What a weekend! First, the band let loose at the Spruce on Friday and drank more beer than a small army of Irish Wolfhounds.
 
Then onto Woofstock, where the band rocked n' rolled in some crap it found on the lawn. You ain’t seen nothing til you’ve experience hot Yorkie on Chocolate Lab action. Thanks again to the electric blues boys of Blue Mozart, who provided the LGC with stellar sound, and a special you-make-me-wanna-shout-out to Not Fade Away, who greased the crowd for us with their timely timeless rock n roll classics.
 
Later that night... The Rusty Trombones blew into Rubens in Peekskill for their maiden gig and despite the cramped quarters, everyone had a reach-around great time. Again, a round of thank yous to everybody who dragged themselves out for one last musical act in a weekend full of musical acts. Look for the next Rusty ‘Bones show at the Peekskill Coffee House, September 11th from 8 til 10 – not 24 hours after the almighty Scared Stiffs open up their hearts and veins once again for the hungry hordes at The Northwood, with Dino and the Hostages!

Is it possible to do too much floating in a pool with too many bikini bodies whilst drinking too much beer? God knows we’re trying to find out. As summer wraps us in its liquid lava grip, we douse ourselves with sun block and souse ourselves with fine imported lagers and misty domestics in equal amounts. Only when the sun has set do we drag our bedraggled bodies out of the primordial ooze that used to be our pool (before it became our home). Then, with the all the dexterity and grace of an emerging catfish crawling across asphalt, do we light the tiki torches -- signifying the end to another blazing hot day and the dawn of a new excuse to drink some more.
 
Speaking of... this weekend offers several Lifesize Gorgeous reasons to go on living:

First, on Friday, August 6th, the band returns to The Spruce Hill Inn for another electric sweat session. If you were there the first time we played, you know how good it was... but remember... legally you’re enjoined from talking about it.
 
Then on Sunday, the 8th, it’s a double-header of sorts as the LGC joins our good pals Blue Mozart to play a set for our fine furry friends (and no, we’re not talking about Dickie Mellonball and smarmy former manager Jeff Valley). We’re going to the dogs for the Woofstock Benefit at Sycamore Park in Mahopac. We commandeer the bandstand at 11:30 am with an assortment of bands to follow.

Then, later on that same evening, it’s the musical event you didn’t know jackdiddley about but have totally been waiting for -- the maiden voyage gig of The Rusty Trombones, featuring Roxy, Otto and The Brown Tornado from The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails, and Beautiful Bobby Bauer from Hey Baby. It’s hard-ass acoustic rock and the perfect soundtrack for your fetish-filled life. It’s all happening at Ruben's Mexican Cafe in Peekskill from 6:00 til 8:30ish. So, if all you Rust Rioters aren’t quite done getting lubed up, may we suggest Ruben's as the perfect hub for a nightcap?

Sorry, I’ve been delinquent with the bloggo lately -- all this social networking is tough when you’ve got your arm in a Sinagapore Sling. Let’s catch up real quick--

The Hey Baby Cancer Awareness Event was a blast -- literally. One of my guitars blew up due to a lethal combo of humidity, pelvic friction and all the free beer that was made available to the band. But all hail King Jimmy Buddy Ox, Skip, Bobby and the rest of the boys for making a big day out feel more like a high school reunion. (You know, like a cool reunion, like the 5th -- before everybody gets boring and fat.)  Let’s see, then there was the Spruce Hill show, then there was… shit, I forget. They don’t call ‘em Mind Erasers for nothing! Oh yeah, somewhere in there Roxy got cheeky with Deadbolt main man Harley Davidson. Scary voodoo girl!
 
Next up, this Friday the 21st, Sue’s Sunset House. Come on out and rock till you plop. It’s Ladies Night! (That’s not official, I’m just calling it that so more ladies show up)

Time again to turn that turk around and stuff her like you mean it as the Cocktails give thanks to the Gods of Rock with two, yes, two shows in one glorious weekend.



First, get ready to put the gorge in gorgeous as the LGC returns this Friday, November 20th, to Sue’s Sunset House to offer themselves to the hungry fans who undoubtedly would like nothing more than to tear apart our collective carcass and consume our flesh (wait, which frikkin' holiday is this?).

Then, it’s back for seconds on Sunday the 22nd at the German American Club from 2-9 as we join the cute-as-a-button, but decidedly un-toilet trained Hey Baby to celebrate another year of the only paper that matters in New York – More Sugar.  Come out as we tip our hats, cups, bartenders, and take off our shirts to the Prince of Pulp – Tom O’Reilly, with a BIG assist to Contessa of Cool - Karen Collins.

