Pharoah
Live @ Crossroads, New Jersey (USA) - 15th October 2005
Hey all. Been to see a band you all prob know from the good old days. PHAROAH
(half blond/half black haired "SEX< GLAM<GLOOM" godfathers of
the 1980's New Jersey glam scene reunited in mid October 2005 for a benefit show
for a member of drummers' Nelson Popp's family who recently deceased. The show
was held at a small restaurant/bar/club in central jersey. The band played all
their hits "Enemy", "Gonna Get U", "Terrorist",
"Red Flag", "Mouth", "Frown"...as well as "I
am the walrus" and "Helter Skelter".....The band was cool as ever....a
little changed visually, with only singer Karl DeKira and keyboardist Scott Archer
still glammed up...but what the hell, it F**kin rocked so damn bad. I caught up
with Scott b/f the show and asked him why the band broke up so long ago, he said
certain members wanted to start families and get real jobs. Also asked if they
would be reuniting just for that night or if they wanted to come back, he said
"it could be just for tonight, i dont know" .....they were so good.
I took a lot of pictures I hope to have uploaded for Glitzine within the coming
week. You guys won't believe how damn cool the show was. I happened to catch info
about the show on a PHAROAH fan
site about a week b/f the show. The club Crossroads, located in Garwood, New
Jersey, had excellent food, and my brother and I sat right by the stage. The author
of the Pharoah fan site has assured me that she is working in conjunction with
PHAROAH to put out a BEST OF cd in the near future, as several labels have promised
this and have crapped out along the way. Any PHAROAH PHANS who want to write me,
feel free!!!! I will pass along the pictures from the gig this week.
