MARKY RAMONE’S BLITZKRIEG OVER NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA

This November and December will herald the visit of true punk rock royalty to our shores, Marky Ramone, with concerts in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch.

Marky is one of the last remaining members of The Ramones, and the one with the longest lineage, having handled skins duties for the formative punk outfit between 1978 to 1983 and again from 1987 until 1996. An original denizen of the NYC punk scene centered on Max’s Kansas City (Marky also played with Wayne County and Richard Hell’s Voidoids with whom he appeared on the classic BLANK GENERATION LP), Marky is keeping The Ramones’ spirit burning bright and will be bringing a huge haul of Ramones classics to venues across Australia and New Zealand.

During his tenure with the group, Marky left his mark on several seminal releases including 1978’s ‘I Wanna Be Sedated’, ‘The KKK Took My Baby Away’, ‘Rock And Roll High School’, and 1989’s ‘Pet Semetary’. For his current shows, Marky is digging all the way into The Ramones catalogue to deliver an absolute treat for every Ramones fan.
