В Портленде пройдет серия мероприятий по случаю выхода новой книги и переиздания альбомов группы Neo Boys

Back in 2013 I was thrilled to host a special Neo Boys celebration night, as K Records was releasing a special 2-LP and CD retrospective of their work including previously unavailable music. Along with the Neo Boys coming in they chose some cool bands to come in with them that night to perform live, who were also playing at a special Neo Boys themed event later that week at the Crystal Ballroom. At that concert a special edition Neo Boys fanzine was being sold with recollections about the band and the times here in early-Punk period Portland. I was honored that it included what I had written about the band for the KBOO site within it. On tonight's program Neo Boy (and former KBOO host) Pat Baum comes in advance of her book release Portland Punk Rock Lyrics 1977-1987 at Music Millennium 07/18/26 at 5PM. Mississippi Records is also releasing a new Neo Boys reissue of their original EP's as one (12") vinyl with also an accompanying 32-page book special edition with interviews with the band by ex-KBOO Program Director and show host Erin Yanke. There will also be a tied in LP release concert at the Black Water Bar with Noxeema and Running In The Shadows (a Neo Boys cover band!) on 07/18 Along with Pat, she has tricked Portland Punk documentarian Mike Lastra to join us to talk about those earlier times, and he's bringing some rare tracks from his archives! - KBOO
