Unsane to Tour Their Way Out to AmRep’s 25th Anniversary Party

Posted in Whathaveyou on June 11th, 2010 by JJ Koczan

It seems like every time Unsane do anything these days, it’s a comeback. I like that. They should just do comebacks for the rest of their career, and since they rule, I’m glad they’re throwing in the added shtick of playing Scattered, Smothered and Covered in its entirety. I hope it works out for them.

The PR wire informs of a comeback already in progress:

Legendary NYC rock powerhouse Unsane has announced summer, 2010 US tour dates. The revered trio — guitarist/vocalist Chris Spencer, drummer Vincent Signorelli and bassist Dave Curran — will kick off its plan of attack with a string of special US live shows this August that will see the band perform its classic 1995 album Scattered, Smothered and Covered from start to finish.

The announcement of the special Unsane live shows coincides with the 25th anniversary of Amphetamine Reptile Records, once home to the band. As part of the cut to the bone August tour, Unsane will perform alongside The Melvins, Boss Hog and more as one of the featured artists at the AmRep 25th Anniversary Bash, set to take place August 27 and 28 in Minneapolis, MN.

“We’re really looking forward to the Unsane shows in August,” Chris Spencer comments. “The idea of performing Scattered, Smothered and Covered in its entirety is something that I have wanted to do for a very long time. To do an album that I like that much from start to finish is going to be incredible. We’ve never done this before, and it’s going to be both challenging and very exciting. The thought of being able to also do this at the AmRep anniversary show really kicks it up a notch!”