The Luscious Lushes will be there to whip the crowd (literally) into a frothy frenzy, and if that’s not enough to lure SOME of you 18,000 alleged readers out, how about a well-placed kick in the giblets?

THE COCKTAILS START FLOWING EARLY
ON FRIDAY THE 13TH!



This Friday the 13th, the LGC are gonna get stuporstitious! We're packing up our gear and rabbit’s feet to play two, two, two shows in one day. 

First, a rare daytime benefit show for veterans at VA Hudson Valley Healthcare System, Montrose Campus.

“God I love the smell of vodka in the morning!”

Then we’re dragging our black cat bones to our home away from the asylum -- Sue's Sunset House in Peekskill -- for a MARATHON booze-fueled luckfest! Take note Cocktail lovers: we’re starting early --  NINE O’CLOCK -- and going till the last table dancer topples over.

Also for your added enjoyment, the triumphant return of that tantilizing trio of tasty temptresses, the Luscious Lushes Go-Go Dancers!

Get your Heart On for a great cause. Next Sunday the 15th, our best fiends, The Scared Stiffs (featuring the LGC’s own Otto Wino on guitar) are gathering up a great Post Valentine’s Show to benefit The Putnam Humane Society and The Putnam Valley Dog Shelter. 

There are lots of things those poor little kitties and puppies need, so check the poster to see how you can help. And if you wanna bring something to help feed the humans, that would be great, too.

The whole thing happens from 2-8 at the Putnam Valley German American Club. There’s going to be a ton of talented performers, some Roller Derby Girls and a whole lot of people giving of themselves to help out the animals! Come on down!

Bitch screwed us again with her sub-zero temps. That’s two straight Sunset shows cancelled ‘cause of her frigid, fickle ways. Apologies to anyone who came out and braved the cold and didn’t get the emergency e-mail in time. We promise we’ll make it up to you if it’s the last thing we do. 

(And it just might be.)

Meanwhile we did storm Arlene’s Grocery in the city on Sunday and raised a rukus as well as raising a bunch of cash in a benefit for the Abingdon Theater Company’s production of Greek Holiday. Fun was had by all, even though pastrami was only had by some in a post-show pigout at Katz’s famous deli. Viva La Meat Bomb!

Harvé points out the culprit.

“YOU! You’re the one who stuck this mike in my eye!”

Well, that’s what we get for poking fun at Rudolph’s drinking problem -- the Storm of the Century! That sucker blew in and iced what promised to be a show of enormous holiday proportion.

But have no fear, Sugar Plums! We’re revving the whole shebang back up again, January 16th at 10 pm, with the LGC Ghost of Christmas Passed Spectacular at Sues’s Sunset House in Peekskill.

Featuring the return of Mai Tai Mike on guest guitar and as always, of course... the nicest, naughtiest group of gift-wrapped Go-Go dancers to ever melt a North Pole - THE LUSCIOUS LUSHES!

It’ll be like the holidays came and went and came again! Pass the tissues!

And then, even before you’ve had a chance to clean the reindeer droppings offa your Go-Go boots, we make a triumphant return to Arlene’s Grocery in NYC, as part of a triple-header to benefit the Abingdon Theatre Company’s production of Greek Holiday (which will feature none other than Mrs. Bangwaller). That’s two days later, January 18th, from 5 - 8 pm. Also on the bill: D’Haene and The Mighty Weaklings.

Done -- a  three-gig weekend. Over and out.

The Fallen Biker Benefit was cool. Thanks to Jason Gisser for the impeccable sound and a Few Good Men MC for being great hosts and for not beating us to death with pool cues.

The Dino Fregosi Experience was everything an out-of-control, decadent excuse for rock 'n’ roll excess should be. What happened at the Claddagh stays at the Claddagh. Special thanks to Chris Laubis from The Scared Stiffs for making it all happen. If anybody found our bag full of t-shirts, let us know.

Sunday’s Mahopac Gazebo gig was very... bright. Daytime’s a bitch, but all had a good time. Hair-of-the-dog-stuck-to-some-cotton-candy is the best way to describe it. Shout outs to Scooby-Doo, for the sexy-as-you-can-imagine stripper routine during whatever song we were playing.

See you all at The Sunset House this Friday October 5th and then in Millbrook at Seany B's 101 on the 13th.  That appears for the moment to be the last one for October, as we take some time to learn some new songs and replenish out liquor supplies.

Requests? Drop us a line.
