SINNERS NEWS RENDEZVOUS by Luce Mandlebaum, President, Steel Pier Sinners Fan Club In addition to rapidly approaching tour dates in Cleveland and Pittsburgh (lucky rust belters!), I'm happy to report that your favorite band and mine (no, not Mountain!) is back in the studio! Under the strict tutelage of producer/musician/guru Mike "Like a Mother Fucker" Fornatale, the Sinners are finally buckling down and making that funky-hot slab o' wax we all knew they could. The band is atypically mum on the initial sessions, but after some coaxing, report that "it's all good." When reached for comment, producer Fornatale had no comment, but sources close to this writer report overhearing him exclaim: "Eight tracks of cowbell, theramin, and slide whistle?! Somebody get those damn kids outta my studio!" Good luck and rock on, Sinners!

Tuesday, July 13-- After winning a slot in Little Steven’s Underground Garage semi-finals Friday night, the Steel Pier Sinners won the regional finals round on their home turf in Asbury Park, NJ at The Stone Pony Saturday night. The band will perform at Irving Plaza in NYC, Friday July 23rd with nine other winning bands and headliner act, Rocket to the Crypt.

Steel Pier Sinners were the last band to perform at Saturday night’s regional finals competition. The band exploded with gritty, twangy garage energy for 15 minutes and stole the stage. It may not have been the band’s tightest set, but The Sinners played with more heart, determination and drive than ever before. When announcing the winner, Mike Fornatale of the Underground Garage, said, “This decision came down to what is garage. When I heard this band, it made me feel like the first time I heard Louie, Louie by the Kingsmen.”

“There is no way I thought he meant us. The three other bands we played
with: Anything People (NY), No Soap Radio (NJ) and Somebody’s Muther (MI) were amazing.”, said Steel Pier Sinners’ lead vocalist/guitarist Trina Scordo. Then Mike Fornatale announced, “I said it last night and I will say it again, the after-party is at their house.”

At that moment the band new they had won; so had their friends and fans in the audience who came up on stage to join in the celebration. And yes, their was an after-party at their house in Asbury Park that when on until 5:30 Sunday morning, complete with a brief display of street fireworks.

Steel Pier Sinners will play at The Milky Way Bar in Jamaica Plain, MA this Friday, July 16th. Their next local show is Tuesday, July 20th at The Wonder Bar is Asbury Park, NJ. Then it is on to the Underground Garage Finals July 23rd at Irving Plaza in NYC.
