Prince of Wankers


(Photo from punkturns30.blogspot.com)
Richard Lloyd, guitarist with the legendary New York rock band Television, is coming to The Taphouse in Norfolk. This does not seem logical or likely, but I've seen two different notices about it, one from a respectable concert promoter, the other from the local band scheduled to open for Richard, The Trauma Dolls. Oddly enough, The Taphouse's own MySpace page has a bulletin posted saying something about Richard Hell ... which would be insanely cool, too (especially since last I heard, Richard had pretty much abandoned rock music) but something tells me somebody's a bit mixed up. In any case, the date to remember is Sunday, March 16. A poster for the event says cover or tickets will be $20. Lloyd, in addition to playing with one of the most influential proto-punk bands of all time, also contributed some beautifully wanky guitar to some Matthew Sweet tunes.

Richard LLoyd & The SufiMonkey Trio with The Trauma Dolls at The Taphouse on SUNDAY, MARCH 16th. Tickets are $20.00 to see Lloyd rip it up and throw it down and speaking of ripping it up and throwing it down; The Trauma Dolls will be opening and those guys know how to bring the rock. Two great bands for one moderate price.
