News Scared Of Chaka Reunite (But Not in Portland)

It’s usually not big news when a somewhat obscure Albuquerque pop-punk band reunites, but an exception should be made for the criminally underrated Scared Of Chaka, who are playing together for the first time in a decade on March 28th in Virginia City, NV.

It’s quite the odd place for a reunion show, but the performance is part of the Sticker Guy! 15th anniversary celebration. The band also has a solid Portland connection, as members David Yanul Hernandez and Ron Skrasek currently live in town. Skrasek occasionally plays for the evil Disjecta softball team, while Hernandez has gone on to achieve a great deal of success in some band called The Shins.

Here’s hoping the reunion sticks.
