Dube who was the drummer with both “Looking Glass” (#1 Billboard hit, ‘Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl)’) and STARZ, joined together to take their decades of rock experience and history to play their favorite classic rock songs by the bands that they had toured with for most of the 70s.

The Dust-Ups- 1:05 pm
|
The Dust-Ups are an original four-piece alt.country/Americana band from north/central New Jersey. Influenced by alt.country pioneers such as Old 97’s and Whiskeytown and country legends like Johnny Cash, their sound blends a down-home country sound with punk rock energy. While they all call New Jersey home today, The Dust-Ups’ origins span from New Orleans (lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Ryan Chatelain) to Quebec (bassist Stephen Swalsky).
Aside from their collection of mostly lively, catchy songs, perhaps the most intriguing aspect of their live show is watching multi-instrumentalist Joe Palmisano shift back and forth from lead guitar to pedal steel to mandolin, ensuring the band’s sound never gets stale. The Dust-Ups also include drummer Alek Speck, who toured the world with the indie rock band Run Run Run. The Dust-Ups, who formed in 2022, are currently working on their debut album. Website |
