July 2: Don’t miss Easy Ed’s Summer Rockin’ Riot, starring Nick Curran and the Lowlifes (from Austin, TX) and Boston’s own Swinedells. Plus Easy Ed’s record hop and a bop/jive/stroll lesson with Miss Ariane and Miss Beck. This will be a huge rockin’ show! (See the cool poster, attached, designed by Mrs. Sludge.)
