About Me

Showcase Showdown was one of Boston's finest punk bands from 1993-2000. They released 2 LP's, 8 7"s, 1 8", and 3 tapes, and played numerous shows. After their split in 2000, Victoria and Tom went on to form the Spitzz(www.myspace.com/spitzz).This is basically an unauthorized page, made by a fan. I've made this just to celebrate Showcase Showdown, and create a place for fans to trade tapes and stories. Also, my hope is that enough interest is generated, maybe Ping Pong will come out of hiding and we'll get a reunion show, or at the very least, some of their rare and unreleased material will be put out.

the meaning behind the songs..

One of the things that drew me into Showcase was the completely odd song topics. A friend of mine recently wrote up this "guide" to help understand some of the more obscure songs. Feel free to add any...
