Fragglerock and why Deborah Harry kicks ass
from the late 90's until around 2002, there was a great party that toured the rock club circuit called Fragglerock. Fragglerock was put together by some of the East Village's hottest promoters and drew a wild and mixed party crowd. but what made it great was a house band made up of local rock legends, that would cover one well known 80's band for each party. they'd practice until they had the songs down, dress up as the band did, and cover their best tunes (big hits and underground classics.) from Guns 'n' Roses to Heart - this was not a joke cover night, the band took it seriously, and every party was KILLER! here's one of our favorite stories from one of those nights....

the party's at Acme Underground, a down and dirty, rock space below Acme restaurant and Blondie is the theme of the night. the house is packed and everyone in the room is shoulder to shoulder. the band's amazing and the crowd is jumping. listening to Rapture, someone over our shoulder is singing along kinda loudly. so we turn around and it's... DEBORAH HARRY! she looks fabulous and is totally rocking out with the rest of the room and gives us a big smile! how fucking awesome is that - Debbie Harry checking out a cover night of her own music! a true rock goddess.
