THE SINGHS SING AT RIVINGTON IN NEW YORK
The Singhs
Randy Jones With Micki Singh And Robert Funaro
Last night in Lower Manhattan, the Boston-based group THE SINGHS had a most fashionable do at The Rivington Hotel, which as we entered seemed totally constructed in glass ... in their hide-away bar spot 107 Riv spot. The 5-piece aggregation has just released their new CD SUPERSATURATED (on Redstar*) which is without a doubt one of the premier surprises of the year. Laid back, atmospheric, and a welcome nod to the best rock-music of the 80s and 90-s ... the CD is an absolute must-have.After posing for some terrific-outdoor photos, the group went into a special set for the crowd. Live their music was even better and they were able to interject a nice, personal touch to their work. The title track was terrific, as were "Invisible" "Beautiful Thing", and their current single "Daddy's All Gone." Their guitarist Peter Parcek was absolutely brilliant, bringing the caliber of the night even higher with his inspired and emotional playing. Keyboardist Brother Cleve, besides having a wicked sense of humor, which we loved, was terrific as well. This band was just a knockout and I would look for them appearing everywhere soon. They were at Steve Walter's Cutting Room ... they should go back there immediately. The band, along with their affable-manager ART EDELSTEIN held court for a bevy of guests and friends, including, ROBERT FUNARO (The Sopranos/American Gangster); RANDY JONES from The Village People; famed-photographer ROBERT MILAZZO (fresh from a body-painting photo shoot with 2 of the models ... still in their war paint!); the PR-pasha-DAVID SALIDOR, who consulted on this party; the ravishing SHEILA MARIKAR from ABC News; KEITH GIRARD, editor of The Improper; the Singhs PR-team of RANDY ALEXANDER; MARA STEFAN and SUE AUCLAIR; the fashion world's PAIGE NELSON; and, lighting and sound designer MARSHA STERN. Funnily enough, the band, and Funaro were due to be on WOR radio's JOEY REYNOLDS SHOW later that night. Talk about timing! One last note: While walking through lower-Manhattan to the shindig, I marveled at how that area has changed. In fact, it's starting to look more like SoHo with designer shops, food emporiums and great restaurants opening up. and, I mean that in a GOOD way! It also seemed easily to breathe too ... if that's even possible in the Big Apple. Actually, I loved it down there. A nice change ... great evening. As our friend Madame Cindy Adams says, ONLY IN NEW YORK KIDS, ONLY IN NEW YORK!
