Live at The Bowery Electric: Steve Conte, JoyBuzzer, The Jellybricks, The Midnight Callers


I was a happy participant at the show in the basement bar Bowery Electric on June 13, 2025. How could I not love all these great bands! MC’ed by Kurt Baker, The Midnight Callers opened the evening with their retro-rock swagger, reimagining ’70s riffs.  Next, The Jellybricks performed power-pop with style. From “DOA Brooklyn” to a lively Beatles cover (“I’ve Just Seen a Face”), their set was tight, lyrical, and full of hooks. Joy Buzzer lit up the room and the crowd sang along to their debut ‘Pleased to Meet You album loaded with  energy. Steve Conte ended the night with some serious New York Dolls-inspired swagger. What else can I say? Check out the video bits from my buddy Steven.

Mike Viola New Song! “She’s A Blur”

It’s been a long time since I saw and chatted with Mike Viola. But I attended a show in Roslyn, NY, and was lucky enough to say hello. Not an interview, and the sound is terrible, more of a “meet-and-greet,” and he’s got a new album follow-up to last year’s Paul McCarthy. I filmed one of the new songs, an acoustic ballad titled “She’s A Blur.” He mentioned on the next tour he would have a full rock band. I can’t wait!

"Beatles Stories" premiere and Red Button pre-order

I spent my Saturday Night at the east coast premier of Seth Swirsky’s new film “Beatles Stories.” A great little film that’s on the festival circuit right now, it goes through a series of interviews with celebrities and musicians who had a personal Beatles experience.

I was trying to get a photo of myself and Seth outside the theatre, so I handed my camera to a friendly asian lady who was near us. She took the photo and I thanked her… not even realizing that it was May Pang who took our picture! On top of all this Seth is now promoting the new Red Button album. The album is available now and my review will be ready in a few days. Photo: May Pang and Seth Swirsky.
