As you probably know by now, my final day with Uni Watch will be May 26, which is also Uni Watch’s 25th anniversary. We will have a big party that afternoon at the Bowery Electric in Manhattan, with the great hockey-rock band the Zambonis playing (that’s them above), plus a brief onstage appearance by comedian/accordionist Dave Hill (who I frankly don’t know anything about, but the Zambonis wanted him on the bill, so that’s good enough for me).
The event will run from 1-5pm. If you just want to hang out at the bar, no ticket is required — you can just show up. But if you want to see the Zambonis, who’ll be playing in the club’s downstairs space, you’ll need a ticket. Tix are now available here at the early-bird price of $10 (I believe that will later go up to $12 or $15). All proceeds will go to the band, not to Uni Watch. Hope to see you there!
Dave Hill friggen rocks. That’s so cool!
Got mine!
Paul, does Bowery Electric serve food? Thanks!
No, but you can probably bring in a taco or a sandwich for the upstairs bar area.
I’ll try to get more info on this — stand by.
Dave does a lot of sports(primarily hockey)-related stuff, from playing the national anthem at a couple of games to writing a book, in addition to doing stuff like penning the theme for the John Oliver show and stand up. He’s also originally from Cleveland!
Will we be able to buy tickets at the door or only online?
Assuming it doesn’t sell out, tix will be available at the door.
Is the nationwide tour happening or is that still TBD based on funding?
Yes, it’s happening! link
Great, thanks!
I thought for a moment it was Dave Hill of SLADE.
