We Jam Econo released TOMORROW (country, funk, jazz, punk)

jambo · 06-26-2006, 10:05 PM

I've been listening to the Minutemen for years now and last summer I saw a screening of a documentary that took years to finally produce and distribute. This is long winded..."We Jam Econo" dvd will be released June 27, I recomend it to any fans, it has some great acoustic sets!
You can order it on www.theminutemen.com

It's sad that this has fewer replies than the thread about Green Day and the All American Rejects..

I'm definitely getting this. I can't wait to see footage of their shows, and the interviews should be interesting as well.

Yeah, its a real shame people who listen to those bands don't realize what influenced them, and that their influences were a lot better and not corporate punk rock like nowadays. But yeah, in the doc there's a clip of an acoustic version of History Lesson Part 2 that's AMAZING, George Hurley plays bongos.

"Feelin' Like a Gringo" - awesome, man!

Sounds awesome. I have to say, George is my favorite punk drummer, he's tight as f'uck. He's also underappreciated (not surprising considering Boon and Watt's talent), but as a drummer myself I really enjoy him. I'm going to learn some of their songs soon.

I'll get it if I can find it, seeing as I love the Minutemen.

I would get it, As I really enjoy their music, But I highly doubt it will be released here which would mean I would have to import it - Probably from the U.S or U.K - and that would cost me about $90...

Decisions Decisions....

Same country, same problem.

I'm a drummer too, and I never really thought about it but my style is really influenced by Hurley. He took jazz and funk beats and mixed 'em with the conventional punk style...Awesome.

They actually had a hard time getting this distributed, I saw the documentary last summer.
