The Smithereens
Thursday, July 8th @ 8pm Only
Dressed in leather, brandishing heavy guitars,
and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop, The Smithereens
were an anomaly in the American college rock scene of the late '80s.
Pat DiNizio's deep, moody vocals and Jim Babjak's thick, heavy guitar
riffs added darkness and modernity to the classic pop structures
of the group's songs. They became popular with singles such as "Blood
and Roses" and "Only a Memory," gathering fans through
heavy college radio airplay and extensive touring. |
