That's right - Swami John Reis announced via Instagram last night that your favorite off-kilter clique, Gary Wilson and the Blind Dates, are now officially participating in his Hardcore Matinee. This remarkable one-off theatrical event will celebrate the release of Swami Records' new compilation bearing the same name, and will go down at Bar Pink on Sunday, May 15. Besides bringing wild and weird pageantry to the people, it also benefits the Museum School of San Diego's music education program.
