Lookout! Records online Reunion shows announced
Show #1 featuring members of The Mr. T Experience, Pansy Division, The Queers, Cub, The Crumbs, The Smugglers – Sunday January 31, 2021
In the spirit of unity, togetherness, community, friendship, good times, and yes, nostalgia, Oceanside Productions announces the first in a monthly online live performance series for 2021 called Lookout Zoomout. The reunions will bring together the singers and songwriters from Lookout Records, the iconic pop-punk record label founded in 1987 by Larry Livermore and David Hayes. Until its demise in 2012, the label had one of the most recognizable logos in the world, and was most notable for bands like Green Day, Operation Ivy, The Donnas, Mr. T Experience, and Screeching Weasel.
“If your band was lucky enough to land on Lookout Records like ours did in the 1990s, it felt like winning the lottery”, states The Smugglers frontman Grant Lawrence, who will lead the conversation between performances. “It was an incredible community of artists, bands, and friends. It didn’t end well, but there were some amazing times and some really, really great records while it lasted.”
The first Lookout Zoomout will occur live on Sunday January 31 at noon PT / 3pm ET and promises to be an interactive experience with fans from around the world. Tickets are available now.
