The Queers stage world tour supporting new LP 18 January 2001
Portsmouth, New Hampshire Punk comics The Queers, now in their 19th year, have moved to northern California indie label Lookout! Records from their longtime association with Hopeless. They’re set to release a new album on 20 February titled Today. It follows their 2000 LP Beyond The Valley Of The Assfuckers. Typically performing as either a trio or a four-piece, the band lost their main drummer Hugh O’Neill two years ago when he died at age 41 after battling a brain tumor. They still haven’t announced a permanent replacement, but are ready to begin a world tour early next month in Massachusetts. Core members these days are founder Joe Queer (born Joe King) on vocals and guitar, and Dangerous Dave on bass (who replaced B-Face).
