News Final Warning to Reunite, Finally
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 7:00 AM
One of Portland's flagship hardcore/punk bands of the Reagan years, Final Warning, is reuniting for a series of Pacific Northwest shows. First Seattle, then a performance at Satyricon on September 20th. Self-described as "the most handsome and slender hardcore band in Portland"--that is a difficult claim to live up to for older bands, I better see some bullet belts wrapped around slim waistlines at the show--Final Warning made their run from 1982 until 1986, taking part in the well-respected, and well-romanticized, era of Portland underground music.
These reunion shows (with their "classic" lineup of Jeff Paul, Jeff "Simon" Simoncini, Tim Paul, and Dan Cunneenwill) will be their first performances since 1986, and to catch up on the band (or what you missed when you just a kid during the '80s) a good start is their PDX anthology. Released last year on Southern Lord, the 16-song release features all their studio material plus a live set from a '85 performance at the Starry Night, where they opened for this band.
Now if you don't mind, I need to watch that video again. "Eeeeeeeeeegypt, come back to me!"
