Very underrated bassist, and an awesome band. Glad they're back, can't wait to watch this dude shred tonight.

It should be great. Too bad they didn't schedule any shows in the west over here, or I'd be seeing them for sure. Jason Black is one of my favorite punk bassists.

I saw them in Gainesville around 95-96, when they were just a local, small-time band. I thought they were pretty good.

When I saw them a couple years ago I thought he played an SB-2, but he's got both a JB-2 and an ASAT according to G&L's artist list.

Time to resurrect a thread. Apparently HWM is playing a show in San Diego a day before my birthday with Unwritten Law and the Vandals. Definitely going to go to that one. Closest they've come to LA so far was some outdoor fest in Irvine. I don't like outdoor punk concerts all that much so didn't go.

Between this and the Paint it Black / Leatherface show in Los Angeles, May is going to be an AWESOME month for me.

Didn't they break up again? The onagain/offagain thing is really confusing.

I've been wondering about what he was using. The front page pic on HotWaterMusic.com shows him with an Aerodyne. Some YouTube videos from the release party for "The New What Next" in '04 also have him playing an Aerodyne, and it sounds more like a P than his older ASAT tone on a lot of TNWN. His aggressive, grindy tone with the ASATs is absolutely one of the most killer tones I've ever heard!

Yeah. He mostly plays that Aerodyne.

They are going to be in Phoenix May 2nd. I have my own show that day. Looks like I am leaving shortly after out set. I hope it works out.

I don't think they did. They're still playing shows currently. They never explained the break up the first time, which was supposed to be a hiatus because Chuck wanted to spend more time with his family. Somehow it concluded with a break up and Chuck lives in Los Angeles currently.

I had a friend who toured as a tech for them for a while so whenever we were playing in Gainesville we used their practice space. Got to hang out a few times back stage. the brutal growling bass tone he got out of those G&Ls inspired me to buy my own.
