DISCUSSION for Snokel
By: Snerkel on 07-30-08 for Snokel:
everything Kiry says is true, except the bit about SubPop. He got that one backwards - THEY had the balls to turn US down for a seven inch. Pussies.
But here: the reunion is on, nailed down, no more rescheduling:
September 20th, Louie's Pub (on North).
UFO Dictator anniversary show
Snorkel Reunion, all four original members. Come see how gracefully we've aged. If the weather holds it'll be outside. If the weather sucks it'll be indoors, and there'll be room for like twelve people. Ergo: if it rains, come early.
Remember that tripped out movie you saw when you were a teenager, the one with all the drug references, jump cuts, and weird camera angles? It was so fucking awesome. Then you saw it again as an adult, and, ah man, you sort of wished you hadn't. Not that it was terrible, it's just that that shit was so much cooler before you knew anything about anything.
This show will probably be a little bit like that.
Hail Satan,
Snorkel

Snorkel (1992 - 1995)
I saw Snorkel a dozen times and can still hum "I never should've got that tattoo" and "get the fuck off the stage" by wrote. Their bass player lent me his amp on night at Harvey's, which was kind. I'm 90% sure I still have my Snorkel t-shirt which I proudly bought. It has a picture of a man helping a young boy off with his pants. As a father of two now, I think I will leave the shirt in my memory box.
This page is a cut-n-paste job from their Myspace page, so if anyone wants to write something and send it on, we'll put it up.
snorkel was a kalamazoo staple of the early nineties. the shows were noted for drug use, simulated sex acts, and full frontal nudity. all the songs were about sex terrors. the members of snorkel have aged into distinguished gentlemen, and we all agree that if resin mattress can have a goddamned myspace page, then we can too.
Here's their myspace page, some of the flyers and photos are pretty funny.

Yup, that's some shitty coding alright...
Actually, its some bad downloading. I can't get any of the other songs to download... I've tried Firefox and Safari, and then IE on my Vista computer. Can someone, maybe even a Snorkel guy, send me the MP3's at cool @ leons temple . com? I'll post them.
In the interim, you can listen to the songs at their myspace page: HERE
