Yeah, they were at Summerfest in Milwaukee, too. And I missed them 'cause the Rhythm and Booms fireworks were rescheduled.

Seeing them here at Irving Plaza in early August. Not planning on buying the new album though, so hopefully they'll play some old stuff.

You should pick up the new CD, it's awesome. Everyone should run out and get a copy. It's one of their best.

Is the drummer that was playing with them last night, their official drummer?

here's the word from their website - http://www.soulasylum.com

The re-emergence of the group on THE SILVER LINING is as much a reaffirmation of Soul Asylum’s commitment to the music as it is a dedication to Karl, who worked and played on the album right up until the end. They were joined in the studio by not-so-new heavyweight Minneapolis drummer Michael Bland (who has played with everyone from Paul Westerberg to Prince). The band is now complemented by Tommy Stinson on bass, a member of fellow Twin Cities band the Replacements since age 13, and a pal of Dan’s since he was in high school and Tommy in junior high. Tommy was the only friend that Karl could endorse to replace himself in the band. This hard-driving lineup was introduced for the first time in October 2005, when they played sold-out showcase dates at First Avenue in Minneapolis and the Bowery Ballroom in New York within three days.
