Album Notes

From Aurore Press Recordings, a live CD from "A Jockey Club Reunion '08: A Tribute to Shorty" recorded on November 22, 2008 at the Southgate House in Newport, KY.

The CD features the best of the bands who performed that night including The Thangs, The Libertines US, SS-20, BPA and The Reduced. Plus live spoken performances from the people who were there! A portion of the proceeds will benefit Cincinnati music legend, "Handsome" Clem Carpenter and his Family.

Review from Cincinnati CityBeat:
The folks at local independent publisher Aurore Press have done more than almost anyone to keep alive the legend of The Jockey Club, the ’80s Punk Rock venue in Newport that put the allegedly behind-the-times Cincinnati on the Punk map and helped foster a strong local Punk scene that lives on to this day.

First, Aurore released Stories for Shorty (which is at the end of its print run and won’t be reissued, so grab one quick at aurorepress.com), a collection of recollections from the club’s regulars. That prompted a “reunion” show at the Southgate House, featuring JC regulars like SS-20, The Libertines US (pictured), BPA, The Thangs and The Reduced. Those sets were recorded and excerpts are now available on the CD, A Jockey Club Reunion: Live at the Southgate House.

The show (and CD) is a benefit for “Handsome” Clem Carpenter, the Jockey Club's defacto “Master of Ceremonies” and a pioneering Punk radio broadcaster on WAIF.
