    "comment": "RIP Steve Almaas!\n\nBy the early 1980s, the Commandos had disbanded. The Suicide Commandos reformed in 2023 to perform at the Big Hits of Mid-America Volume Three vinyl re-release event at Hopkins Center of the Arts. The performance was released as the live album Highway 16 Revisited in March.\n\nInto late 2025, Almaas was still performing shows leading The Steve Almaas Selection. Due to a return of his cancer that he detailed on Facebook, he had to bow out of participating in the Suicide Commandos’ Farewell Blowout Show at First Avenue in late March. He was present in spirit (and on the big screen) during the star-studded evening featuring appearances by Bob Mould and Craig Finn.\n\nhttps://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2026/06/05/twin-cities-punk-legend-steve-almaas-of-suicide-commandos-has-died",
