It was an epic night of rock and metal at D&Ds in New City, NY as the RCDM, or Rockland County Death Militia, put on its annual Christmas Night in Hell concert and NO APOLOGIES was honored to have been asked to play and kick off the evening's festivities. NA ripped through an hour long set of predictable band favorites, drawing from Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Lit, Lenny Kravitz, and more from the 90s. Followed by the bands Our Fears, Thunderstruck, and Morticia, it was an epic night of music!
Rock and roll with no apologies...
Keith Lenn is no stranger to the Rockland County, NY live music scene. He is one of the area's most recognizable bassists and guitarists, having played in several locally iconic bands (Detour, Threshold, Red Thunder, The Boulevard). From punk and pop to rock and metal, Keith delivers the goods each and every night with his high energy stage presence and "no apologies" rock and roll attitude. Keith currently plays guitar for the original pop-rock band Faster Than Light, bass guitar for Losing Our Faculties, and bass guitar for No Apologies.
Vin's 50th Birthday Bash with The Lazy Sods, The Layovers, and Shirley is Hot
The big event at Foggy Bottom in New City, NY back on December 1st for Vinnie Celetti Walker's 50th Birthday Bash was an insane collection of bands spanning my friend Vin's music career. I played in three bands with Vinnie - The Lazy Sods (a Sex Pistols and Ramones tribute band), The Layovers (an original rock band), and Shirley is Hot (a classic rock band). A fun time was had by all and here are some band photos from the evening.
The Lazy Sods - The Layovers 2019 (two different bands, but the same people)

WINTER BLUES 2019 IS HERE!
This might be the most fun LOSING OUR FACULTIES has each year! On the first Saturday of each January, the Sleepy Hollow Performing Arts Boosters put on an extravaganza at the famed TARRYTOWN MUSIC HALL in Tarrytown, NY, just a short thirty minute train ride north from Manhattan. This year, LOSING OUR FACULTIES has been asked to headline the festivities and, well, how could we say no? It's an expensive ticket, but well worth the investment for our community's performing arts programs. I hope you can make it out to see us and the other great bands on the bill!
DEC 2018 and JAN 2019 shows...
LOSING OUR FACULTIES - JANUARY 11, 2019 - THE PLACE - NEW CITY, NY!
LOSING OUR FACULTIES has two big shows coming up in January. We will be back in Rockland County - New City, to be exact, at The Place - we had a great turnout last time around and this date should prove to be even more epic than the last time we were there! Here is the concert poster for the gig! #rock #country #metal
We also have a huge announcement coming up for January 5th - I'll give you a hint - we do this every first Saturday of the new year!
3 Sets of Music in December - CONCERT POSTERS BELOW
December seems to be a bit of a strange month for me musically... My two main bands, No Apologies and Losing our Faculties, are not playing any full evening gigs this December, but I am partaking in some really cool events instead.
December 1, 2018 at Foggy Bottom Tavern, New City, NY 8:30 PM: My friend Vinnie is celebrating his 50th birthday by reforming all of the bands he has ever played in for one night of crazy rock and roll fun! I've been fortunate enough to play with Vinnie in three bands, so I will be representing The Lazy Sods, a Sex Pistols and Ramones tribute band, on bass, Sonny Lee and the Layovers, also on bass, and then Shirley is Hot, a classic rock cover band, in which I will play guitar. It's going to be a lot of fun for a lot of people as all of our musician friends reunite on one stage for a terrific evening!
December 8, 2018 at D&Ds in New City, NY 9:00 PM: NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN HELL - You get four terrific bands - Morticia, Our Fears, my band NO APOLOGIES, and AC/DC cover band Thunderstruck (of which I had an audition for many years ago and could not make it due to a blizzard and never did audition for them because of that). This will be a special night for us because NO APOLOGIES guitarist Ron Roberto will be playing his last show with the band before moving on to a new home out of state. It will be bittersweet, but I am looking forward to the show and showing Thunderstruck how badly they goofed!
December 22, 2018 at Foggy Bottom Tavern, New City, NY Time TBD: I get to do one last gig with Ron Roberto as we get to play a set together in SRO - a band in which I was a founding member. I'll be playing bass and still waiting for a set list! It will be a fun evening as every incarnation of SRO (almost) will be represented.
TARRYTOWN ROCKED!
Tarrytown, NY - you guys rocked! The Setback Inn is Losing Our Faculties' home base of sorts and once again we had an amazing packed house and you guys stayed all night! We even exhausted our normal three sets and went into our bonus set - stuff we don't rehearse ever - Blink 182, Rick Springfield, the Doobie Brothers... not to mention our standard venue-killers from the Who, Black Sabbath, Whitesnake, Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews... here are some pictures from the show! We are taking December off, sort of... but we will be back in January with two killer shows to be announced at a later date!
NOVEMBER 10 - TARRYTOWN, NY IS NEXT!
TWO GREAT SHOWS!
FRIDAY NIGHT - NO APOLOGIES - NOVEMEBR 2 AT THE PLACE IN NEW CITY, NY: What a great show we had! NO APOLOGIES totally rocked The Place in New City, NY with its brand of "90s rock and then some..." The near-flawless performance was well-received as we cycled through our set of Nirvana, Better Than Ezra, Stone Temple Pilots, Foo Fighters, Guns 'n' Roses, KISS, and so much more! Sadly, this was our last full gig with Ron Roberto, a founder of the band... we will play one more hour long set with him at D&D's in New City, NY on December 8th so I hope everyone will come out for that!
SATURNDAY NIGHT - LOSING OUR FACULTIES - NOVEMBER 3 AT JUAN MURPHY'S IN POUGHKEEPSIE, NY: Damn! Another great performance from LOF! It was a special evening as we celebrated Brittney's birthday with a long-ass night of music - we must have played in excess of over 4 hours when all was said and done! We stuck to the script during our first two sets - Dave Matthews, Sublime, Charlie Daniels, Blues Traveler, The Black Keys, Lynyrd Skynyrd… but the third set got a little crazy as we let Brittney celebrate her birthday with friends while the rest of the band played on - Blink 182, Rick Springfield, Tommy Tutone, Def Leppard, Violent Femmes... and then Brittney came back and joined us for the heaviest LOF ever - Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath... what a way to end the night... we even encored The Devil Went Down to Georgia for those who joined us later in the night! I love this band! We are playing next on November 10th at The Setback Inn in Tarrytown, NY!
