They will entertain with all of the incredible songs, great performances, irreverent antics and special guests that you can only find at The Losers Lounge. Losers's Lounge was started by session keyboardist Joe Mcginty (Psychedelic Furs, The Ramones, Ryan Adams) and psycho-cabaret singer Nick Danger. Originally a piano singalong night at The Pink Pony Cafe on Ludlow Street in lower Manhattan, The Loser's debuted at The Fez Nightclub with A Tribute To Burt Bacharach. House band The Kustard Kings joined the show in june 1994 for The Mancini Tribute and have been the backup band ever since. In any given show, The Kings backup over 20 different singers culled from the always exploding NYC music scene. Since 1993, The Losers Lounge has performed nearly 300 shows honoring 50 different artists, from ABBA to THE ZOMBIES, sometimes with the honorees present: Lee Hazlewood, Paul Williams and Denny Doherty (of The Mamas & Papas) all enthusiastically attended their own tribute nights. Sometimes famous people stop by to sing (Nellie Mckay, the late Joey Ramone, Andy Richter, Parker Posey, Debby Harry, Fred Armisen, J Mascis and They Might Be Giants) but it's the talented group of regulars that consistently bring the house down. After 10 years of sold out shows at Fez, Losers Lounge now packs 'em in regularly at JOE'S PUB. There is a $25 cover.
