Wargasm

Some news and more news. Figured I'd post this. You should be able to listen to the acoustic set (how odd, huh?) on http://www.waaf.com. Their streams are usually great.

Also, I'll be going to the show, so if anyone wants a DVD, let me know.

Quote :

Boston's legendary thrashers WARGASM will take part in a four-song acoustic performance on Sunday, August 31 on WAAF's "Bay State Rock" show with Carmelita. The performance will also include members of STEEL ASSASSIN and GOZU and will feature original WARGASM songs as well as NWOBHM classics. The program runs from 11:00 p.m. to midnight and the performance will be followed by a live interview with the band. There will be ticket giveaways for the September 13 show at The Middle East in support of the 20th anniversary of "Why Play Around?" and the release of the WARGASM DVD "Knee Deep In The Middle East: Wargasm Live in Boston 2004".
