Sludgeworth reunites for Riot Fest

As if the lineup wasn’t already pretty rock solid, this year’s Riot Fest has another thing going in its favor; the reuniting of Sludgeworth for the show! For those who may not know, Sludgeworth were local legends from the late 1980’s that featured someone from Screeching Weasel in the band. I always thought they were better than Screeching Weasel (a band I never really cared for). They put out a pair of singles and one LP before calling it quits. Now they’ll be playing at Riot Fest and having seen their last reunion quite a few years ago (maybe ten?), I can tell you it is going to be good.

Here’s the lineup for this year’s Riot Fest:

Saturday, November 17
Riot Fest 2007 – Day One Congress Theatre (2135 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, Illinois)

Naked Raygun
Stiff Little Fingers
