After the fall of The Elks, the breakup of Stickman, and the inevitable moving-away-to-college for the original crew, the shows had come to an end. ...or HAD THEY?

No. They hadn't. Thanks to the fortitude, compassion and impatience of three teenage girls, who made the decision to keep the scene alive while crammed in the cab of a pickup truck on their way back from a show in Huron. In this episode, we hear from Amber and Arin, as well as Devin (from Huron), and Matt Boyd, who had fortuitously found himself the adult of the group. And don't forget about your host, Ocho! (Or do. I understand that's part of life).

Montgomery Burns were a three-piece pop punk band from central Pennsylvania. Formed in 1995, with the plan of staying together for one year, they self-released a 7" EP and a split 7" before booking a three-week summer tour in a van with faulty brakes which took them as far as Colorado & Wyoming.

As planned, the band ended at the culmination of that tour. They were also one of the first touring bands to come through Pierre. They played at the Elks Lodge on May 23, 1996, on the last day of school. One of their fondest memories of tour is eating pancakes at Boo's house the morning after their Pierre show. They played at Dillinger Four House in Minneapolis the day before, and in Rapid City with Stickman the day after.

Singer/bassist Mark moved to Chicago to do punk rock stuff, drummer Scott moved to Florida to be a journalist, guitarist Joey stayed in PA and finished college. Each of them continued to play in bands. Scott & Joey currently live in California; Mark passed away from cancer on March 10, 2021.

Their final show was Monday June 3rd 1996 in Olney Illinois.
