Defunct six-piece ska band THE ARROGANT SONS OF BITCHES have announced that they are getting back together for one show at the Warsaw in Brooklyn, NY on May 27th.
The reunion was announced in blog post by the band’s singer, guitarist and saxophonist Jeff Rosenstock, who says there are no plans for more than one reunion show. He explains:
So… the question is probably why are we playing reunion show? I think a weirder question is what the hell is in the air in 2012 that everyone is playing reunion shows? Does this shit seem weird to you? It’s all a conspiracy, man.
When ASOB broke up, it was pretty messy. Some of us didn’t talk to each other for years. When I came back home from Georgia, it seemed like it would be important for us to have one last show so we could at least put a period on the end of the sentence. We had every member we could get a hold of since the start of the band jump in, we played every song we had ever written, and we all went home and that was that.
Over the past few years though, the dust has really settled. I think when we did that “last show” we still weren’t friends who hung out with each other. We just wanted to have an ending. Obviously I’m still in a band with Mike, but now, I see Dave and JT all the time. I’ve released one of Sean’s records. I haven’t seen Bove in years, but I can’t wait to see him.
And I think that’s the thing for all of us. We like each other again, and thought it would be fun to play together again. This show is a one time thing. There are absolutely no plans to make another record, to go on a big tour anywhere or anything like that. We all like the places we’re at in our lives for the most part. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get together and have one more beer with our friends.
