Material Issue, featuring original members bassist-vocalist Ted Ansani and drummer Mike Zelenko, along with vocalist-guitarist Phil Angotti, have the 6:00 pm slot this Saturday at the 40th annual Taste Of Lincoln Avenue Festival. Angotti is well known on the local club scene for his tribute shows (The Beatles, The Zombies, The Bee Gees, etc.) and for his own catchy original material. Every now and then, he hooks up with Ansani and Zelenko, so this will be a rare opportunity to hear classic Material Issue songs such as “Valerie Loves Me,” “What Girls Want,” “Diane,” and “Renee Remains The Same” performed live. The Taste Of Lincoln Avenue main entrance is located at Fullerton and Lincoln Avenue, a $10 donation is suggested.
Tom Toomey, long-time lead guitarist for The Zombies, has a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the final step of his latest solo album Ice Cube. In a recent Facebook post, Toomey describes the album as, “a collection of everything from soulful reflection, bumping beats, insane cellos, my signature guitars, and the list goes on.” The pledges range from £12 to £500; with some pretty cool perks to go with them. Ice Cube is scheduled for a November release.

Other acts include Roy Ellis with The Aggrolites; Skavoovie and the Epitones; Five Iron Frenzy; and Catbite. A total of 38 acts, from 8 countries, are scheduled to appear.
