  This Wednesday - Tributosaurus Becomes THE BAND

There’s a moment in “The Last Waltz,” the amazing documentary about the final concert by THE BAND, when Martin Scorsese asks Levon Helm about the musical landscape in his home state of Arkansas. Levon says “bluegrass and country music…if it comes down into that area and if it mixes there with the rhythm and if it dances, then you've got a combination of all that music.”  Scorsese asks what that’s called. And Levon simply says “Rock and Roll.”

Come join us as we play Rock and Roll on December 5th at Martyrs, for 2 shows as The Band.  For some of us, this is as good as music gets.  Deep, deceptively simple grooves, soulful harmony vocals, layered keyboard excellence, great lead guitar, and much more.  We’ll draw heavily from the self-titled 2nd album, hit the debut “Music From Big Pink,” and give you a few versions from the Waltz itself.  There will also be a couple Levon Helm solo tunes as an added bonus and belated homage. 

 Certain bands stand, even decades later, as emblems of the best music can aspire to.  Come enjoy The Band with us.

VAN HALEN IN APRIL!

Hide the brown M&Ms and take the spandex out of the closet, because Van Halen is up next! Virtuoso guitar, slamming rock grooves, and infectious vocals are the hallmarks of the mighty VH - and we will capture it all for you. You'll hear many of their multitude of hits, and a couple deep cuts as always.

They are truly one of the all time greatest hard rock bands - but they've had their shake-ups through the years. We've tried to keep all our original members together, and in that spirit we will be playing ONLY the David Lee Roth years - 1972-1985 - no Hagar, no Cherone. We're not making any judgements about what came after, but it was not Van Halen to us.

Curt Morrison will be bringing it all night, along with a special guest or two, and Steve Frisbie will be joining us as well for what will be a bombastic, energetic, and exuberant night of ROCK with a pop flair that only Van Halen could really pull off while staying at the top of the hard rock pyramid.

So come on out and bang your head with us - taste the unbridled joy and energy that'll be exploding from the stage! It'll be a rock.....Eruption!

The U2 show is now officially SOLD OUT.

Thanks to all who got their tickets, we'll see you at the show!

Raise your hand if you realized they formed in 1976.  1976!  “BOY” came out 4 years later, and “I Will Follow” was eventually played by every high school rock band in America.  It was the 5th album, “THE JOSHUA TREE,” that made them the biggest band in the world in 1987.  The brilliant “ACHTUNG BABY” heralded a much needed reinvention in 1991, and somehow in the 2000’s U2 would still rank in the upper echelons of mainstream pop. 

All along, they have stayed together.  4 guys, who met when a 14 year old drummer put a flyer on his Dublin school’s notice board seeking musicians for a new band.  Their perseverance alone is remarkable.
