The Fleshtones are Peter Zaremba (vocals, harmonica, & organ), Keith Streng (guitar & vocals), Bill Milhizer (drums & vocals), and Ken Fox (bass & vocals). Based in Brooklyn, New York, the quartet's origins lie just a few miles north in Queens, where in 1975 Streng and original bass player Marek Pakulski rented "The House," as it was infamously known, and found instruments down in the basement. To quote Keith: "How and why The Fleshtones started was that there was a place to do it!" Countless "Blue Whale Bashes," Lower East Side sightings, and an endless string of gigs and records later, The Fleshtones continue to record and perform with a wit, passion, and energy that few bands can top.

Remember, The Fleshtones can't change their luck, but they can change your mind! Come on in, and let's have a good time!

The Fleshtones at Riverfest 2010  29 June 2010

A big thank you to David Rocco for sending along a set of action shots that he took at Beacon Riverfest, Beacon, NY on Saturday 26 June 2010. Twelve of the best can be seen in the Gallery section of the website. The crowd looks both suprised and amused as the 'Tones really let it rip. One wonders how many "just happened to be there" punters were knocked out by their exposure to Super Rock. The expression on the face of the female photographer at the front of the stage perhaps says it all: "Isn't this fun!" Posted By Steve Coleman Add Comment | View Comments (1)
