Busy night tonight.

Karaoke + Poetry = Fun rolls into the Bowery Poetry Club at 10pm. It's free, and if you want to read and sing, drop me an email at daniel m nester at hotmail dot com. Details on where to go are here and what choices of songs you have are here (scroll down).

Before that, somewhere between 7 and 9:45pm, I will be playing three cover tunes with Gene "bakedziti.net" Cawley on bass/vocals and Drew "Overlap" Gardner on drums for the Boog City Classic Albums Live's Live Aid at 20 concert.

Our set, under the name Balls to Monty (a reference to Withnail & I), will comprise the following:

U2's "Bad"
Queen's "Hammer to Fall"
Simple Minds' "(Don't You) Forget About Me"

I can promise you that Gene and Drew will rock the house. I'm working on it, and with enough coffee in me, I should be up to the task. I'll be bringing my full-on Brian May set-up: the Burns Red Special, the Brian May Deacy amp, maybe even curly guitar chords if First Flight Music has 'em.

To listen to Gene's demo of our Simple Minds treatment, go here.
