The Smithereens
Robin Wilson of the Gin Blossoms fills the shoes of former frontman Pat DiNizio for this special show.
The Smithereens’ three-decade history is a story of substance, integrity and persistence triumphing over shallow artifice and transient trendiness - of hard-working underdogs achieving success on their own terms by sticking to their guns and ignoring the dictates of pop fashion and music-industry convention.
Brandishing heavy guitars and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion Pop, The Smithereens carved their niche on album rock radio and earned a reputation as a great concert attraction with sizzling pop songs including:
“A GIRL LIKE YOU"
“ONLY A MEMORY"
“BLOOD & ROSES"
“BEHIND THE WALL OF SLEEP"
“HOUSE WE USED TO LIVE IN"
“TOP OF THE POPS"
“DROWN IN MY OWN TEARS"
