Remember the Dead Schembechlers?
Well, they’re still around. (Above photo of the band’s new album, courtesy of its Web site.)
As a brief reminder, this is the pro-Ohio State punk band that gained headlines for using the name of former Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler in its name. It got even more press on the 2006 day Schembechler died the day before Ohio State played Michigan. The band announced it would change its name.
But, the members did it in graceful Dead Schembechlers style:
On New Year’s Day 2007, they announced that their new name would be The Bastard Sons of Woody and that they are direct genetic descendents of Woody Hayes himself. Apparently the group members were the product of radical scientific experimentation with DNA manipulation, cell altercation and gene splicing transmogrification. They were each born in a test tube as part of a renegade off campus OSU lab experiment.
As the story goes on the band’s Web site, lead singer Bo Biafra was put into a mental asylum a few months after Ohio State lost the national championship game to Florida.
But all was not lost.
Then on September 10th 2008 the band dropped the bombshell that they would reform as the Dead Schembechlers with a new record and multiple Hate Michigan Rally appearances. Shockingly, the first salvo fired by the rejuvenated group was not at Michigan but at USC with their single “USC Don’t Mean Nuthin’ to Me” …
The band even has a new album out, and it’s updated. It’s called “Rodriguez to Ruin,” and it includes songs like “O-H-I-O,” “Rodriguez is A Weasel,” “You Lost to Appalachian State” and “I’m So Bored with the SEC.”
