THE COUNTRY JOE BAND feature Woodstock legend Country Joe McDonald and Bruce Barthol, David Bennet Cohen & Chicken Hirsh, from the best line -up ever of Country Joe & The Fish - the band that recorded "Electric Music For The Mind & Body" and "Feel Like I'm To Die" and appeared at the historic Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Don't forget that unbeleivably they're playing "The Frog On The Front" at The Pyramids Centre in Southsea on Saturday 6th August! This is a great opportunity to see this legendary band in an intimate venue. The gig is being promoted by The Country Joe Band's U.K. agent, Barking Spider Promotions, in conjunction with Southsea Rocks. On their U.K tour this year they're playing the Eastleigh Summer Festival with The Sawdoctors, headlining the opening night at Cropredy Festival, headlining a triple header with The Muffin Men (with Jimmy Carl Black) and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown in Falmouth, and playing the Tartan Heart Festival in Inverness-shire, where they'll be sharing the stage with Scotland's most famous export The Proclaimers. Even more unbeleivable is the fact that British Home Stores are actually selling Country Joe and The Fish T shirts at present, whilst the Country Joe Band's new DVD "Turned On & Turned Up" is on sale at Tesco's (what happened to the revolution, maaaan?).... How legendary can you get?!? Doors open 8 p.m. and support is by ex Reet Petite and Gone member Nick Evans, who accompanied Country Joe on his U.K tour 2001, and Greg Buchanan. Both Nick and Greg are currently in the Dylan tribute band Obviuosly Five Beleivers. Tickets for the Southsea show go on sale on Friday, (price £10) from The Wedgewood Rooms Box Office (023) 9286 3911 and Reflex Records in Albert Road, Southsea - but hurry, they're very limited, and you can also chance your luck on the door or ring J.R on 07970 959793.
