“VAN HALEN BASH” IN FARMINGDALE, NY We are less than one week away from turning The Nutty Irishman in Farmingdale, NY into Madison Square Garden at “Van Halen Bash” on April 1st at 8 pm. Come on down as “Dave & Dave Unchained – A Van Halen Podcast” celebrates its first anniversary with a night of old school David Lee Roth-era VH music. “If you are a Van Halen fan, this is where you’ll want to be,” says co-host David J. Criblez. “This night is going to be one to remember. Don’t be the one to read about it the next day…GET THERE!” The evening will feature two full sets by the ultimate VH tribute band, Romeo Delight, who will perform “Van Halen I” and “1984” in their entirety plus more hits from the band’s early catalog and maybe some surprises. “No one can sing the Roth material like Buddy Blanchard,” says co-host David A. Marcone. “We are going to turn back the clock for three hours and pretend we are in Pasadena, CA!” Additionally, the Daves will be podcasting live from the venue speaking with fans and members of the band for a special anniversary broadcast that will come out later in the month. The Nutty Irishman is located at 323 Main Street in Farmingdale, Long Island, NY. Tickets are $10 (includes a raffle ticket) and can be purchased at https://www.showclix.com/event/van-halen-bash .

Quite enjoyed meeting the Dave’s, I’m sure we could have talked for hours. Romeo Delight was quite good. Cool to hear those two albums in LP order, and some rarely played stuff. I’ve got some photos and some video to look through. I’ll post if anything is any good. It was very loud. |
