Growing up worshiping Pop-Punk Rock in the 1990s, Rev. Norb was as important a figure as it could get. The anticipation of his new article in Maximum Rock N Roll or awaiting his bands new LP or 7″. With his band Boris The Sprinkler, Rev. Norb the self proclaimed voice of geek America released 8 LPs, 4 EPs and a very prolific 17 singles. The good reverend, was nice enough to talk with Michael Kane for an interview with Punknews.

Riot Fest West, the west coast run of Riot Fest, has been delayed to 2010 due to health issues affecting the promoter. The Chicago event will go on as scheduled, but the Los Angeles festival is now delayed. The promoter explained:

A few weeks ago, I found out that my health was failing, and I was advised by doctors to take a few months off for treatment. It was somber news to say the least, but my immediate reaction was how this would inherently affect Riot Fest. After speaking with family and close friends about the situation and mulling it over for a few days, I decided that if I couldn’t give it my all because of health related issues, then, I should postpone Riot Fest West until I’m cleared by doctors, which should hopefully be in Spring 2010.

For all of you who have already purchased tickets for Riot Fest West, a refund was issued this morning, and once again I deeply apologize – this was the one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make… but, mark my words, we’ll see you in 2010.

We love badass stuff, it’s a big part of what that has driven us since our first Kiss record in 3rd grade; discovering BMX, skating and surfing, Kung Fu movies, motorcycles, the Bad Brains and Cromags, punk belts and Slayer, Charles Bronson and so on. We shouted out anything and everything that came to our mind the day we wrote and recorded “Badass”
