Show Notes: tulrich.com: "...Playing a basement party outside Milwaukee with Green Day."

Aaron Cometbus: "Drove up to the club [The Unicorn] after show had already ended. Ad-hoc basement gig better than any show. Went through Blatz dumpster the next morning."

Duwayne Koerner: "Remember them being late from Minnesota and having Gus at the Unicorn say 'no show' - then an impromptu show at Grant's basement. Aaron Cometbus drank all Grant's dad's beer. Poor Leonard Kasten."

Cory von Bohlen: "They played Grant's house in '90 after The A.G.'s played two sets at the Unicorn, because Aaron Cometbus claimed directions from Dwayne were bad and they were hella late. 'No you can't play. You're fucking late!' - Gus."

Senator Dingdong: "And that would have to be Grant Kastens' basement. I saw them on the Slappy tour at Grant's house in Germantown because Gus wouldn't open the Unicorn to let them play for the 17 of us and my future girlfriend that set it up."

gdtourvan1990: "Saturday July 7: Today we packed up and got ready to drive to Milwaukee WI for a show at the Unicorn. Has anyone seen Sean? The last time we saw Sean he was wandering off with that girl with the funny name. We looked and looked. People called their friends. No one could find him. I don’t recall any discussion of leaving town without him, but as soon as he rolled up we were out of there. Wisconsin is a funny place. Ride the Ducks? Why was #aaroncometbus standing on the side of the road? But you can sure see the results of the hair dye session at the Varsity Theater. Just before we arrived in Milwaukee we ran out of gas and had to sit on the side of the freeway while Sean rode off with a cop to fill a gas can. When we finally got in to town we couldn’t find the show! We drove around and around. We pulled up to a #payphone and while John was calling the promoter someone heard a band playing. It turns out we were right around the corner. Too late, the show had just ended and the club was clearing out. But the kids were great and the band was invited to play a show that night in a basement in Germantown, not far away. Too bad about the Unicorn. Another legendary midwest punk venue and LGBT social scene gone. Replaced by boring condos."

Sean Hughes: "I honestly don’t remember but my apologies for keeping you and thanks for waiting. I went on several years later to ride the Ducks at the Wisconsin Dells."

Opening Band(s): The A.G.'s
