weblonghere Blog: Screaming Urge at Carabar, 7/16/2011

Back in 2011, legendary Columbus punk band Screaming Urge reunited (supposedly for the last time). On their blog weblonghere, Dave Rine and Shandi Rine recount the evening in detail and with photos. Here's a bit of it:

Screaming Urge played thirty songs that night, an impressive feat for a band half their age.  At one point Ravage invited Don B to the stage and said, “Back in 1978 we were the first band ever to play ‘Batman’ with Don Bovee.”  My friend Paul Weaver leaned into my ear and said, “Even if that’s not true, it’s true now and for the rest of time.”  So there you go, in the official annals of Columbus rock and roll, Screaming Urge was the first band ever to play Batman with Don B, a piece of trivia that not only makes you look like a scene genius but also establishes a direct line of continuity between Screaming Urge in 1978 to all the Bernie’s punks of the 2000’s.  It’s on the internet now, which means you can link to it, which means it’s the god’s honest truth, so there.
