ACID BATH REUNION? (SHHHH QUIET!)
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 at 10:05am by David Bee RothSo my buddy San Carlos, who comes a long line of depression-era rum-runners and later micro-brewers, was recently in port at Kingston, Jamaica where he got into a rather heated discussion with a polish backpacker over a game of billiards at a shady pub called The Prickhouse (actually Brickhouse, but vandals had recently improved its title). While the original discussion was an argument over the general superiority of Afghan bubble hash versus B.C. hydroponic cannabis, the tensions were soon eased when the Polack began to tell a naughty yarn regarding himself, a Swedish accomplice and a rather sizable number of seasoned Amsterdam prostitutes. While much of that story was lost in translation (San Carlos only communicates through Creole Sign language), the Swede had reported to the Polish gentleman who had passed it on later to San Carlos that one particular prostitute with Pete Steele-esque vampire fang implants had relations in Canada, specifically a sister who had heard from bar tender who had in turn heard from East-side Vancouver street dweller that Sammy Duet (Goatwhore, ex-Acid Bath) had been paraphrased as having said to an interested fan: “If you like Acid Bath, you should try to get to Louisiana next year, but you didn’t hear that from me.”
And you didn’t hear it here first.
Above, check out the video for “Toubabo Koomi,” which is a phrase so filthy, San Carlos refuses to translate it for me. I’m absolutely going crazy for even the possibility of one of the greatest New Orleans scene bands ever reuniting, or maybe I’m just a big bucket of crazy anyway.

Posts like this one are the reason I troll the webz.
…THE RUSSIANS SENT A TANK TO THE MOON|!!!!!!
Well thank god, I was losing sleep over this one.
This iis in my top 5 favorite bands. Their music has an odd addictive quality about it that I love.
Toubabo Koomi, by the way, means The Land Of The White Cannibals.
no matter when or where, if there is an acid bath show next year, i will be there… we’re talkin’ bells beach, australia. the mythic 50 year storm.
I have no problem driving just over a thousand miles to see them whatsoever.
On a side note, what the fuck happened to the upcoming releases section?
Gotta drive down there in October….I will make the trip again for this. Fuck yes I will. This is bong worthy news.
This would be the greatest reuinion ever! NOLA’s sludge/doom masters
Does this mean that Dax Riggs is done writing songs in the Dawson’s Creek vein, then? Your last record sucked, Riggs!
Agreed.
Fuck no it didn’t. That was probably the best album of ‘07.
you guys are fucking retarded…Dax’s solo shit is killer.
I love Acid Bath, but I have to agree with some of these guys… his solo stuff.. was just not that great.
I thought his solo album was fucking great also, not sure what you guys are talking about.
This would be fantastic. Hopefully they will make a long overdue tour out of it.
you’re right, i didn’t hear it hear first…
I’m there. I flew down from Philly to see Eyehategod/Crowbar there a day before Hurricane Gustav hit; if the mighty Acid Bath see fit to rear their ugly heads once more, suffice it to say, I’m draggin’ my ass back down South come hell, high water, or hurricane.
If you ask me I should jump in an acid bath since metalsucks won’t review Ruination or a Higher Place.
that doesnt make any fucking sense
job for a cowboy sucks anyway
So does Born of Osiris.
In fact, being in an acid bath would be better than listening to either.
i’ve heard that dax hates metal and he and sammy refuse to do an acid bath reunion…but stranger things have happened so i’d be more than willing to take the 4 hour trek to see them although they are my 3rd favorite louisiana band
Dax actually only said he was tired of playing metal, and that was years ago.
ive heard the same thing. you know, it reminds me of the fear factory vocalist, who has said he doesnt like metal, just industrial and does it for that purpose. ok, then why are you in a fucking metal band?
This is probably bullshit…I’ve heard that they broke up primarily because they didn’t want to carry on without Audie. I’d be very surprised if they changed their mind about it. If they did a reunion show, it would probably be a private show for friends in N.O. as Dax has done in the past.
Maannnn… I’d fucking jizz my pants at the opportunity to see them. Acid Bath should have never broken up in the first place. I mean, I understand if they wanted to mourn the loss of Audie, he was truly a credit to the band, but they should’ have taken a hiatus, instead of a full blown break up.
Though, if they go further than a reunion show or anything, like making an album, there’s no guarantee they’ll be as good as they used to be. I mean, it’s been over 10 years since they broke up…
holy shit!
when i scrolleld down the page and Acid Bath Reunion peeked from below I about yelled out a big FUCK YEAH!!!
but unfortunally its all bs.
you fuckers
oh well, new goatwhore is the album of the year
Yes….new Goatwhore is excellent.
ohhhh, i’d hate to get my hopes up. Acid Bath has to be the MOST unheard/underrated metal band of all time. if it’s true i may be taking a trip to LA.
I’ll have to get in shape for this one!!!
The Name means land of White cannibals. and as much as i wish it would be true this is a lie. acid bath will never reunite. Dax wants nothing to do with his past and nolonger has any care for metal
dax riggs is a dumbass
The God’s be praised if such an account is true!
