Half-life resurrection

Uranium comeback was supposed to be one those bands that play once in a blue moon, but events conspired to keep them reasonably busy in 2009. With bassist Seiji headed off to Japan it seemed only reasonable to have a going-away gig of sorts.

The band's Marxist contingent: Johnny! Steve! Tim!



Shoutalong action!



Tim in the red.



The non-Marxist portion, Seiji of guillotine and Roll Gypsy Roll.



Steve stretches his neck.



Rhythm section and drinking action!



Faceoff action!



The whole lot!



The ever-glamorous Uranium Comebackettes.



The end!



Nowadays Johnny O is one-half of Big Dick, Steve is doing The Sedatives and his solo stuff (including opening for The Queers at Mavericks February 22) and Tim is of course manning the kit for Mother's Children and playing bass in Year Zero.
