posted by RichmanVA
Neil Hennessy is quickly becoming the Aaron Cometbus of Chicago by joining yet another band. The reunited Smoking Popes have announced that Hennessy will be “hitting the skins” (sorry, couldn’t help myself) for them on their upcoming tour. Said the band: “We’ve been playing together for the past couple of weeks gearing up for a summer of rock. First up, a record release show for “Stay Down” at Metro on June 7th, then the album will hit stores on June 17th. After the album is out, we’re planning on hitting the road. The plans are coming together at the moment and we’ll keep you posted…”
As Punknews.org pointed out: “Neil has performed in The Lawrence Arms, The Falcon, Baxter, The Killing Tree and also co-wrote the Rise Against hit, “Swing Life Away.” They forgot to mention that he also played in Colossal and Sundowner.
