Hi All,

I had no shows on Saturday Mar. 27, so I went on a road trip to D.C. with BANANA FISH ZERO. Nothing like unaccountable debauchery to get the heart pumping with rock'n'roll! They packed the VELVET LOUNGE more than double what the 2 local bands combined did.

Well it's almost April, and that means it's time for MAD JUANA as the band in residence, every Sunday up at OTTO's as part of NYC UNPLUGGED - the core of NYC's best bands. They're going to bring in special guests all month long. You don't want to miss any of these shows The "SOFA KING" WILDE JAM after their shows will be.
