Weird Vibes from Across the Pond
The current iteration of the Vibrators came across the pond from merry old England to play Bowery Electric last weekend and I made it out. It was an uncharacteristically good weekend for punk rock in NYC this one particular weekend with Fear playing Gramercy Theatre the night before (Friday) and Leggs McNeil lecturing the following Sunday […]
Richie Ramone at Bowery Electric – NYC
Though I was not that familiar with Richie Ramone’s tenure as drummer for the Ramones (1983-1987), I was curious enough to head over to Bowery Electric the other night, and I was not the only one.

The Bowery Electric […]
Tombston Brawlers & Turbo A.C.’s in NYC
Last night saw a nice punk show at the Bowery Electric, just up the street from the old CBGBs in NYC. The show featured a good mix of psychobilly and punk and began with an old local favorite of mine that I first saw at the Psychobilly Luau last year, Psychocharger. As usual, the guys […]
