Hello everyone and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back in the week in Punknews. I'm Bryne Yancey and I'll be your guide through some of the juiciest, most popular and otherwise noteworthy stories from the last seven days. Remember, every Punknews story is built from tips from our wonderful, good-looking readers, so get to submitting. Here's what got the strange, slow and old community talking this week:
- Tons more Screeching Weasel fallout this week, as 4/5 of the band resigned, after The Soviettes, Chinese Telephones, Teenage Bottlerocket dropped from Weasel Fest and Ben Weasel himself issued an apology for his actions at SXSW.
- It was revealed that OFF! was arrested in Arizona for stealing vegetable oil for their van en route to SXSW. Will Keith Morris wear a suit and tuck in his dreadlocks for the hearing on April 6? Stay tuned.
- In even more SXSW news, a Death From Above 1979 reunion show in Austin incited a riot
- The Bouncing Souls announced a tour of discography shows
- Fucked Up unveiled a new track from David Comes To Life, "The Other Shoe"
- It was a big week for us here at the 'Org, as we were lucky enough to have Ronen Kauffman join us on the Punknews Podcast. We also premiered a new video from The Gateway District and previewed Mitch Clem's newest project, Turnstyle Comics.
With that, we hand over this Sunday evening to the Punknews community, where anything is possible, from the next amusing-then-overwrought meme, to the creation of bands and message boards, to alienating sports chatter. So talk amongst yourselves and we'll see you Monday morning.
