Two Legs Bad @twolegsbadsd capture the rehearsals, soundcheck, behind-the-scenes moments, and interviews with Swing Kids in the days and hours leading up to their reunion show at The Casbah on 3.30.25, celebrating John Brady’s 50th birthday. To view the full documentary please check out the Two Legs Bag YouTube channel, or the link in their bio.
The show marks the first time they’ve played together in years — though no one seems to remember exactly how long it’s been.
Featuring archival nods and a heartfelt tribute to founding member, Eric Allen, this film documents a rare return from one of San Diego’s underground bands.

Tour was crazy. Yall showed mad love n we thank every single one of you who came out or stuck around for the set 🤎 Big love to everyone who came out to see us again n to the people who came out for the first time 🌎⭐️ Also big ol shout out to @twolegsbadsd for getting this sick ass video of us in Austin, TX 🤎
Got the opportunity to go on the road with @wavves . Somehow still sober, full and thankful. It’s been a pleasure sharing a van with these guys.
Felt compelled to share a full performance piece because in a haze of hilarious road debauchery and side quests, the band’s live performance is still the nectar at the center. Here they perform ‘Spun’, off their new album of the same name at @warsawconcerts in Brooklyn.
Shoutout @gregsettino for helping me with the additional angle.
See them tomorrow in San Diego or the following day in L.A.

Earth exit, lickety-spit with no permit to throw a fit.
Earth exit, sans transmit.
Lickety-spit to hock shit.
No permit, so just quit.
Throw a fit with zilch wit.
Mars lifestyle laps up bile.
Rank and pile, stars get on trial.
Die a while with exile.
Falls out of style.
Shit hostile, butt stockpile.
Calls meanwhile, vote Senile.
Get more vile.
Don’t admit, cry a bit and just lose it ya hypocrite.
Don’t admit, not legit.
Cry a bit to omit and just lose it to get it.
Hypocrite baby, sit.
Can you hear the earth turning?
If so, tell me the meaning.
Or just do that one dog thing
where they piss on everything.
