Freddy Madball Releases New Video "Y Qué" / Show at Knitting Factory in February

Freddy Madball has just released the first video from his new solo CD Catholic Guilt. The video was shot by Pablo Menna (Toro Productions) who had shot the "100%" video for Madball.

Pablo has some pictures and a narrative about the shoot posted to his website.

"The production was done in record time because Freddy was on tour with Madball and only would be in São Paulo for a few hours. Due to the delay of the flight from Santiago, we had just over 30 minutes to shoot on location. We chose a Cuban restaurant in Pinheiros, where the scenery and the dominoes, cigars, rum and beer went together perfectly with the music. In addition to the footage we produced on that day, the video has scenes from old school gangters films, several photos of the singer's personal archive and pictures of details of the location (by Luiz Trezeta)."

Freddy and DJ Stress are playing a Valentine's Day show with Ill Bill at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. Tickets are $16 and the show starts at 7:30PM

Agnostic Front - "Victim In Pain" (1984) Lineup Reunites for 25th Anniversary Show at The Bell House

Agnostic Front's 1984 / Victim In Pain lineup is reuniting for one show at The Bell House on February 26th. This show is all ages; tickets are $15 and doors are at 8PM.

Roger Miret, Vinny Stigma, Rob Kabula and Dave Jones haven't played together since 1984. “This is the CLASSIC lineup together again doing vintage AF songs and some classics. We couldn’t be more excited to do this!” said vocalist Roger Miret.

To help Agnostic Front commemorate the 25th anniversary since the original release of Victim In Pain, Bridge Nine Records has put together a proper reissue. Victim In Pain has been given extra special treatment, with a gatefold LP cover, complete with a dirty gold metallic ink with an embossed logo & title. The gatefold opens up to the original handwritten layout of the first pressing, and later censored original cover is printed full size on the front and back of the dust sleeve.

Bridge Nine Records has also reissued Agnostic Front's 1983 debut EP "United Blood" which has a similar metallic ink & embossed logo front cover and also has the original cover design printed in black and white on the enclosed dust jacket.
