New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Missing Piece Group) Legendary garage rockers The Fleshtones have just premiered "Remember the Ramones" from their new album, Wheel of Talent, via The Wall Street Journal. View the track premiere here: https://on.wsj.com/1i2LaRF
The Fleshtones Wheel of Talent erupts with raw energy proving that they haven't slowed down a bit since the 70's. They are currently gearing up to take that energy to Spain and will jump into their US dates beginning at The Grand Victory in Brooklyn, NY on 2/27. The US tour will include a stop at SXSW in Austin TX for the RajiWorld Showcase and the BYOC Day Party (Dates listed below).
The Fleshtones' legendarily manic, sweat-soaked performances have gained them a feverishly dedicated fanbase who have followed the band over their nearly 40 years of making music. One of the first bands to play CBGB's, these stalwarts of New York's music scene have persevered without leaving the underground.
The prolific history of The Fleshtones includes well over 20 releases. They were the first band booked at Irving Plaza and Maxwell's, opened for
Chuck Berry and
James Brown, shared a bass player with Television, and worked with other legendary musicians like
Peter Buck of
R.E.M. and producer/engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, The Stooges).
Watch their live performance on Urgh! A
Music War which featured them alongside artists Devo, The Cramps, Dead Kennedys, Gary Numan, and The
Police (https://bit.ly/ab1n8).
