PEEP reunion! 12/23/11hey beautiful humans... This email is mostly to let you know that PEEP, the first band i was in when i came to Chicago, will be playing a one time only 15 year reunion show on Fri Dec 23rd. That was before the internet, y'all!! PEEP taught me a lot. how to write these little missives to the folks at home, about the rock scene in a major city, about tenacity, being who you were - warts and all, and tons about love and friendship... This will be a special night that will not be repeated. FRI DEC 23... PEEP... the 15 year reunion show! @ REGGIES' Music Joint * 2109 S. State street * Chicago, IL w/Forty Piece Choir & The Last Dark Show * 21+ * $10 Have you seen the lost children of Pixies, Joy Division, The Doors, and Roy Orbison? Do you remember crowds in clown face, and a band that could inspire the late great Wesley Willis to pen the ode "Peep Can Rock, Peep Can Roll"? Do you miss The Avalon, Thurston's, and the days before Wicker Park was eaten alive by hype? Then this 90s Nightmare Before Christmas Eve is for you! Peep, a Chicago alternative band that existed in various forms from 1992-1996, and released two independent EPs, Ghost Circus [Mockingbird, 1994] and A Carbon Experiment? [Mockingbird, 1995], will perform together live for the first time in 15 years. The occasion that reunites singer Jeff Rawwin, guitarist Jason Kunesh, drummer Barry Bennett, and bassist Derek Wu is the memory of original Peep bassist, Fabian Guerra. Guerra, who was with the band from 1994-1996 and supplied bass on both EPs, died in a car accident in June 2009. He is survived by his wife and two children. joining PEEP for the night will be FORTY PIECE CHOIR and THE LAST DARK SHOW... about venue listen to the once mighty peep oh, yeah, and you can listen to those barry bennett sounds at...
