Long Island rocked with Twisted Sister, Zebra, Good Rats
& more includes original ads from the time!
Allen Rosenberg: "In the 70's & 80's, Long Island had great concert venues, great local radio stations, great bars and clubs and amazing local rock bands including Twisted Sister, Zebra, The Good Rats and Rat Race Choir. In this video, I show the original ads from back in the day, showing these amazing bands and clubs. It was a fantastic time to live on Long Island."

Andrew Weiss is a songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, and producer based in New York. As The Music Court once claimed, “Weiss is a band-in-a-box.”
In these trying modern times, real, honest music and art can draw people of vast backgrounds and cultures together for understanding and empathy. Long Island's Andrew Weiss and Friends have made a name for themselves since their debut LP arrived in 2018 with their unique blend of Laurel Canyon folk rock and the sonic flourishes of late-70s power pop. Singer-songwriter Andrew Weiss clings to and cherishes moments of intimacy, difficult conversations, and emotional currency through his songwriting. A classic glow silhouettes Weiss’s storytelling, fusing a smart, throwback warmth and charm right into the work. Weiss’ songs show off his chops for character-driven stories, with an attention to detail on par with celebrated works from the likes of Dawes or Tom Petty.

Venue: Stephen Talkhouse
161 Main St Amagansett, NY
Showtime: 8 pm
In a career that spans 8 albums in 20 years, and a blur of endless tours, for her latest album, Shelter In Place , Inda opted for once to stay put. The 11-song record was literally tracked in the Springs, New York-based artist’s backyard. In the stillness of the album writing process, she sifted through her scrapbook of travels, and created a Huck Finn-spirited collection of story-rich heartland rock songs brimming with adventure, and personal reflection. Inda’s warm humor, free-spirited emotionality, and literate flair make her songs feel as comfy as a favorite pair of jeans.
