Spring Heeled Jack to play reunion show
Monday, February 1st, 2010
“SPRING HEELED JACK IS BACK.” These words were posted by Pete “JR” Wasilewski (Less Than Jake) on his blog (JR’S BLAHG). After posting a brief history of the third-wave ska band from New Haven, CT, JR goes on to say that Spring Heeled Jack has a reunion show (or two) in the works for this year and they are currently beginning the booking process. To celebrate this occasion, the band is re-releasing both of their albums, Static World View and Songs From Suburbia, on vinyl via Asbestos Records.
Spring Heeled Jack features members that have played in The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, and the Pilfers. The band broke up in 2000 and played a benefit reunion show in 2002 to raise money for a scholarship fund in the name of their late drummer Dave Karcich.
