  Bill: Towncryer Venue: Pangea , New York, NY Date: 5/3/25 Door: Free 9pm Towncryer Affiliated: Mirror Queen, Roger That, Hopewell, Ghost of Past Mistakes Active: 2021 (Brooklyn, NY) Another week, another night of Towncryer.  Two sets at Pangea in the East Village. Lychee vodka made a special guest appearance.  Lychee is sometimes considered a nut as opposed to a fruit.  Towncryer can confirm this with ease.  I was listening to Blind Faith on 8-track and realized they also did a version of the Towncryer standard "Well All Right" that Buddy Holly did in 1958. Not too many clips, a couple from the bar were obliterated by chatter. FOR FURTHER REVIEW:  Town Cryer @ Cowgirl Seahorse, New York, NY 4/7/25 Town Cryer @ Cowgirl Seahorse, New York, NY 1/20/25

Ironbound was the first band up.  Considering there is very little info about this band, they had a very full room.  Apparently a couple of them have some skater ties, but he sound was quality country.  The singer was wearing a Gary Stewart hat and the guitarist was quality cosmic rock. ...
