Band Members: Original DRAMARAMA members ........Peter Wood , MARK 'Mr. E Boy'ENGLERT, john easdale........with OUTSTANDINGsupport from........Mike Davis and Tony Snow ........ and of course our sometimes secret weapon... Cosmo Topper ************************************************************ ****** R.I.P. Our very own, personal, "N.J. Blues legend," Ray Barwick (lovingly known as "Trashcan"). His harp-playing was featured prominently onstage with us whenever possible over the last 6 or 7 years, and can be heard on both the "Absolutely, 100%. Made In N.J." and "Everybody Dies" CDs. It was always an exquisite pleasure to be in his presence, and our lives are much improved for having known him. He will be missed...
Influences: The mind and spirit of Uncle Mookie, the Man the Myth, the Legend, the forever missed Greg Dwinnell
Sounds Like: Sounds like the end of the story...but it's not. Fast forward. Past Lorenzo Lllamas, past Uncle Floyd, past Pat Sajak, past Mr. Letterman, past rehab, past five critically acclaimed albums (yes, critically acclaimed, don't believe me check . Did you check? See I told ya), past all sorts of fun, past rehab....now STOP!!!... It's 2003...you're in your garage, shirtless in your garage, the company you've worked for has gone out of business, your best friend and your mom have died just weeks apart just weeks before, and, well, with nothing else to do on a Tuesday afternoon in August you're in your garage shirtless...when all of a sudden...there are 50, well, maybe 20, okay, more like 12 people running at you with camerasand microphones. Is it America's Most Wanted, as some of your neighbors think? NO! It's your old (as in long time, not geriatric) friend Richard Blade and his VH1 crew asking you to reunite for one show with the your old band, remember? the ones who also came to sunny Southern California all those years ago? The ones, some of whom you haven't played with for almost 9 years. And of course some who you talk to and play with quite frequently. Any guesses as to which two they might be ?By Sunday it's dream time again, crowds, camera crews, swanky hoes, I mean hotels, and limousines. All goes well ,so well in fact that the guys at the way aformentioned KROQinvite y'all to play the next month at their annual In land Invasion concert. Of course you all would LOVE to, it's a no brainer.....we're fast forwarding again, past 3 weeks of drama and trauma, and STOP! It's Sept. 20th... Dramarama (with all the band members mentioned in that little members box) takes the sidestage, I know, side stage sounds a bit anticlimatic, but read on...takes the side stage where 15,000, okay maybe 10,000, people have gathered to watch you perform, and perform you did! *****************PANDEMONIUM!****************** What choice is there but to release a newDramarama album.
