to Bongzilla‘s Amerijuanican when it came out, and the only question I had was, “How much crustier can it possibly get?” And the answer is none. None more crusty. The Madison, Wisconsin, masters of weedian crunch riffing will reissue Amerijuanican Nov. 27 on vinyl through Relapse Records, and they’ve been playing shows sporadically through most of this year. I don’t know if they’re back together — as in, going to put out a new record — but if you’re like me and still waiting on some more Aquilonian as well, you already know holding out for new material, it might be a bit before they get around to it.
Bongzilla have announced a quick run of shows in the Midwest for next month, and that stint will follow the Amerijuanican reissue, which should sell out on the strength of their “Champagne and Reefer” cover alone if the universe has any justice. I’ll be interested to see if the label follows this one up with any other reissues. I wouldn’t mind an excuse to re-buy Apogee, but maybe that’s me.

PeeWee’s other band Dos Males is a spiritual successor to Aquilonian (different drummer, shorter songs, but pretty similar). Nothing recorded or on the web yet, though.
