UNBROKEN REUNION LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKELY


There have been a lot of rumors floating around about an Unbroken reunion show. One rumor is that they will be playing at the Disembodied reunion in Chicago, and the other is that they will be supporting the recently mentioned Swing Kids reunion in California.

Bassist Rob Moran dropped by the Chula Vista Hardcore message board and offered up his take on the whole thing. Check it out.

"Here's the deal:
It may or may not happen, 100% of the money will go to various charities in SD and Chicago if it does happen. Spring 2009.
2 Shows:
One in So.Cal
One in Chicago
No line up has been confirmed

Amazing people that have poured their hearts into a book and a scene have for the first time, made me and others in the band feel that it will be a fun and heartwarming experience for good causes. I am not going to lie, we have been offered huge money to play various fests in the states and abroad over the past 10 yrs and we have ALWAYS said no. We've known the people behind the Chicago show for over 15yrs. They are honest and sincere people, that have nothing but respect for the scene and their communities. It is because of their good intentions, this whole thing has come about

We said the only way we will do it is if :
A:Undertow plays in Chicago as that band was VERY close to us.
B:100% of the money after their expenses goes to charity.

I feel some aspects of hardcore have been lost to antiquity due to bands doing tours for no reason other then their pocket book, here is a chance for some bands from the 90's to come together and have a great time for good causes. This is why we wanted to do a second and more local show as well.

In no way is it living in the past, it's investing in the future of various scenes. Places like the Che or a community center for homeless families…two places among many that will benefit from all this. That is what this is about.

I feel that I've kind of said too much, but due to the amount of BS that has come out over the internet about who, what and why this show may happen, something needed to be said. After this, people can talk all the shit they want. We know our hearts are in the right place and if people can't see that, I don't know what else to say.

This is going to be a great time if it all goes down...

Love,

So there you have it. Keep your fingers crossed and start clearing your schedule for a road trip.
