Murray Attaway still active

A little disappointed that the version of "Always Saturday" I found was in mono, I grubbed around the 'net and stumbled across a reference to Murray Attaway's new band, Bomber City. He's joined by, among others, his former Guadalcanal Diary bandmate Jeff Walls.

Bomber City was originally intended to provide a live outlet for songs that Attaway has written over the last twenty years, both individually and as collaborations with Walls (many of them unreleased). The group’s set list has evolved to include material from Attaway’s 1993 solo album In Thrall (Geffen) along with Guadalcanal Diary-era outtakes, oddities, and the occasional surprise cover. Bomber City also delivers a handful of requisite Guadalcanal Diary faves with augmented instrumentation and fresh new energy.

I haven't been this excited about a resurrected musical favorite since the Effigies. Unfortunately for those of us not in and around Athens, GA, Bomber City appears to be a strictly local outfit for now. I also don't see any recorded material for sale or download, but YouTube has a taste of what the rest of us are missing: a Bomber City version of "In My Book" (from In Thrall).
