>>> Buddy Ghost Rocket pontificates... >>> <<Now...if we could only get some of these folks to make pilgrimages together out once in awhile to see some of us "small fry" like the afore-mentioned Star City, or Elena Skye, or the Alphabet City Opry, or even...yes, dammit, the Ghost Rockets! <insert dramatic crescendo, cymbal crashes> Y'all come out once in a while & say howdy, okay? We've all had our shots, like to meet new faces, won't steal your girlfriends, brush after every meal...& besides, you never know when you'll have to pay the Big Bucks to see one of us at Che Stadium (named after the famed Cuban guerilla leader, Che Stadium) & you missed your opportunity to see us for free at the Rodeo Bar or for $3 at 9C...>> --Yeah, what he said. I'll take it one step further and give you a list of the shows and bands I know about. Print out the e-mail and come down to some, or all, if you can. Elena Skye & the Demolition String Band: 5/2 Maxwell's in Hoboken w/ Damnations 5/12 Mercury Lounge w/ Cigar Store Indians 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of every month @ 9C Star City 5/6 Mercury Lounge w/ Josh Clayton/Jude 5/27 Rodeo Bar, 2 sets all by ourselves 5/29 123 Plesant St, Morgantown, WV w/ Muckafergason (we've still got dates pending for Memorial Day weekend. Anybody need a good roots rock band for their BBQ?) The Ghost Rockets These guys just posted their dates earlier today, I accidentally earsed it before I printed. Can anybody repost or something? Hank Williams Lonesome Cheatin' Hearts Club Band They have a standing gig every Sunday at Parkside Lounge The Hangdogs Everybody should also check these guys out any chance they get. They do a lot of shows at Rodeo and elsewhere. I think they just got back from a tour of Italy. One of the best live bands I've seen, no joke. Make sure you're ready to drink. I know there are other NYC roots outfits out there, I'm just blanking right now. Anyone care to add anything? J
