RAMONE, who passed away in April 2001 after a 7 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 RAMONE's passing, his brother and their mother Charlotte Lesher carried on the tradition "by featuring bands that make great music and getting together some of Joey's friends to celebrate him on what would otherwise be a sad, somber day," Leigh explained.
Tickets are available in advance at the Fillmore box office for$25 ($30 day of show) or through ticketmaster.com. The Fillmore is located at 17 Irving Place, corner 15th Street, NYC. Doors open at 7PM.
