Garage Rock Legends - The Doughboys plus The Vonghouls May 8, 2010

The Doughboys are musicians of the first order – lead singer Myke Scavone led 70’s hard rock ensemble Ram Jam whose smash hit “Black Betty” reached #18 on the Billboard charts; drummer Richard X. Heyman has played with Brian Wilson, Link Wray, Jonathan Richman and Ben E. King. Guitarist Gar Francis played CBGB's with Blondie, The Talking Heads and The Ramones and performed on the Billy Idol hit "Mony Mony". Bassist Mike Caruso has recorded with Jimi Hendrix!

The Doughboys were one of the most popular of central Jersey’s bands in the ‘66 & got a recording contract with Bell Records by winning a battle-of-the-bands on Zacherle’s Disc-o-teen TV show. They were the house band at the legendary Café Wha? in Greenwich Village during the summer of ’68.

Back in their original line up, the Doughboys are today heard regularly on Steven Van Zandt's Underground Garage, busy gigging at venues like B.B. King’s, Maxwell’s & The Stone Pony where they have recently rocked with The Pretenders, The Electric Prunes and Robin Trower.

Also appearing are your friendly neighborhood garage-punk bubblegum howlers THE VON GHOULS plus NJ punkrockers TRIPLE DEUCE and Westchester's own FOOLS ON SUNDAY who are currently recording with Andy Shernoff of the Dictators.
