And, Wednesday, September 3, BOOMSLANG live on The I-Square Stage (behind The House of Guitars) 645 Titus Ave. Rochester, NY 5:30 – 7:30 Free… & concurrent with The Wednesday Night Car Show at the same location(hot rods, classic cars, muscle cars, my own van held together with zip-ties and pink duct tape)
• Now why is The Infrared Radiation Orchestra pimping Boomslang in our newsletter? Let me tell yiz about Boomslang. On drums, The Jake, filled in on drums for us when IRO played The Lost Horizon. On bass, guitar and vocals, Antonia & Craig. Both have sat in with IRO numerous times. Both have co-written songs that have appeared on IRO CDs. Both will be guests on IRO’s upcoming CD of Rolling Stones covers. On 12-string and infinite-sustain-guitar, Connor, who was sitting in with IRO before I even knew the other three members of Boomslang and who administers IRO’s website. Infrared Radiation Orchestra – RIGHTEOUS VIBES – MAXIMUM PSYCHEDELIA… and lastly, me. So Boomslang is our sister band… but Boomslang does not have its own website or newsletter yet. So I will promote them here until they do.
