Hi...here's a little info about the new band "Dragon Redux"...I think you know where I came from....NYC 1974 till now...Zabnik, Uncle Son, the Dragons, the Drones, the Renegades, New York Junk and Poet Puma Perl.....Robbie Bean on bass, grew up with Billy Rogers, Walter and Richie Lure in Queens and had real basement bands together. He later went on to form Shadow who shared a loft downtown with the original Heartbreakers....Johnny, Walter, Gerry and Richard Hell / Billy Rath and played more gigs with them at Max's than anyone can remember and survived...later formed Voodoo Shoes with Donna Destri....he's got lot's more to say so you can ask him about it. Bill Tello was reading Rock Scene magazine while floating around the Pacific in his Navy days..joined up with the Hudson Dusters, Wild Bill Thompson and Kevin Shaw for many years. Sometime in the late 80's they joined up with the Dragons with Don on guitar, where we did almost two years of double bills with the original Waldos...Walter Lure, Big Tony Coiro, Charlie Sox , Matt Langone and Joey Pinter (later joined by Joe Rizzo on drums) at the Continental Divide, when it was called that.
That being said this is a New Band....together we have more 70's New York City DNA than you can shake a stick at...but we live in the NOW! We may have a few more wrinkles and a little less hair but we play like a bunch of teenagers in their first band!!
Come join us on Dec 18th at Bowery Electric as we bring in the New in NYC......just be there
