Mike Burro of The One Eyed Bishops with Stewkey of NAZZ
Classic rock vocalist 'Stewkey' Antoni of NAZZ, will perform with Mike Burro and his
'One Eyed Bishops' at 'Uncle Mike's', in the Tribeca section of Manhattan, August 23rd.
For the uninformed, NAZZ was formed by Stewkey & Todd Rundgren in the summer of '67', and went on to cut 3 LPs for Screen Gems, Columbia. The band charted with the original version of 'Hello it's Me', and the psychedelic nugget 'Open my Eyes'. Although the personnel in Nazz has changed, Stewkey remains at the helm, taking the band into the 21rst century.
Mike Burro has been leading his UK R&B outfit 'The One Eyed Bishops' since 2002, but was already known within the 'spacerock' circuit for his work with the English band
Hawkwind and it's many related projects. The 'OEBs' have toured The UK and the northeast U.S. and have been credited with reviving the genre of music known as 'skiffle'.
Burro & Stewkey have been performing together since February 2004.They
organized 'The New York Greg Ridley Memorial Concert', to honor the fallen 'Humble Pie' bassist. Since then, the two have been showing up in Manhattan about twice a year to play in small clubs around greenwich village. 'Uncle Mike's' in Tribeca will be the setting for this show and it should prove to be an excellent venue to catch a vocalist who is "straight out of the encyclopedia of rock". 'Uncle Mike's' is located at 57 West Murray st. ( between Church & West Broadway ). The venue phone number is ( 212 ) 791-9676 or you can visit them online at: http://www.myspace.com/
