| _______________________________________ [May 13,2008 12:27am - ThirdKnuckle ""] Thrash pioneers WARGASM reveal 20th Anniversary live plans, DVD release Boston’s legendary Wargasm will be performing live at the Middle East in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Saturday, September 13th as part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the release of their classic “Why Play Around?” album. The show will be recorded for future release as “Why Play Alive!” As with their 2004 reunion, the show is happening in conjunction with Rawkstars, a music education-based non-profit that benefits low income Boston area kids. Tickets can be purchased here: http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/1220722 TartareanDesire.com American editor, Tony Belcher, recently caught up with Wargasm bassist/vocalist Bob Mayo for a rare interview, excerpted below. Belcher: Since Thrash is back in a big way are the planets perhaps aligned for a more than casual reunion of Wargasm? Mayo: We’ll never be a band again in the same way we were from ‘85-‘95, but as long as we’re all still breathing, and we feel that there’s something cool to do, we’ll ‘re-activate’ for this or that project. The 20th anniversary of Why Play Around is a no-brainer—we couldn’t let that go by without celebrating it somehow. So there’s a bunch of Wargasm stuff happening this year. Belcher: What about the band's long-in-the-making live DVD? Mayo: The DVD will definitely be out this summer. I actually just saw some raw footage from it today and it looks great. Beyond the entire ’04 reunion show, we’re including tons of live video from the European/US tours we did, and also the ‘Dreadnaut Day’ video… lots of archival stuff as extras. You can see a teaser for the DVD here: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...=vids.individual&videoID=2023417531 Belcher: What about any previously unreleased recordings? Surely there are some such skeletons in the closet.... Mayo: We have 6 or 7 unfinished recordings that have been sitting around for years, and we’ll be finishing them up sometime soon, as part of the 20th anniversary… Our 2 web sites, http://www.myspace.com/wargasm and http://www.wargasm.org/intro.html are currently being reworked, so those are the best places to stay in touch with everything that’s going on with us this year. Eventually you will be able to get those songs, as well as other merchandise, through those sites. Belcher: Are there additional plans to perhaps have the out of print, hard to find Wargasm back catalog reissued, too? Mayo: We are researching the possibilities there, but we’re not waiting around. For the anniversary of WPA?, we’ve decided to re-release that particular album in a different way: we’re going to do a 20th anniversary show, play the songs from the record in sequence, record the show, and release a live version of the Why Play Around album. The show is scheduled for Saturday, September 13th at the Middle East in Cambridge, Ma. That’s the same venue where we filmed the reunion show for the DVD, and once again the show is being produced & promoted in conjunction with Rawkstars, the music-based non-profit that we partnered with for the reunion show in ’04. So if you weren’t part of audience for the reunion show DVD, come down to this show and be on the “Why Play Alive!” CD.
