The latest Star Spangle, direct from their bunker, info is as follows...

Hey! (If you have a lisp, good luck with this one…)

The Star Spangles declare their independence from everything (except their fans) Saturday, July 3rd at Sin-e, NYC (Attorney at Stanton St.)

The Star Spangles, 11pm
Back In Spades, 10pm
Sexy Magazines, 9pm
The Stalkers, 8pm

Back In Spades is from Detroit. Usually that would be enough, but, as an added bonus, it also features Jackson Smith. They are the best new band out there, according to me. Do not miss them.

Our shows with the Chesterfield Kings and the Romantics were as good as it gets and next, we look forward to hooking up with the Real Kids at Boston’s Coolidge Comer Theatre on June 11th to celebrate the premiere of their bio-pic, “All Kindsa Girls” Anybody in the vicinity should check it out.

Those of you who live on, or near Long Island, NY can come and see us at the Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale on June 22nd. We’re “special guests” on a Battle Of The Bands show that Little Steven is promoting in conjunction with his excellent Underground Garage

This from Japan, last year - www3.stream.co.jp/web/mtvi/meta/s/ss03_live/starspanglers.ram
(Sadly, they cut it just before TV threw his socks into the crowd)

When they’re not on tour, Nick & Joey spin the good vinyl at Lit, 93 Second Ave every Monday. It’s highly entertaining, and sometimes a geezer with mammoth tits shows up.

Those of you with Concert TV on your digital cable system, should check out the glory that is Tom Walker’s video for the single that should have been: “I Don’t Wanna Be Crazy Anymore” It’s on for a month. If you don’t have it, bug your cable company. http://www.watchconcert.com for a tease…

Keep August 14th free…(trust me)

The logo competition is still on. Closing date is July 30th. Info@thestarspangles.com has been getting A LOT of mail with viruses attached. They get deleted immediately without being opened. We acknowledge every submission we see, so if you sent something and didn’t hear from us, you are diseased. Please be more careful.

Remember…there’s a lot of stuff out there passing itself off as “rock & roll.” You are a Spangles fan, so you know the difference. It is your duty to educate others. We’re doing our bit. There was a time when radio was fun to listen to, and the charts were exciting. Now we are subjected to shite presented as “cool” or “hip” by droogs who wouldn’t know the good stuff if it pissed down their throat. Scope out alternatives. Satellite and/or web radio is worth a try. Steven’s slowly making a difference. The Spangles did 2 hours on East Village Radio last week. It’s a pirate, AND on the web. We love pirates, those who reject the system. www.eastvillageradio.com Supporting live music is another way to make changes. Patronize your local indy record store, too. And trade files. Pick a side…take a stand…this is the modern war

We are deeply saddened by the death of NY guitar great, Robert Quine. He was one of the few musicians who could justifiably be called a genius.
