To anyone in the Long Island area, both of my bands have shows next weekend.
Friday night, June 4th...Metal Days, the craziest 80's hair band tribute in town will be playing at Ollie's Point in Amityville from 9-midnight. Check out www.metaldays.com or find Metal Days on Facebook for further details.
More importantly, on Sunday June 6th, my band The Mercs will be playing a benefit show honoring the memory of 11 year old Courtney Sipes at Napper Tandy's in Smithtown. Courtney was killed right in front of the venue on her way to her guitar lesson by a hit and run driver. The driver was later found and discovered to be strung out on heroin at the time of the accident, making this tragedy even harder to stomach.
Here is her memorial page:

My guitar player Richie was Courtney's guitar teacher.
There will be several bands playing throughout the day. The event is inside Napper Tandy's during Smithtown Day.
The Mercs go on at 1pm.
I hope some of you can come down to either show and be entertained.
