the problem with bands reuniting is that they all do it for one reason and one reason only. money. i’m sure i would like the show only because i’m blind and couldn’t see the grey hairs on those guys. the last old band i watched was doa. it was ok nothing special.

HA HA HA HA HA! Well, they played here (London) but ironically I had to write a review of another gig so could not go. The other band was “MC5″!!!!!!

I was in the pit at this show, and it was both a great show and a great pit. If there were frat boys or skins, they weren’t there with the express intention of effing someone up. It was just a rowdy good time and NA played some furious hardcore.

And as for intentions behind all the reunions, yeah, they couldn’t have been more honest. It was a charity event to celebrate a great label’s place in history. That whole Saturday was so good it gives me shivers to remember.

Huh, were any of you there?

It was actually pretty damn good. I hate reunions as well, in most cases, but you really should have experienced it before you can judge it. It was good.

And, I watched the pit, and it was filled with old fans, and new fans. And, it was a pretty traditional hard-core circle pit, which impressed me, since everybody moshes nowadays.

Oh, and by the way, this wasn't a reunion show per se. It was a celebration of Touch and Go Records 25th anniversary, and it was a charity event. Most of the bands present only reformed to honor the label and help the kids.

jesusfuckingchrist this sucks! saw na a couple of times in 82 and 83. au contraire to what you normally read they weren't that good. like you said in that dvd review: they had a gang of extremely dumb mini-jocks following them around and these guys ruined more than one show for me.

great blog! haven't seen so much good music in one and the same blog!!

Easy Action is nice, just like the Hyenas was nice. NA were the shit but you’re rght it’s over and out. Today HC is something that makes me ashamed of my past rather than being proud on it.

Easy Action is more Detroit rock (Stooges…) than hardcore, but Brannon’s vocals remain similar, and I hear they play NA covers live.

easy action any good?

brannon’s got a good voice still but it alll looks very false. it’s a pose.
