We always knew that Jay Reatard was full of hate, but it was starting to seem like his Matador deal was cooling him down. After all, since signing with the label, his albums have only become more cool-headed. Sure, he fired his band in a rage, but has since smoothed things over and found a new rhythm section.
It appears that the hate is back on, however, as Reatard seems to be scrapping with New Jersey band Liquor Store. The garage punk outfit, which include former members of Titus Andronicus, allegedly slashed the tires on Reatard's tour van.
On the Terminal Boredom message board, Reatard's Facebook page was quoted as saying: "Little bitches in Liquor Store just stab [sic] my tires! I will kill you." Little else is known about what happened at this point, but Terminal Boredom user stellar-active allegedly spoke with members of Liquor Store, saying, "The story is amazing. It involves freebasing, a disco ball, $50,000 cash, and a chainsaw. I can't spoil it."
Yesterday (January 11), Reatard wrote the following Tweet: "I will give anyone a hundred bucks per tire that they pop on the band Liquor Store's van! Yes I'm serious."
Needless to say, we'll keep you posted, but we have a feeling that there's a lot more to come, or at least a distinct hissing sound.
