How very, very cool. Dean Clean, drummer for the Dead Milkmen<\/a>, is posting his tour diaries<\/a> from the band’s first days of touring back in 1985.<\/p>\n

\n This site contains tour diary entries written by Dean ‘Clean’ Sabatino of the band The Dead Milkmen. We stopped touring back in 1994, but through the magic of modern day computer technology I can tell these stories again.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

I was 23-24 years old when I wrote these diaries. I certainly wasn’t planning on publishing them when I wrote them; so reading them now either makes me laugh, cry or cringe. I will not make any claims to being a gifted writer or diarist, but the aim here is to give the reader some sense of what it was like to tour across the USA in a van with a punk rock band in the mid to late 1980’s. Some say this was the heyday of independent rock music and the college radio scene. I would bet we worked harder and played many more shows than many of today’s ‘alternative’ rock bands will play in their short-lived careers.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
