Hi All,

It's been a great week of music. The UNPRONOUNCEABLE have been drawing bigger crowds every week while they are the band in residence on Sundays at OTTO's SHRUNKEN HEAD. They have two more weeks there, so catch them before they take off for the summer, (Two of them are getting married, so they're taking some honeymoon time.)

This week's show not to miss will be DIRTY LENIN on Friday nite, uptown at the RACCOON LODGE on York Ave and E. 76th St. This will be their last show until August because two members in that band are also getting married. (Must be contagious).

I am glad to announce that I will be one of the sponsors, along with GUITAR WORLD magazine, GIG LIZZY Studios, GNYCTV and many others, for the M.E.A.N.Y. Festival this September. It will be held over a week at 5 or 6 different venues. Last year's winners did a show at the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. If you want to enter, go to my Home Page and just click on the M.E.A.N.Y. Fest link. If you mark your entry form as a FRANK WOOD submission you will get a discount on the registration fee.

You might have noticed that NYC UNPLUGGED - The Core Of NYC's Best Bands has not been every week, the way it used to be. We are in the process of winding it down and out at the 169 BAR because club management does not have the concept of loyalty that we thought surviving a wicked winter would have been bestowed upon us. No Problem, we have a few KICK-ASS shows left, so catch them while you can.
