Hey Everyone,
Summer is here. Got my first watermelon of the season. It was kind of bad, come to think of it. Mushy. I trust this won't be a trend. Anyway...
JAWBREAKER NEWS
A live version of "Kiss The Bottle" from Gilman Street (July 3, 1993) will be on In Honor: A Compilation To Beat Cancer on Vagrant Records. It will benefit cancer research through the Syrentha Savio Endowment (SSE) and the Sean McGrath Fund (SMF). Here's a link: http://www.syrentha.org. Bands confirmed: Bouncing Souls//Cursive/Face To Face/Funeral For A Friend/Hot Water Music/Name Taken/None More Black/Sean McGrath/Sparta/Strike Anywhere.
A live version of "Chesterfield King" from CBGB (May 29, 1993) will be on Rock Against Bush Volume 2 on Fat Wreck Chords. Confirmed: Foo Fighters/Green Day/Bad Religion/ Sleater-Kinney/Lawrence Arms. Check punkvoter.com for info.
BLACKBALL NEWS
I plan on releasing other bands on Blackball. They will consist largely of my friends and anyone who I think is good.
The first non-Jawbreaker project is going to be La Plebe. They are an awesome hardcore/ska band from SF's Mission District who sing almost exclusively in Spanish. They are the most exciting live band I've seen in ages. Visit their site for show info: laplebe.com. They will get into the studio hopefully with Lars Frederiksen after he gets back from tour.
Next?
WHYSALL LANE NEWS
We have a site, but haven't added content other than an mp3 of "The Way Back" for your perusal. whysall-lane.com.
We played the Fillmore a couple weeks ago with Sleater-Kinney and Quasi. Yes, that's Janet doing double-time in both bands (upwards of 2 hours of drumming per night)! It was great to see them play and also a thrill to play to a captive audience of 1,000. I think we did all right.
Upcoming Shows:
June 9 at the Fillmore, SF. Opening for Mission of Burma (you have NO IDEA).
June 16 at Bottom Of The Hill, SF. Opening for Challenger (featuring Jessica Hopper!).
June 19 at Huntridge Theater, Las Vegas. Opening for the Ataris (Reeve Oliver also playing).
SWAG
Whysall Lane shirts:
$10. Red, with black and white ink. West Side Story logo (see site). S, M,L,XL, Babydoll. Buttons free w/ order.
Jawbreaker stickers and buttons:
Send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope and I'll send a sticker and button. Logo style, white on black. Send a buck if you want a few of both.
Send to: Blackball Records: 1034 Valencia Street SF, CA 94110
As always, you can order a few different Jawbreaker shirts from Cinderblock.com.
That's about it, folks. Feel free to drop me a line via the Blackball site. I hope this found you well. Till next time.

Whysall Lane opening for Mission Of Burma? Sounds like a good show to me. Thanks for the update Adam.

Word. If Braid (I'm seeing them tomorrow night by the way) gets a DVD, then Jawbreaker definitely deserves one! There are tons of bootlegs of old JB concerts floating around, so tracking down prime footage shouldn't be too much of an issue. Releasing a DVD is a lot harder than it looks though. I think another cool thing would be to find a way to have Alex or somebody interview the whole band (we would all submit questions), and that could be a cool feature on the disc as well. I'm just brainstorming though.
Regardless, I think something like this should definitely happen sometime in the future.

Is that release on True Love records in the works or scrapped? I'm really wanting to hear that Wesley Willis song. And more Jawbreaker.
