Legendary Talking Heads keyboardist JERRY HARRISON joins the lineup of guitarist extraordinaire GARY LUCAS & his all- star band GODS AND MONSTERS for a final hometown show before their upcoming Russian tour, at the Bowery Poetry Club in NYC this Friday April 7th at 10pm.
Dubbed “an underground-rock fan's dream team" by The New Yorker, GODS AND MONSTERS features Ernie Brooks (Modern Lovers) on bass and Billy Ficca (Television) on drums, plus Jason Candler (Hungry March Band) on sax.
A band “almost as much about history as about music" (Village Voice), former members include the late Jeff Buckley (Gary co-wrote his hits “Grace" and “Mojo Pin").
Tickets are $20. The Bowery Poetry Club is at 308 Bowery, corner of Bleecker Street. Check out new Gary Lucas online vidcast at http://www.culturecatch.com/node/205
