Weird Royal Trux Reformation
There's a gig scheduled in December where they'll be playing Twin Infinitives in full, but it's just Neil Hagerty and three kids.

so, it is a reformation or reincarnation of Trux
there's me, a singer who was just recently living in her car in venice beach, a guy who does electronics & keyboards, and a stoner dude from the south who plays guitar. It is uncanny how exactly each person matches the other members of the 1988 lineup of royal trux-- I can't replace myself unfortunately just because I need to arrange the music.
We're going to perform "Twin Infinitives" live from start to finish once at this show and that's gonna be it, a one time thing. And it only captures that 1988- 1989 era, not the later things.

I just spoke with Neil and the "Royal Trux" show will be insane (more like beatlemania styles)..... he has various kids playing the parts of the trux line-up at the time of twin infinitives....young girl that is huge fan will be playing my part and another young kid playing the part of the dude anil that played drum machines...the only reason neil is actually playing instead of just directing is that the kids are way too scared without him. I think the show should be really amazing but i told him it was fucked that he dint talk to me about it ....it's all good now and the show should be sick...i told him i wanted him to do press to set the context correct. just thought i'd let yall know what's up. :p xxxJJ
Trust em to not do it in a vaguely normal way eh.
