| Frank Nevada and Steve Koch get back together with John Borra to play a few of their Boneheads faves on Saturday from 4 pm to 6 pm. Check the clips. |
"Is there life on Mars? Not sure you'll find out but just in case, you may want to drop by the Bell and Beacon (1648 Queen St. West) next Saturday from 4 to 6 where John Borra Frank Nevada and myself play the greatest hits of our old band the Boneheads.
"The Boneheads existed with a few lineup changes from 1987 into the early 90's and were part of the Queen West music explosion of that time along with Groovy Religion, the Lawn, Scott B Sympathy, Saturnalia and so many other cool bands.
"We did short, sharp, sarcastic and perfect pop songs (think Nick Lowe) along with a few sprawling loosely structured jams where Frank could expound clever stream of consciousness thoughts about pretty much anything.
"It was alot of fun and these songs are too good to be forgotten, so as the song says - why not try again?"
Adds Steve...
"A few people have been asking about who were the Boneheads so let's give credit where it's due: Frank Nevada - our fearless leader through the whole sordid affair. Rene Frattura (Herald Nix, Handsome Neds), Pete Richards and Glen Bidmore (Cads) in the first lineup. Don Kerr, Marty Lake (One Free Fall) and yours truly in the next round. John Borra (A Neon Rome) stepped up when Marty left.
"Ron Duffy (Change of Heart) took over the drum duties when Don moved on to other projects. Drew Atkins totally rocked the bass for a period while John was away. And lets not forget our great friends 'Echo' Dave Richards and Walter Sobczak who were involved in the first two recordings. On Saturday (July 26), it's Borra/Koch/Nevada at the Bell and Beacon. Come on down!"
