LOOFA DONCHAKNOW! Way back in June you may recall we were pretty breathless in our review A World of Her Own, the exhaustive career retrospective of early 80s syrup city New Wavers the Mydolls. In the aftermath, we were positively starstruck when bassist Dianna Ray wrote us to say thanks for the write up, in a followup she hinted that a reunion show for bands that played the long passed Island club might be taking place over Thanksgiving weekend, and that they were planning on being involved. Sadly, that show doesn’t seem to be in the cards, but leave it to the folks at Noise and Smoke to step in and get the Mydolls back together and on the stage.

YESSSIR, Mydolls will be part of the fine lineup of acts for Noise and Smoke 2008, headed your way Saturday November 15th at Dean’s Credit Clothing and Notsuoh downtown. Condensed over the 2007 format (two clubs on one night rather than two clubs on two nights), this year’s bill is heavier on the punk and lighter on the pop, but still chock full of more scene darlings than two buss-loads of Elaine Greer clones. LIMELIGHT LIST PLEASE: The Born Liars Homopolice, Balaclavas, El Desmadre, Vincent Trails, Patsy, The Takes, B L A C K I E vs Cop Warmth and Teenage Kicks. Check back for more deets as the date arrives. EXORCISM!
