4 soul asylum videos are now on my <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thecosmiccircus" target="_self">myspace page</a>- 1 - Somebody to Shove - 2- I will still be laughing - ( with steven wright ) 3- Just Like Anyone ( with a young Claire Danes) 4- black gold ( with Norm from cheers ) .................................................. ......................... REMEMBER - SOUL ASYLUM will be LIVE in Wash DC at the 9:30 Club on March 17! (with the english beat)see ya there. .................................................. ............................... Pegged for years as the most underrated live band in the U.S., Soul Asylum worked their trademark sound -- a messy, melodic blend of Punk rock and '70s album-oriented radio -- on the club circuit for years. Their rise to fame was a long time coming, and their decline from that high perch came a lot quicker. Formed in Minneapolis, Minn., in 1981, the group -- originally named Loud Fast Rules -- soon changed their name to Soul Asylum, and began to release records on the famed indie label Twin Tone. The group recorded a number of LPs for Twin Tone until they were signed by A&M Records. Their work with A&M fell short of the label's sales expectations, and it wasn't until the group signed to Columbia and released Grave Dancers Union in 1993 that they started to find the national fame for which they had so long worked. The band's hit singles -- "Someone to Shove," "Runaway Train," and "Misery" -- rode the pop charts for a brief window, but were somewhat overshadowed by lead vocalist Dave Pirner's relationship with actor Winona Ryder. WELCOME TO SOUL ASYLUM 101: New Studio Album Slated For Spring 2006 Release Soul Asylum, who helped shape the newly emerging contours of college radio alt-rock in the 80s before becoming Grammy-winning multi-platinum superstars in the 90s, will celebrate the band's third rockin' decade with a brand-new studio album - slated for release in spring 2006. The Soul Asylum line-up for the recent Bowery Ballroom show included group founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy with an extraordinarily simpatico rhythm section: former Replacement Tommy Stinson on bass (standing in for the late great Karl Mueller) and legendary Minneapolis drummer Michael Bland (whose resume runs from Prince and Paul Westerberg to the Dixie Chicks and his own band Sons of Almighty). From teenage garage band to indie icons on the cover of the Rolling Stone, from the 7th Street Entry to the Bill Clinton Inauguration, from Twin Tone to the majors, Soul Asylum has seen a lot of changes, but through it all, this is one band that just keeps rocking................................................... .................................................. ....................Soul Asylum are set to release their first album in eight years and first since the death of bassist Karl Mueller, who succumbed to throat cancer last June. The album, entitled Silver Lining, is due out June 13 via Columbia/Legacy Recordings.Their first show back will be at the 9:30 club in DC on MArch 17 w/ the english beat - "I'm really proud of this record," says <a href="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/posttopic.cfm/Forum/#" target="_blank">guitarist</a> Dan Murphy ( who also plays with Golden Smog with members of WILCO and the JAYHAWKS) on the band's official website.

A few weeks ago someone started a thread about coincidences and how
freaky they can be.  This is a perfect example.  For no
particular reason today I wondered "whatever happened to Soul
Asylum?"  I didn't hear an old tune of theirs on the radio or
anything, they just popped into my mind for some reason.  Now
Perry posts this. Too weird.

That prom gig was June 28 1997.  Grand Rapids - AFTER THE FLOOD. They DID play in oct of 05 at the 7th ST Entry in Minn and they did a gig a few daze later in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom.I meant - this is first show since finishing recording "silver lining" to promote the new cd. Im pretty sure those are the only 2 gigs Soul Asylum have played in years. Dave Pirner (or as I like to call him - GOD)  did a solo album a few years ago and I caught that tour - it was ok. Good tunes - but not SOUL ASYLUMy enuff for me.

So, unrelated to anything except odd things that happen - today two different songs came up on my lil iPod with the phrase "Salad Days" in the lyrics, and neither of them was Minor Threat. I kept hoping for a trio, but it was not meant to be, and can not be taken seriously - one more omen to igore that I should eat better. ANYWAY - I've actually been listening to a lot of Soul Asylum and Husker Du lately - a lot of the older stuff with both, since I didn't really get into them until the late 80s. kind of sick how good all of those bands (throwing in Replacements too) were .

Their new bass player is Tommy Stinson who is currently playing on the new Guns & Roses CD but more impressive - h e is one of the founding members of THE REPLACEMENTS.God fucking dammit.Tommy and Paul need to stop being such babies and make the fuck up.  I've got nothing against Soul Asylum, but the only band Tommy should be helping reform at this point is The Replacements.

