CALIFORNICATION PARTY REVIEW

MusikBLITZ presented its first event on Sunday, Jan. 25, with a Californication-themed party at Solas in NYC.


To honor David Duchovny’s hit Showtime television series, partygoers dressed as members of the show’s cast while downing Jameson cocktails.

Bronx-based cover band Famous Shamus played two awesome sets filled with a wide-range of rock songs—from Led Zeppelin (“Immigrant Song”) to Buckcherry (“Crazy Bitch”) and Bon Jovi (“Livin’ On A Prayer”) to Lit (“My Own Worst Enemy”). The band kept with the evening’s theme by performing tunes featured in episodes of Californication like Cheap Trick’s “Surrender,” the Foo Fighters’ “The Pretender” and, since many Warren Zevon songs are often heard on the show, “Werewolves Of London.” (However, the band somehow neglected to play the Red Hot Chili Peppers song that has the same name as the TV show.)


It was a good turnout on a very cold night for MusikBLITZ’s first party. And, hopefully, there will be many more to come!
