David Johansen, Bebe Buell Band, Ribeye Bros. and Frankenstein 3000
Woody's Roadside Tavern in Farmingdale, NJ
Sat. Apr. 21st

Legendary singer David Johansen started his career in one of the most influential bands in the history of rock and roll, the New York Dolls. Since then, he has chalked up worldwide success with his alter ego, Buster "Hot Hot Hot" Poindexter, major movie roles: Scrooged, Car 54 Where are You? and several critically acclaimed solo albums. On Saturday, April 21st, David brings an intimate, soulful performance from his catalog and songs that have inspired him to Woody's Roadside Tavern in Farmingdale, NJ. Joining him on the bill will be the Bebe Buell Band.

The Bebe Buell Band features one of rock's revered icons. Ms. Buell brings her high energy brand of rock n roll as she performs songs from her new CD "Hard Love". The band is made up of several NJ notables: Pete Marshall (Iggy Pop, Samhain), Bob Pantella (Monster Magnet) Jimmy Walls (Das Damen, DGeneration) Keith Roth (Frankenstein 3000, Bad Biscut, Mars Needs Women), and Zac Lasher (U-Melt).

David and Bebe have known each other since the 1970's when Bebe's boyfriend at the time, Todd Rundgren was producing the first NY Dolls album, but this is their first ever show together.

Also performing will be the Ribeye Brothers, a psychedelic garage band who have been making a big splash on the local scene. The band features Joe Calandra and Jon Kleiman formerly of Monster Magnet and Tim Cronin.

Frankenstein 3000 rounds out the bill with a cd release party. These great, glam punk n' roll faves will be celebrating the release of their new CD "Allerton Avenue".

Check out our latest releases: adult alternative rockers Digger Phelps, the sophomore effort from the "best cello-core band on the scene", Jack Brag, and up-and-coming power-poppers Acid.
