Jonah: basically more awesomer than us.
According to J. Jonah Jenkins, Only Living Witness's reunion show -- news of which was first broken here -- has sold out. For those lucky ticketholders, opening bands for the June 14 gig at MidEast downstairs will be Motherboar, Blacktail, and one more TBA.
For the purposes of the reunion, OLW will be Eric Stevenson (drums), Craig Silverman (guitar), Jonah Jenkins (vocals), and Bob Maloney (bass). Said Jonah on the Noise Board last week:
"We tried to get Chris Crowley in on this (and of course he's still welcome) but he has been way too busy working and traveling to practice...it was a major reason that we waited this long...in addition to folks' health issues, family stuff, and a general lack of time to practice for it. When we started practicing late last year, we hadn't played these songs since 1995, and some we had never played live because we broke up before Innocents was released."
Now the begging begins: Jonah mentions this morning that a bunch of his friends didn't get tix to the June 14 show, and already there's been some Noise Board pleading for a second show. Keep fingers crossed.
