More than two decades after being banned from CU, Warlock Pinchers officially unbanned

Derek van Westrum (from left) and Andrew Novick last night at CU Boulder.

In another story that Novick related, he recalled asking, "Can we bring guns with blanks on stage." The idea was surprisingly met with approval, apparently, and before they knew it, there are three girls on stage shooting guns at stage at Club 156. Another episode revolved around how the band once got its own laser show at the Fiske Planetarium. From the sounds of it, tales of the Pinchers' antics back in the day could literally go on for days, or even weeks.

Some of the younger fans on hand last night had their video cameras dialed in the whole time, and you can hardly blame them. The presence in the room last night was electric, and there was a constant flow of good energy, in spite what happened when the guys were banned from campus all those years ago. "I officially unban the Warlock Pinchers from CU," Kjolseth exclaimed. With that, there was a burst of joyful clapping. There couldn't have been any better way this situation was put to rest.
