Anybody besides me remember this great Long Island rock band from the 70s and 80s? No? Oh well, I didn't think so. (Especially not here!!!)
Anyway, they are still around, albeit in a slightly different form, and are playing a couple of shows in the CT area next month. I saw them at the Oyster Festival last year and band leader Peppi Marchello, while even older and uglier than he was in his prime [which is really saying something!] still sings great. I clipped just the CT dates from the site, there are a whole bunch more in NY & NJ:

These guys could use the support, so feel free to forward to any other old f - *ahem* - mature individuals who might have been into them 'back in the day'.
