Birth of the Electric Sitar

Isn't YouTube Great?

So the month of May was busy for us, performing an unprecedented seven shows. Apparently we have garnered some fans along the way and one of them filmed us at the Suzie Creamcheese benefit at The Delancey.

Here's the video...

Beatle-esque?

Angelo over at Power Pop Criminals has been creating compilations for every occasion on his blog/site for five years!

His newest is an homage to bands that, while not sounding exactly like our lovable Mop Tops, have Beatle-esque qualities.

Oh yea, he included the song "Tearing You Down" from our new CD. I know, we're Beatle-esque!

Go to his blog and download his compilation (NOW!).

A Month Of Sundays

Lots of activity this coming month! We're scheduled for a run at Otto's Shrunken Head and Tiki Bar every Sunday in May (Except the 29th!). In case you've never been there, this place is really cool; done up in polynesian decor and with one of the best DJ's in Manhattan I can safely say you will have a good time.

Coming up Saturday May 14th is the Nursery Reunion Show at Bar None on 3rd Ave. (between 12th and 13th St), where The Nursery used to be!

For those who don't know, The Nursery was an after hours club in the late 70's/early 80's where Joey used to work. On any given evening many NYC Rock and Roll lumineries (along with riff raff like myself) used to hang out. Ahh, memories, what's left of them!

Thursday May 19th at The Delancey (Delancey Street at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge)a benefit for Susan Piscatello from the band Cheap Perfume who is suffering from brain cancer.

Powerpopaholic Review!

Aaron over at Powerpopaholic.com has reviewed our new CD. If your interested (and you wouldn't be HERE if you weren't) you should go to his website and see what he has to say about other our disk and other new releases including the new Smithereens CD. I think you'll find that he knows what he's talking about!

Live with Dave the Boogieman

Last week we were guests on The Dave The Boogieman show on Radio International NY.

Of course we had a blast (as you can hear for yourself). Dave and Barry are alot of fun and good friends. And speaking of friends, our buddy Michael Zucko was also in attendance.
