Favoriting April 29, 2024: Thirty years ago, a Bubble popped (with Bubble "popping" live).

Bubbling over

Some 30 years ago, NY Beatle-pop band Bubble performed for the first time, wowing crowds at The Mercury Lounge. The trio of Dave Foster, Russ Alderson and Tommy DeVito (with additional members over the years) also performed multiple times on Irene's show. To celebrate this milestone, Bubble returns to The Mercury Lounge on Tuesday April 30th, and plays a live set for Irene's show, featuring the original core trio plus current members Mike Fornatale, Rembert Block and Charly Roth.
