Hot Snakes, RFTC Members Form Night Marchers
Over the years, John "Speedo" Reis has pulled the plug on just about every musical institution he'd ever been involved with: Drive Like Jehu, the Hot Snakes, the Sultans, and the mother of them all, much-missed San Diego garage revivalists Rocket From the Crypt.
Moved by the spirit of togetherness, perhaps, Reis' disbanding streak has reverted into something he was always better at: forming bands, putting out records, and rocking the crap out of a live show.
Reis' new thing, the Night Marchers, intend to do just that and then some. Comprised of Reis, his old Hot Snakes-handlers Gar Wood and Jason Kourkounis, and Tommy Kitsos of CPC Gangbangs, the Night Marchers will issue their full-length debut, See You in Magic, April 22 from Swami/Vagrant Records. (Not, as previously reported, March 25). The band will take their new tunes for a spin on the road this winter, with a few Cali dates previewing what's sure to be a spitfire showing at SXSW.
While we're dishing up the Reis, we may as well remind you that R.I.P., the live CD/DVD recorded at Rocket From the Crypt's final show in 2005, will be released on Vagrant February 26.
