"Adam from Blackball recently posted some recent happenings on his record label's message board"
JAWBREAKER NEWS
A live version of "Chesterfield King" from CBGB (May 29, 1993) will be on Rock Against Bush Volume 2 on Fat Wreck Chords. Confirmed: Foo Fighters/Green Day/Bad Religion/ Sleater-Kinney/Lawrence Arms.
BLACKBALL NEWS
I plan on releasing other bands on Blackball. They will consist largely of my friends and anyone who I think is good.
The first non-Jawbreaker project is going to be La Plebe. They are an awesome hardcore/ska band from SF's Mission District who sing almost exclusively in Spanish. They are the most exciting live band I've seen in ages. Visit their site for show info: laplebe.com. They will get into the studio hopefully with Lars Frederiksen after he gets back from tour.

WHYSALL LANE NEWS
We have a site, but haven't added content other than an mp3 of "The Way Back."
We played the Fillmore a couple weeks ago with Sleater-Kinney and Quasi. Yes, that's Janet doing double-time in both bands (upwards of 2 hours of drumming per night)! It was great to see them play and also a thrill to play to a captive audience of 1,000. I think we did all right.
Upcoming Shows:
| June 9 | the Fillmore, SF | Opening for Mission of Burma (you have NO IDEA) | |
| June 16 | Bottom Of The Hill, SF | Opening for Challenger (featuring Jessica Hopper!) | |
| June 19 | Huntridge Theater, Las Vegas | Opening for the Ataris (Reeve Oliver also playing) |
