The Anodyne Blues Band will be playing at Desmond’s Tavern on Saturday, June 27 at 8pm. There are three bands after us – Bugs and Crumbs, Badavacado and the Paul Anthony Band – and it costs $8 at the door. Desmond’s is a classic dive – the first time we played there was during a deep winter freeze over five years ago. A pipe in the ceiling froze and water was dripping down but the place was packed and it was an awesome show.
More recently, we played there this past January and it was another rockin’ night. I could feel the bass and the kick drum resonating through the cheap wooden stage as I was playing and it was an exciting sound – major vibes!
But maybe the coolest thing about Desmond’s is the unlikely location – 433 Park Avenue South, just south of 30th Street, practically in the shadow of the Empire State Building. It attracts a diverse and unpretentious crowd of night-crawlers and other New York City people that are in the mood to party. Come for the music and stay all night for the good times. We hope to see you there!
