The Walking Ruins

living embodiment of bloomington punk

W. Owen: For nearly a decade the Walking Ruins were as close to a Bloomington institution as any punk band ever could be to being an institution of any kind. In short, they kicked massive arse.

Just caught sight of Sparge - er, Barge from the 420 balcony the other day, and he appears to be a daddy now. (Or a stepdaddy or some such, I didn't get a chance to ask him.)

Edited to add: Sparge dropped me an email and he's a dad all right. Mazel tov.

Ed: Here are some links I just came across for “The Walking Ruins,” the great Bloomington punk band. I figured if I waited long enough, I'd be able to find something appearing on the interweb...
