Dave Raun (Lagwagon) joins Black President full time

After filling in as guest drummer on dates with TSOL Dave Raun of Lagwagon will be joining Black President full time replacing drummer Roy Mayorga. His new bandmates commented:

Dave is a badass… We stayed at his house when our van broke down in Fresno on the Warped Tour and it just clicked. He came in, killed it on the TSOL tour, and has brought a whole new energy to the band. Roy is an old friend and amazing drummer who will definitely be missed. We wish him all the best and there are no hard feelings.

The band will be supporting Bouncing Souls next month.

Ben Weasel confirms Screeching Weasel lineup, show plans

Ben Weasel has updated his blog with a posting about the controversy regarding the Screeching Weasel lineup:

I really want to give you the lowdown on the SW re-formation but there’s honestly not a lot to say. Legal issues prevented me from doing my own band on my own terms over the past couple of years but thankfully those problems are all resolved now. The kind of stuff happens sometimes. I won’t deny that those problems – which were really just the culmination of many years of a lot of other b.s. – left a foul taste in my mouth about SW.

But now that all the headaches are behind me I’m feeling great about it. I’m finally running my own band again and I’m really happy and excited to be back at it. I’ve got a killer line-up comprised of myself, Danny Vapid, Simon Lamb (the Ritalins), Justin Perkins (Yesterday’s Kids) and Adam Cargin (Blueheels) (he’s also the new Riverdales drummer) and we’ve got a great set list. And I’m thrilled to be playing in Texas – places like Houston and Austin were always great for Screeching Weasel in our touring days. We are only playing two other shows in 2009 (in the fall – they’ll be announced next month) so we’ll hope to see you at one of them

As Ben notes, the band will be playing Austin, TX in June.
