About Me

Loser's Lounge was started in 1993 by session keyboardist Joe McGinty and Nick Danger.

Loser's Lounge is a bi-monthly tribute show based in New York City where local talent pays homage to the pop music greats of the past. Recent honorees have included ABBA, Roxy Music, Stevie Wonder and The Highwaymen. House band the Kustard Kings are the backup band for a calvacade of singers from local NYC bands.

Sometimes famous people stop by to sing (Nellie McKay, the late Joey Ramone, Andy Richter, Debby Harry, Fred Armisen, J Mascis) but some of the most amazing performances are by the lesser-known NYC scenesters.

After a 10 year residency at Fez, Loser's Lounge now performs at Joe's Pub. Loser's Lounge has also performed at Celebrate Brooklyn, Westbeth Theater Center, The Knitting Factory, The Bowery Ballroom, Makor, and The Jewish Museum.

The Loser's Lounge band has performed at special events such as the Director's Guild Awards, The Tribeca Film Festival and were recently featured as the house band on ABC's game show "My Kind Of Town".
