BUBBLE (AND FRIENDS!) SALUTE THE BEATLES' "REVOLVER"...
TWO SHOWS (A 6pm "KIDS" SHOW, AN 8pm "BIGGER KIDS" SHOW)
This SATURDAY MARCH 26th at The BAGGOT INN, 82 West 3rd Street!
With!: Nellie McKay, Jed Parish, Lianne Smith, Brian Dewan, Julian
Maile, Wilder Selzer, Cathy Cervenka, Erik Paparozzi, Mark Rinzel, Deni
Bonet, Courtney Lee Adams Jr., Dave Rave, Gary Pig Gold, Serena Jost,
Roger Lipson *and* Joe Pecorino (from The Original Cast of
Beatlemania!)... all being heroically backed-up by Dave Foster's ace
power-pop combo BUBBLE, featuring Jon Spurney, Alec Cumming, Tom DeVito
and Bill Gerstel.... with the entire show hosted by Q104's Ken Dashow,
host of “Breakfast With the Beatlesâ€!
In a reprise of their now-legendary sold-out January Arlene's Grocery
"Classic Album Night" performance*, BUBBLE and more than a few avowed
"Ringosexuals" will lovingly perform TWO all-star tributes to what may
be the single best album ever recorded - the Beatles' classic 1966 LP
REVOLVER - at the BAGGOT INN (212-477-0622): a 6pm show for kids (and
their parents), and an 8pm show for - umm - bigger kids. The album will
be performed the way it was meant to be, song-for-song, strum
for-strum, with the #1 single "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" (recorded
during those same fateful spring '66 sessions) thrown in for good
measure. Rare Beatles videos and cartoons (!) will be shown, special
guests and surprises are promised, and yes, A Splendid Time Is
Guaranteed For All.
Tickets are available via InstantSeats, at http://www.instantseats.com/
Reserved tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for kids (early show only).
$8 general admission (standing room) tickets will be available the day
of the show, and tables may be reserved by e-mailing
dave@bubbleland.com .
Why take on REVOLVER, the pop LP voted "top album of all time" in a
poll of 200,000 BBC listeners, you may ask? (You may.) Certainly, Sgt.
Pepper's was a world-shaking event, The White Album is chock-full of
surreal greatness, Abbey Road set the stage for '70s rock, and Rubber
Soul is folk-pop perfection.
But Revolver features a band at its peak: John, Paul, George and Ringo
all at the top of their game. They were in fighting shape, coming off
of 5 to 6 years of relentless touring, yet still friends. Brian Epstein
was still alive, their brains weren't too scrambled on LSD (yet), Yoko
and the Maharishi were in the wings, and Brian Wilson's PET SOUNDS had
just come out to give the lads a competitive kick in the ass. So:
there's not a duff track to be found. "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "She
Said She Said" arguably invented Power Pop; "Tomorrow Never Knows"
heralded the onslaught of Psychedelia. "Eleanor Rigby" and "For No One"
are both unspeakably perfect baroque pop, and "Yellow Submarine" is,
was, and always will be an undeniable, joyful, and silly Children's
song.

seats or at least get there early - the previous performance sold out
quickly!
Turn Off Your Mind, Relax, and Float Downstream,
Love,
BUBBLE
