Manny Louse had lost his lead singer, so he begged Greek Chieftains to lend him their back-up vocalist Penny. She wanted to do the gig, but the whole band had to vote on it because of some very real scheduling conflicts. Guitarist Uli, who’s always been protective of Penny, raised such a stink that the negotiations fell through. Turns out Uli had some bizarre ulterior motive, and happily came around once Manny had promised him everything from doing his household chores to writing the GCs a new song. Then the obvious happened: the bands joined forces, and are doing two sets at Hamilton’s Thursday. (Why are all the good stories at Hamilton’s this week?) A whole new band is in the works, and a star named Penny is born…
Tonight: Sea Nymph at the Bullfinch… Thee Immortals at Hamilton’s… King Lycomedes at D’ollaire’s, with a pick-up band…
