Koifish reports in his review of last Friday's Fishbone Key club show that Dirty Walt sang backup during the second half of the show. With earlier reports of Norwood talking with former original members, the perspective of a reunion is less and less a wild dream.

Make some 'reum' for the Inspector Cluzo
Fri, Dec 21st 2007, 16 years ago by Denis
