AUGUnbroken Reunion Show Update
Posted by Michael on Wednesday 20th August, 2008
Unbroken bassist Rob Moran chimed in on the rumors of an Unbroken reunion show.
Here is what he had to say in regards to the issue:
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,
