Lava means never having to say you’re sorry
Smell that? That’s the sad scent of missed
tiki-tunity. At this past weekend’s Putnam Valley
Town Tag Sale, our own Otto spotted a little lava
tiki at one of the tables. Ku -- warrior god, evil
con carne.
Eager to add to his collection of
cursed forbidden trinkets (I think we’re all
familiar with the Brady Bunch in Hawaii
episode), he turned his pockets inside out to
find his flask, his wallet, his lucky dagger
but, unfortunately, not the five bucks required
to walk away with the tiki. When he finally
returned, incredible post-LGC show later, he was
greeted with an empty space on the field where
the tiki table had been.
Oh, how Otto cried! He cried and cried till he actually water-boarded himself with his own salty tears. (Editor's Note: Not true. Otto never cries; he breaks stuff.)
Still, the great outdoors was
made even greater by the Cocktail’s incendiary
performance on the rain-besotted stage. Weather
and locusts be damned!
Special thanks again to Tom “The Bomb” O’Reilly for the beer and for having us there. Also, to the rest of the boys in the Barfly Orchestra, Hey Baby, No Excuse and Pistol Pete’s Soul Tree Villains.

Beyond Sunset
A big thanks to everyone who
dragged their collective ass down to The Sunset House in Peekskill
Friday night. A most memorable night to say the
least!
As if booty-shakin’ babes dancing on wobbly tables wasn’t enough, a surprise special guest appearance by the legendary local singer/ frontman/madman, Dino Fregosi, took it to the next level, which could best be described as total reckless chaotic abandon!
The end of the night saw Dino, Roxy, Stewed and the delicious Plushie Lush sharing a mic with The Scared Stiff's bass-thumping ghoul-gone-wild Chris Laubis before the whole thing basically burst into flames.
Dino had so much fun that he
invited LGC to open up for his ever-popular
Dino and the Missiles next Saturday
night (9/29) at The Claddagh in Mahopac at 10.
For those following along, that’s three gigs in 24 hours this upcoming weekend for the Cocktails, beginning with The Fallen Biker Benefit at 6:30 at Eagle's Hall (7 Old Albany Post Rd, Ossining, NY) and winding up at the gazebo in Mahopac Chamber Community Park (Corner of Routes 6 and 6N, Downtown Mahopac) at 1:30 pm. Hope to see you at one or all of ‘em. We’ll be the ones on stage -- with the guitars, drums and stuff...
On a separate note - we raise and
drain our glasses to the meanest pianist we
know, Harvé Bangwaller, who not only survived
his first LGC gig, but made it sing.
Thanks, Harvé -- we may even reconsider not
posting those embarrassing post-gig cheesecake
shots of you, too.
See? I Tole You!
