This is Evan from Hipster Travel's favorite Seaport show of the summer and he assures me that Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las, the Nouvellas (ex-Dansettes), and The Lost Crusaders (ex-Raunch Hands) are sure to please tonight. "Mary was 15 years old when she and her sister Elizabeth (Betty) began singing with identical twins Margie and Mary Ann Ganser in their neighborhood of Queens, New York. They soon shot into the charts with massive hits including Remember (Walking In The Sand), Leader Of The Pack, and Give Him A Great Big Kiss... Fronted by former Dansettes, Jaime and Leah, the Nouvellas are one part Stax Records, one part Black Sabbath and one part "good pop songs." The result is a 60s-influenced rock and roll sound tinged with classic Motown.. The Lost Crusaders -- comprised of renowned East Village rockers, including Michael Chandler formerly of Raunch Hands -- deliver rhythm and harmonies that combine all the good stuff -- rock, gospel, blues and country -- that conjure up classic Americana." All Ages.
