JOEY RAMONE Birthday Bash: Photos, Report Available

June 7, 2007

Thirsty magazine has published photos and a report from this year's Joey Ramone Birthday Bash, which took place May 19 at The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza. As in past years, tickets to the event — which featured a full set by rock and roll legends THE NEW YORK DOLLS — were entirely sold out even before the line-up was announced. Check out Thirsty's coverage at this location.

Ramone, who passed away in April of 2001 after a seven-year battle with lymphoma, had a history of encouraging up-and-coming bands in New York's downtown music scene by showcasing them at his special "Joey Ramone Presents…" events. Since his passing, his mother Charlotte Lesher and Mickey Leigh — event organizer and brother of Joey Ramone — have carried on the tradition "by keeping everyone that was close to Joey, including his fans, occupied and positive on what would otherwise be a sad, somber day."
