| *****FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*****
|
| JANUARY 21 @ THE BOTTOM LINE
| THE BEAT GOES ON PRESENTS
| VOLUME 6: NUGGETS
| HOSTED BY LENNY KAYE (AS LINK CROMWELL)
| "IT'S A NUGGET IF YOU DUG IT"
|
| In 1972 Sire Records released a two-record set of garage classics
compiled by
| Lenny Kaye. That record was the blueprint for the future and a key to the
| past.
| The songs were chosen by Lenny as a tribute to all the sixties garage
bands
| across America.
|
| Most of the groups on the original record were lucky if they had a hit
single
| and/or an album released. Many of their records were promptly placed in
| cut-out
| bins and lost to the annals of time.
|
| Or so we thought...
|
| Collectors started to discover these lost gems. Rediscovering artists like
The
| Magicians, Chocolate Watchband, The Seeds, Shadows of Night, Electric
Prunes
| and
| The Nazz (who launched the career of Todd Rundgren). Many of the groups
were
| one-hit wonders enjoying their "15 minutes of fame." Perhaps they were on
Tom
| Hanks' mind when he wrote and directed "That Thing You Do."
|
| In 1998 Rhino Records released a four CD box set that included the
original
| album and enhanced the set with other lost gems of the era. THE BEAT GOES
ON
| will present many of these songs performed by current downtown musical
| talents,
| including EVAN DANDO, SCOTT KEMPNER, ANNIE GOLDEN, WILLIE NILE, THE
PRISTEENS,
| RICHARD LLOYD, CHRIS COLLINGWOOD, RICKY BYRD, MANIC PANIC DIVAS, TISH AND
| SNOOKY, RICHARD X. HEYMAN, CARLTON SMITH, GREEN ROOFTOPS and many others.
| LENNY KAYE will host the show and talk about the making of the album and
the
| scene he
| helped to create.
|
| The artists will be backed by an all star band including Andy York, Tony
| Shanahan, Rich Pagano, Kris Woolsey and musical director Andy Burton.
|
| It's the great, classic 60's album, so get out of the garage and come down
to
| the Bottom Line at 15 West 4th Street on January 21, 2000 for two shows
at
| 7:30
| and 10:30.
|
| Psychedelic Light Show provided by Gary Fury & The Pop-Art Experimental
Party.
