An Unconscious Christmas

No good deed goes unpublished and no good plan goes as... well, planned. I intentionally booked a DJ spin on Xmas night, because I'd asked around and heard that none of the old Christmas warriors (the Unconscious, the Urge, Fragile Porcelain Mice, etc.) were planning any type of Yule get-together. Proving that the best laid plans are something or another, that first mentioned group, the Unconscious, are, indeed, playing a loose reunion gig at the Atomic Cowboy on Christmas, with the club open from 9 p.m.-3 a.m. Here's hoping there's a late, late, late show, for those of us who'd like to be there but won't. Because, say, a band member said there'd be no show.

For those of you remembering the group's classic blend of rocky funkiness, please report in with your first-hand accounts, thanks.
