SD Demands: Attend the KILGORE REUNION - May 19 2007!!!

from April 11, 2007

Kilgore (Smudge) was a band that had a tremendous influence on me and my music (their song "3" was the basis for "Ten After Three" off of Kegstand Poetry, their 'smokestack' logo was transformed as an homage into the current SD logo of today) and just happened to contain a few good friends over the years. They essentially defined Rhode Island music in mid-nineties, made some of the planet's finest heavy music of the decade, and then, life happened, and they disappeared.

This May 19, they re-form for one night, to benefit a great cause.

I encourage all of you to check them out, and to make sure you reserve the date to be at the show.

A special note for SD & PDP fans: you've seen Kilgore guitarist Brian McKenzie open for us at a number of shows, as well as Big Jon Tierney, who will be warming it up for KS that night, so familiar faces will be everywhere.

Do not miss it.

The official word from Jay Berndt's wife Jessica:

"From my wife Jessica......
A Fight To Remember Benefit


So those of you in hell may want to put on a sweater. Something none of us ever thought would happen, is not only happening. It is happening at our breast cancer benefit, May 19th at Jakes!!!

As most Rhode Islanders know, Kilgore (Smudge) were pretty frickin' huge, as far as local acts go. They toured with Ozzy and Slayer, they opened for Marilyn Manson, Megadeth, Biohazard, Clutch, face it, everyone.

They went their seperate ways in 1999. And we all thought that was the end of the story.

HA

They have agreed to get back together to play the benefit.

So now not only do you have the oppurtunity to bid on amazing stuff on EBay... Or bid on awesome stuff at the event (stuff that will not be available online).... Not only will you get to see a bunch of awesome bands and drink for charity....
Now you can see something alomost more rare than a jackalope humping a unicorn...


Jay Berndt, Bill Southerland, Brian McKenzie, and Jason Smith on one stage!

Don't miss this oppurtunity!

Spread the word!!

Donate to our cause!!

Have an awesome day."
