Bebe Buell Record Release Party!
Monday, June 29, 2009 at 4:35PM On Wednesday,June 24th, Bebe Buell had a record release party for her fantastic new record, "Air Kisses For The Masses." The party/concert was held at the ultra cool Hiro Ballroom in the Maritime Hotel. Bebe and her husband Jimmy Walls (who sings and plays guitar in Bebe's band) put yours truly on the guest list and I brought my camera, so now through the magic of this Photoblog, you can come along too. Just dress up a little, this is a swanky place!
Here we are at the Hiro Ballroom in the meatpacking section of Manhattan.
One of my (many) quirks is that I always show up early for events. I was the first one there, the bartender even said, "Are you working here?" I told him I was just an asshole that shows up early for everything and soon I was working on a beer.
Soon the people started showing up.
More people arriving and soon the place was packed.
DJ James Palmer spun tunes before the band came out. A great DJ and he got the crowd warmed up with songs and remixes from Blondie, to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, to David Bowie to the Ting Tings and lots of others. Check out his website here: DJ James Palmer.
Disco Ball!
Oh my, what an unfortuante tattoo that fellow has on his head!
Here's my friend, Ida Langsam, you remember her from Ramones Day, don't you?
Opening act was Liam McMullan. A minimalist band that's a lot of fun.
Here's Bebe's set list that was on the stage.
Here's the band's gear onstage, it's going to happen any second now!
Ladies and gentlemen...BEBE BUELL AND BAND!
Bebe and band rocked from the opening chord till the very end! Enjoy!
