30th ANNIVERSARY HALLOWEEN SHOW
TO BENEFIT TUCSON DOWNTOWN RADIO Sat Oct 29

Tucson – Legendary Tucson-based garage-psychedelic band The Marshmallow Overcoat will celebrate its 30th anniversary in a concert to benefit Tucson's non-profit Downtown Radio KTDT 99.1 FM, on Saturday, October 29 at The Screening Room, 127 E. Congress Street in downtown Tucson.

Tickets are only $6, available in advance at the venue, and at the door (if not already sold out). Doors open at
9pm, with local sensations The Desert Beats taking the stage shortly after that, then Cobra Family Picnic and then the highly-anticipated return of The Marshmallow Overcoat

One of the longest-ever-operating garage-psychedelic combos, The Marshmallow Overcoat has toured globally, been featured on MTV and international television and radio, released nine critically-acclaimed albums and more than 40 releases in total over their three-decade span.

This will be their only Arizona show, and their first in Tucson for more than a decade.

The 30th Anniversary Marshmallow Overcoat line-up features players with decades in the band, including original guitarist Al Perry – an honoree of several music halls of fame -- and original vocalist Timothy Gassen, long known as an iconic garage-rock producer, author, journalist and filmmaker with the nickname "The Guru of Garage."

"This is an emotional opportunity for us to say thank you to Tucson for our 30 year journey," says Gassen, "while also helping Downtown Radio. We hope old friends and a new generation of independent music fans alike will
join us. This will be a very special night for Tucson music."

This classic lineup also boasts Matt Rendon on guitar – Rendon first auditioned for the band in 1987 – and is now
 a star of the Los Angeles Burger Records pop-scene with his other band The Resonars.

Drummer Scot Gassen and bassist Dan Magee have each posted 28 stellar years with the band, and keyboards wiz Bill Kurzenberger is the "newcomer" – he first played with the group in 2008.

The show will also feature a psychedelic light show and c Concert-goers are encouraged to wear their spookiest Halloween costumes, with the best to be featured in the video documentary currently also in production about the band's 30-year history and impact on independent music. The concert will also be recorded for audio release.
