2 Bobs, the old Cleveland punk band that featured Bob Richey and Bob Sablack, played around town semi-regularly in the ’80s but never attained the notoriety of other like-minded bands such as the Pink Holes and the Pagans. That’s not stopping Smog Veil Records from putting out a limited 2 Bobs release that features the band covering “Roll On Big O” and “Papa Oom Mow Mow.” Only 100 copies will be pressed on black vinyl and the folks at Smog Veil tell us, “The record will not be repressed and there will be no download available.” According to Smog Veil, Blue Arrow Records in North Collinwood and My Mind’s Eye in Lakewood are the two area stores that will have it in stock for Record Store Day, which takes place tomorrow.

An old school limited edition release is a fitting salute to the 2 Bobs.
I heard this record is haunted and if you listen to it then you get scared because of ghosts that haunt this supposedly haunted record… Other than the hauntings, this record is a good record to have except for the fact that it’s haunted.
TIM SHAW RULES THE AFTERWORLD!
The 2 Bobs were my people man. If the scene would just unite we could do anything.
Hey, the 2 Bobs are a serious band and you guys should take this more seriously! This is a very relative and important piece of work in their already astonishing body of work, and if I were still alive, I’d tell them that to their faces. I cant stand it anymore…. Lou Reed.
Bob Sablack??? that guy owes me 5 bucks from the 2300 Club days! how can I get ahold of him?
They suck
Well that’s pretty cool, glad that they’re doing that.
I liked them better when Neil was in the band, before Bob joined. When they were Neil and Bob.
Wanna hear a true story? This is back in the days of the good old Phantasy Theatre. Me and Bob S. were there together (this is the other Bob writing this) and naturally, about 30 beers into the evening, Sablack comes up to me and says “Hey, I heard that in the girls bathroom it says ‘Bob Sablack has a big dick’ written on the wall”! He was all happy & we were laughing about it, till I decided to check it out for myself. So I drunkenly braved walking inot the ladies room unannounced, where i find written with a big black sharpie “Bob Sablack is a big dick” sprawled across the wall! I swear to God! I have a photo to prove it! Then we drank more – I think we may have even attempted to play – and then somehow made it home. The end.
