If you just happen to find yourself in or near the vicinity of Woodstock, NY on Sunday, February 19th, make sure to stop by the Woodstock Lodge (formerly "The Crest") beginning at 8:00pm and catch Stupefaction's preeminent musicologist/vinyl hound Karate Boogaloo (aka Tim B.) manning the turntables during the "Dead Presidents Dance Party."

With Tim B. manning the DJ booth and throwing down a soundtrack of boisterous 60's garage rock, smooth soul sounds, disco, trippy psychedelia and much, much more, you'd be hard pressed to find anything else nearly as interesting and aurally pleasurable to do on a Sunday evening no matter where you are! Best of all? NO cover charge!

Amid Rumors of Legendary Punk Dive's Possible Summer Return, "Bye Bye CBGB" Opens Today @ Clic Gallery, NYC, NY

Opening Reception: Thursday, February 2, 6-8PM

"On October 14th, 2006 people came from all other the world to say “Bye Bye” to CBGBs before the club shut its doors for good. Indoors, there were 48-hours of star-studded performances, but it was the emotionally-charged going-ons right outside the club’s doors that captivated multimedia artist Bruno Hadjadj. Using sketches, photography, and videos, he immortalized the anonymous throngs who queued up outside to pay their final respects. For two days people dedicated poems, artworks, mementos, and performances to the legacy of the greatest rock club of all time. Hadjadj’s resultant body of work not only tells the tale of an era coming to an end, but also pays testament to the incredible endurance of CBGBs influence."

"Mark Reale, founding guitarist of the long running legendary New York metal band RIOT, passed away earlier today (Wednesday, January 25) in a San Antonio, TX hospital due to complications of Crohn's disease — an ailment he has battled for most of his life. He was 56 years old.

Reale had reportedly been in a coma for the past two weeks after suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage on January 11.

RIOT said in a statement: "To friends and fans of Mark Reale and RIOT, we are deeply saddened to confirm that Mark has lost his battle with a lifelong illness. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated by Mark's family, friends, and bandmates at this difficult time."

We here at TATSOL extend our deepest condolences to Mark's family, friends and bandmates.

I Love Finding Newly-Surfaced Video Of Shows I Was At: 08/08/97 Druel @ First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN

noreply@blogger.com (NYCDreamin) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:19:00 +0000

I first posted this flyer and ticket back in August 2009. It's for an August 1997 Suicidal Tendencies show at First Avenue in Minneapolis. I was there.

(Images via NYCDreamin Archives)

Here's what I said about this show when I originally posted the flyer...

"I don't remember much in particular about this show except that Druel (one of the best ever from Minneapolis) kicked major league ass and Suicidal Tendencies seemed to be a shadow of their former self - they were not very good on this particular evening."

Well! Fuckin' Hooray for Youtube! A few years later, some sweet video has surfaced (apparently from someone associated with the band) that proves my memory correct - Druel DID kick some serious ass that evening!

This seems to be a full set video (in 3 parts), so go grab something cold to drink, kick back in your computer chair, press play and witness for yourself.

Or, if you prefer, you can just hit the play button, crank it up nice and loud...wait for the right minute when the music moves you just so....and then proceed to destroy the room!

A New York Minute: Random Images From New York City circa 1970

*I'm continuing on my seemingly never-ending mission to clean out, re-organize and purge the TATSOL/ NYCDreamin' Archives. As such, here, for your perusal, viewing pleasure and consideration, nearly forty additional 1970-era NYC images (color and B&W) from old magazines, books, etc. I've listed source/credit where available.

Mini-clad Phyllis Tweel (right), founder of GAMS (Girls against More Skirt) leads her group in a demonstration against the maxi and the midi.

1970 was a year of demonstrations for equal rights. A new force on the scene was Women's Liberation. Dozens of different groups, attracting women of all ages, were organized togain "first class citizenship" for women.

Their rallying cry was "Women of the world unite," and their demands ranged from "equal pay for equal work" to free day-care centers.

Satire played a role in some demonstrations for women's rights, as in New York City, where the point was made that women are not robots, chattel, or toys.
(Marc and Evelyne Bernheim from Rapho Guillumette)

New York City Jews demonstrate against Soviet support of the Arab states. Other demonstrations protested discrimination against Jews in Russia.

Minneapolis Star Tribune's Pre-Show Press For Garland Jeffreys

noreply@blogger.com (NYCDreamin) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:32:00 +0000

On Saturday evening, Bruce Springsteen joined Garland Jeffreys and The Coney Island Playboys on stage at The Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, New Jersey to perform Garland’s "Wild in the Streets" at the annual Light of Day benefit for Parkinson’s disease. Jeffreys makes his way to Minneapolis later this week for his first performance here in over two decades.

From today's Minneapolis Star Tribune...

"On his first U.S. album in 19 years, N.Y. rocker Garland Jeffreys crafts a masterpiece that brings him to town Friday." [Jeffreys'] "The King of In Between" was not only light years better than Bruce Springsteen's most recent album, 2009's "Working on a Dream," but was the most underrated album of 2011"

Modin's Rockin' Recollections #16: 03/13/86 Kiss/ King Kobra @ Duluth Arena, Duluth, MN

noreply@blogger.com (NYCDreamin) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 06:10:00 +0000

Welcome to this latest episode of Modin's Rockin' Recollections! This week, Modin takes us back to spring 1986 for some ultra-glammed up mid-80's style pop metal...

03/13/86
Kiss/King Kobra
@ Duluth Arena, Duluth, MN
Attendance: 3,365

Here's out ticket...

Just a word of Warning to those of you who might not be familiar with the state of pop-metal in 1986...this could get a bit...uh...fugly.

Don't say I din't warn you!

Openers King Kobra, from the back cover of their often overlooked 1985 debut LP "Ready To Strike." That's former Rod Stewart/Ozzy Osbourne skin basher Carmine Appice (the mustachioed brunette) surrounded by vocalist Mark Free, guitarist David Michael Phillips and Mick Sweda and bassist Johnny Rod.

The evenings headliners: the notoriously nightmare-ish looking 80's "Asulum" era Kiss, from left, Bruce Kulick, Paul Stanley, a rather pudgy and unkempt looking Bea Arthur on bass (Oh, wait. That IS Gene Simmons?! Jeezus...) and Eric Carr. Some people thought they looked bad in the 70's. They hadn't seen anything yet...

And now, the man who went to the show and was voluntarily subjected to all that high fashion culture...and still managed to come back to school the next day with his own fashion sense grounded in some sort of reality, the one...the only...the Rockin' Recollector...Modin!

All right...that fashion disater/time warp pretty much wraps up "season II" - 16 episodes down, many more to go. If you check back here next Monday and there is NO new episode up at that time, fear not, Modin will return soon with an all new "season III." Some of the crazed, rockin' memories Modin will recollect in this all new, yet to be filmed "Season III" include shows featuring: Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Ratt, Yngwie Malmsteen, Stryper, TNT and many others! You won't want to miss it...See you soon!
