Das Damen at Princeton University (04-06-1991)

On April 6th, 1991, Das Damen performed at Princeton University. This show occurred around the end of the band’s original run. They would go on to release a “mini-set” entitled High Anxiety in July 1991 before disbanding later that year.

Last year, the band reunited for a series of gigs, which carried over into 2024. In the fall of 2023, they released 1986: Keeps Me Wild, via Dromedary Records. 1986: Keeps Me Wild is a reissue of Das Damen’s debut EP that has been “Newly remastered and augmented with an array of previously unreleased demos, reimagined tracks, and a brand-new issue of Das Damen drummer Lyle Hysen’s legendary fanzine, Damaged Goods (featuring a comprehensive timeline, show flyers, oral history, testimonials from Thurston Moore, Tom Scharpling, and more).”

Could there be more shows on the horizon? We’ll see!
