Tribute To It-- LIVE @ Forum Lounge  6/10  
 


-LYRES turn the kingsmen's classic  "louie louie" inside out and kick it home 
with killer vox-continental (60's  organ) ribbon and lacing. sounds like the 
sonics meets ? and the mysterians (96  tears) and unique w/ super guitars tres 
tremolo. most LYRES' songs are  original--underground garage classix--a kinks 
cover or new colony six tune  aside...rolling stone mag gave LYRES' LP "On 
Fyre" 4 stars back in  1984. today some online sites give "On Fyre" 4 stars 
plus!  


from bklyn to amsterdam LYRES keep packing 'em in. these vintage rock  
veterans will make you shake some ass and head. come to this rare area  appearance. 
if u would like an mp3 of lyres' "help you ann" (1 song) sent  to u free to 
see if u like LYRES too, please write back to me now. "help you  ann" has been 
featured on numerous compilations including the recent "Children  of Nuggets" 
box set released by Rhino/WMG.  


-The Relatives are a local rock &  roll cover band. FYI: playing covers has 
been an aspect of the garage genre  since the dawn of 4/4 time--think of the 
beatles doing chuck berry's "roll over  beethoven". 


The Relatives pull off and carry rock &  roll classics from the late 
60's-80's: Iggy and The Stooges ("Search and  Destroy"); Bowie ("Queen Bitch"); Billy 
Idol ("White Wedding"); Talking Heads  '77 ("Psycho Killer") and more-- all 
w/flair  and respect. The Relatives pay homage to the best of a genre--renegade 
rock. The  Relatives lineup includes 2 guitar players: New World's Chef Ric 
and masterful  front man John Gullo--guaranteed to make you  smile if not lol 
and dance.


-Glenn O'Brien's TV Party: the premiere  episode w/excerpts from other 
episodes features: Debbie Harry; Chris Stein;  Jean-Michel Basquiat; Fab 5 Freddy 
and more. People used to smoke joints live  on-air in this ancient (late '70's) 
NYC cable favorite. Visit _www.brinkfilms.com_ (http://www.brinkfilms.com/)  
for more info about "TV  Party"


-Jim C. Light Show: aka James Cornwell  specializes in turning space and live 
performances into trans-dimensional  happenings. Color and light 
projections/original kinetic paintings come thru a  G5 and work with the musicians' moving 
forms. Jim C. makes art nuevo/ NO  STATIC.


ALL THIS FOR $8? YES!!! 


*****SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LIVE MUSIC SCENE:  FORUM  LOUNGE IS OWNED BY THE 
YOUNGEST BAR OWNER IN AMERICA; SHE  IS GOOD TO BANDS, ARTISTS AND PROMOTERS BY 
PROVIDING GUARANTEES ($) NOT DOOR  DEALS/RENTAL SITUATIONS (IE THE VASTLY POPULAR 
NEW DEAL BAR/VENUE OWNERS  GIVE TO BANDS IS A 'PAY TO PLAY' SCENARIO <it is 
now common that bands and  performers must pay venue operators to use their 
stage, sometimes inefficient  sound systems and door people-- or even must pay 4: 
load in, soundcheck, posters  etc.-- standard gig support/supplies stuff that 
clubs used to provide are now a  "band expense". in most sitches musicians 
only receive a low percentage of the  door. this is a terrible system and 
everyone is suffering in it even the bar  owners themselves) THIS NEW DEAL CLEARLY 
PIMPS MUSICIANS AND BRINGS THE WHOLE  SCENE DOWN)


please attend this show and forward this PR to show your support for a  
better way... also it's really a good double bill.


BTW: Billboard magazine now features a "Garage chart" so all this  garage gab 
is more than just in your head. 


Love it. Live it. Go!
