2011's shaping up to be a great year already with awesome shows back to back, and the Menzinger's show with Algernon, Tiger's Jaw, and Glocca Mora is just one of those shows we're psyched to help present! This punky, PA-local pandemonium will likely set a high bar for 2011 shows and you don't want to miss it. So bundle warm, brave the cold, and make you way down to the First Unitarian Church on Jan 23rd for a show that will leave you lost and confused due to its mind-altering fantasticness.
The Menzingers:
Originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album “A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology” in 2006.
Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from “A Lesson” and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.
At the Fest VII in Gainesville, FL they were approached by Brendan Kelly of The Lawrence Arms and subsequently signed to Red Scare Industries.
They released their Red Scare debut EP “Hold On, Dodge” in 2009. They will be recording in January of 2010 for their sophomore LP “Chamberlain Waits.”
The band currently lives in South Philadelphia, PA.
