    Bunratty's Reunion.... will be on Sunday afternoon, July 19 at the Wonder Bar (formerly BUNRATTY'S!!!!) in Allston. Music starts at 2PM and here's the latest from AJ Wachtel: the Bristols are performing for the first time in 9 years. Their versions of Aerosmith's Seasons of Wither is their only song they have ever recorded. They will be going on at about 4PM. Black Number Nine is also performing for the first time in many moons. this is Charlie Leger's band. Charlie used to be in Unattached and the Fighting Cocks. I think they will also "back up" Nikki Stone and Des from The Boston Brats for a few songs. Alizon Lissance x from Girls Night Out and now in the Lovedogs will be performing as will Jody Sandwich. And Marky Mark's old friend Jada Tringale will also be live and onstage at Bunratty's on Sunday afternoon July 19. this should be a pretty cool show

Blowfish says.....
The Memphis Rockabilly Band at the Randolph AmVets - July 3
   I saw this gig posted by Joe Coughlin on the Noise Board. Not the usual club venue but it was pretty nice. Free admission and cheep booze for starters and a nice low key crowd finally my age for a follow up.
    The band is all experienced players who have it down pat. The guitarist did it all - rock, country bends and double stop runs, chicken picking, Duane Eddy style and then picks up a sax and blows a solid lead! The other guitarist also plays piano and the bass player used an electric and stand up bass.
   They play with a quiet authority and little fuss, nothing between them and the music, no big dress up or tattoo fetish.
   This was a neat night of rockin' in the suburbs. Check out The Memphis Rockabilly Band if you get a chance.
