The Embarrassment

American punk rock quartet formed in 1979 in Wichita, Kansas, and disbanded in 1983. The band described themselves as "Blister Pop." The group has reunited for regional performances on multiple occasions, first in the mid-late 1980s, which yielded the God Help Us session; again between 2006 and 2008; and most recently in June 2023 after a screening of the documentary We Were Famous, You Don't Remember: The Embarrassment. The early 2000s performances included the original lineup of Nichols, Goffrier, and Giessmann, along with [a=Eric Cale] on bass, while the most recent live lineup consisted of Nichols, Goffrier, Cale, and [a=Britt Rosencutter] on drums.
