Two weekends ago we practically moved into Radio in Union Square for a very epic weekend of ROCK.
December 9th one of the umpteen bands I’m in, The Michael J. Epstein Memorial Library had the absolute pleasure of playing Edrie’s birthday party at Radio with Rick Berlin and Walter Sickert and the ARmy of BRoken TOys. Here is Michael’s official recap of the night. MJEMLVideo.

Next up, Big Lights Big Rod (featuring Ashley Willard, Rodrigo van Stoli, Kate Murdoch, Magen Tracy and more). Big Lights Big Rod do Under the Milky Way by The Church. Big Lights Big Rod do In Your Room by The Bangles:
Pour Somerville Sugar on Me (comprised of Brendan Boogie, Christoph Krey, Abbie Barrett, Chuck Ferreira and more) closed out the night with some more classics, but first Brendan raps! Somerville Sugar does I’ll be there for you by Bon Jovi, Somerville Sugar does Fairytale of New York by The Pogues, and they closed out the night with an impressive and sobering performance of Living Colours Cult of Personality:
