Nice. it's about time. It's good to hear that they're playing more shows than chaos in tejas. I read a local dc interview with Tonie Joy a while back and i believe he stated the opposite. The blogged and quartered site put up a nice Moss Icon live set and other stuff up a while back, worth checking out. Now, someone just has to put out a greyhouse discography!

I wish TRR would take over the Hated discography as well, although supposedly someone new has taken it over.

colin from the hated posts on collective zine occasionally. he posted this a couple of months back....

OK, it's looking like a May 2012 release for a huge fuck-off boxset and a simple 2-cd set -- the 2-cd is planned to be affordable, $20 or so. Negotiating paperwork now (this is primarily a reissue label that has worked with artists who have been absurdly exploited by other record companies in the past, so they do everything very correctly -- which is fine by me) and I will tell y'all who it is when things are signed. (Nobody has guessed the label yet.)

In the mid-late 1980s, Moss Icon pioneered a progressive, highly emotive sound that stood in stark contrast to just about everything even remotely considered punk-rock at the time. In retrospect, they more resembled an inspired marriage of the bleak post-punk leanings of Joy Division with the raucous riffage of the Wipers, albeit considerably less accessible thanks to Moss Icon's more sinister tone, exploratory arrangements, and frontman Jonathan Vance's almost stream-of-conscious sociopolitical rampages. In the decades since Moss Icon's disbandment, bootlegged t-shirts and patches have been easier to come by than actual recordings, and the Internet is filled with misconceptions and misinformation, incidentally lending an enigmatic, almost mythical status to the band. Rather than attempt to pull back the curtain, this collection - compiling the group's entire official catalog - serves to permanently document the very important contributions of one very important group from a very formative era of underground music.

** now just waiting on the SWIZ discography and HWM Live in Chicago 3xLP. be sure to write your congressman to get me a raise.
