The Zambonis: The world’s only all hockey rock n roll band

 I have never been a hockey fan. I don’t really know why. It has everything someone could want in a sport, it’s fast paced, takes great skill and there is often blood. Maybe it’s because I never played it as a kid. It was not a family thing, I don’t remember anyone in my house ever mentioning it. 

They say you are never too old to change and I may just become a hockey fan yet, thanks to the Zambonis. The ‘Zambonis are a rock n roll band out of Bridgeport, Connecticut that play nothing but tunes about hockey. No love songs, break up songs or car songs, just hockey songs.

Okay, so they put out a couple of songs about hockey, big deal? Right? Try seven albums and counting. They play everything from punk to ska, metal, rockabilly and even country and western.

Mainly a recording act, they do play a few gigs a year  mostly in the northeast.  Last year they played a 2:30pm gig at a library in Roxbury, Connecticut! How rock n roll is that?

They have been sanctioned by the NHL and have been commissioned to write songs for several teams. There music is available on Spotify, Amazon, Apple etc..and you can checkout there videos on YouTube.

Upcoming Country Star’s Debut Marred By Ugly Post Concert Incident

(New York) A young and upcoming country music star named  Jim Lonesome made his performing debut earlier this week at the Bowery Electric in Lower

Manhattan. It was the 20th annual Hank O Rama Hank Williams Tribute and he rocked the capacity crowd with a rousing rendition of Hank’s “Hey, Good Looking”.

Mr. Lonesome was backed by the world famous Lonesome  Prairie Dogs featuring  the legendary Lenny Kaye on pedal steel. He also wowed the crowd with his own original interpretive country line dance now known by various names including “The Up-Down”, “Something Two Year Olds Do” and “The Lonesome Jim”.

The soon to be country superstar is a native of Parma, Ohio where he spent his youth drinking large quantities of Schafer beer, wearing baseball hats denoting his favorite musical genres, feigning ignorance of various social conventions and scrubbing clams.

Sadly, his spectacular performance was marred by an ugly incident that followed his promising debut.

Upon leaving the stage, he allegedly bumped into a nearby table knocking several patrons drinks to the ground. When questioned by authorities, he simply responded, “How was I supposed to know?” and  staggered out the door.

Mr. Lonesome’s current whereabouts are unknown. The incident is under investigation.