Dirtybird12

03-09-2006, 05:30 AM

I hear ya Mojo. But I dunno - maybe it's better they dont get back together and ruin their legacy. However it almost DID happen a few months ago. From the sounds of Paul - its not out of the question. .................................................. ....AP: Did you see Tommy (Stinson, former Replacements bassist who now plays for Guns N' Roses) when he was in town?Westerberg: No, no. (laughs) We exchange messages. It's like our last flurry was, I think that, I spoke to him through an old friend. What I did is I tried to get the band together to play a benefit (for Soul Asylum bassist Karl Mueller, who's recovering from throat cancer) and needless to say not all three members were willing or had time.AP: Could it still come off?Westerberg: Anything's possible, but I don't see it happening right now. You know, I've dreamt about it, thought about, I mean, literally dreamt about it, where I woke up in a cold sweat.AP: How do you think it would go? Would it be a disaster?Westerberg: It would be wondrous disaster. I think we'd all retain what we had to begin with, and it would be a blast. It would be a lot of hard work, I think mostly for me, to go back and relearn the songs and the words. ... A little bit easier for them, maybe, to kind of just thumb along................................................... ............................................. It was The Replacements who got Soul Asylum signed to their first contract in 82 I believe. That whole Minn scene grew up together in the early 80s was just insane.  (the original seattle) Tommy has a great fucking solo album out called <a href="http://www.tommystinson.com/" target="_self">VILLAGE GORILLA HEAD</a>. Rolling Stone called it "a stunning achievment" I have yet to read a negative review. I am starting to think Tommy may have been the brains behind The Replacements. I only say this because of his talent. REAL talent that I am just NOW discovering.  Him & Paul working together today? Could be great. I hate to think of Tommy playing with Guns. At least w/ soul asylum they are all childhood buddies and it's kinda like family.  How can he work with AXL and NOT paul? is paul wose to work with?

That's good to see those Paul quotes, Perry.  A couple years ago, Paul slammed Tommy in an interview for playing with Guns, and Tommy responded by flat-out saying that the Replacements would never reform with him.  Glad to hear that that sounds like both realized how pointless a feud like that would be...And yeah, Tommy's solo disc was pretty damn good.  And so have Paul's last few albums/tours.  Makes me think a Replacements reuinion would still kick a ton of ass.

Too weird. Here too.  On Sunday, my 16 year old sister was burning some songs from my computer and asked my about which songs I liked from Gravedancers Union.  It was the only album that she asked my opinion about.  I told her that I liked Black Gold, Somebody to Shove, and Without A Trace.

our buddy jerry from mars claims to have writte runaway train and sunmaid from grave dancers - that whole album is a solid rock & roll album - with the exception of the over played "train' - which is/was a good song - just got played too much. I think it won some sort of grammy in 94. again  - my 2 must have at all time soul asylum cds are Hang Time and..."and the horse they rode in on" (produced by former david letterman drummer Steve Jordan)

Wow, I cannot stand that fucking album...granted, I never was a huge SA fan, but that was the only album (cassette, actually) of theirs I remember buying and then tossing it out a few weeks later.  If Jerry wants credit for it, he can have it.

I hear that show starts at 7:30 am - but now im reading soul asylum wont play until noon.  How long is the damn kegs & eggs thing? I live about 2 hrs from DC now - so I may go down early - get a room - so I can crash before the night gig. I'd like to tho. <a href="http://www.kegbus.com/events.php?event=50&osCsid=5934b70891cabfb2e28b8254ef9f3185" target="_self">check this out - </a>are you going?Ive never been to lulus. im cluesless. big even? lots of people?

Thats great man- hopefully we can get a little crew showing up there from here. I need to nail down a time for their Lulus gig earlier in the day. Its funny - English Beat is one of Cherrys fave bands so she is really excited about going. She wont be making the Kegs & Eggs show but she will be at the 9:30. I always get down there early for soul asylum so I can stalk pirner and hang out with the band. their last gig in 98 i think - right before "candy" came out - I was sitting in my car around 4pm - 6 hours before showtime with a cooler full or beer and some other party treats - we took some pics and he signed my copy of HORSE - but he had no interest in talking about the band- so we talked about the new 9:30 . this was their first gig at the new 9:30.  man, i can bore people with this talk. can u tell I dig em? Im like a school girl with this band. pathetic. anyway - I first saw them by accident.  We went to see living color at the old 9:30 right before they hit.  THEY opened for soul asylum! We stuck around and the place went nuts. Bassis Karl helped me on stage because like a dumb ass - I was up front with crutches and a cast on my leg.  SO I got to sit on stage next to Karl who fed me rolling rocks all night and kept acting as if he was going to stomp on my leg. that show changed my life. - gave up drums and bought a guitar.  It was so full of energy. If anyone has seen them from back then you know what I mean.
