  • Lowest of the Low are back, and better with age.

Twenty years and 65,000 copies sold later, Shakespeare My Butt is back on store shelves and the Lowest of the Low is back on the road to promote its debut album re-release. A title mocking the narcissistic writer's ego is "still relevant to the way we see music," says the Low's frontman Ron Hawkins. The re-release was a "happy accident," he says, "A combination of Universal Records running out of copies of the disc, the rights reverting back to the band and the 20th anniversary all coming together." Stephan Stanley, guitar player and vocalist, had the idea to make the re-release more than just a remastered version of the album. A 45-minute DVD, Low Roads '91-'08, chronicles the band's life on the road. "These days there's less booze, less drugs...less plotting to firebomb our label," Hawkins says. Now there's "more fun, more songs, more successful shows."
