Joe Hurley of Rogue's March asked me to spread the word on this fun show tonite: Hey friends, Tonight (Friday 13th) is the 25th Anniversary Party of Manic Panic, America's 1st Punk Clothing store. Tish and Snooky, the beautiful sisters who own the company, are throwing an all-night bash at CBGB's Lounge(Basement)with performances from all sorts of rock luminaries(from Manitoba of the Dictators to Robert Gordon to Lenny Kaye etc)and the event is a benefit for the fantastic rescue dogs of 9/11. The party starts at 9pm- I'll be singing 'God Save the Queen' and 'Sex & Drugs & rock&roll' somewhere between 9:30 and 10:30.There will be tons of legendary surprise guests and a great house band(Daniel Rey(Ramones producer), Tony Shanahan(Patti Smith), James Mastro(H&H show, Ian Hunter, 'Chaser'producer!)and Rich Pagano(Fab Faux, Ian Hunter). An amazing evening for a great cause....Some of you may know Tish and Snooky as the 'Roguettes'(Rogue's March backing singers)but these girls have sung with everyone-They were original members of Blondie with Debbie Harry for Godsakes! ...Hope to see you there tonight, Cheers, Joe Hurley.
