Michael Knott has been posting about an upcoming reunion live show for the Aunt Bettys. The word so far is that it will be September 14th at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa, California at 10:30 PM. It is also a free show according to Michael (probably just have to show up real early). All the original members will be playing. Good times!

Intense Millennium Records is a new label that purchased the entire catalog of the Frontline Music Group – which includes many older Michael Knott releases. They plan on re-issuing about 2 albums per month with updated graphics and bonus tracks. There is nothing firm on anything Knott-related, but some online ads have Michael Knott listed among the bands to be re-issued. So go to their Facebook page and request Michael Knott.
