No Tomorrow Records Presents
THE BOWERY ELECTRIC EP


Today it is three years since Joey Ramone left us. It has been a
long time since we have been wanting to play tribute to the greatest
punk singer ever, but we wanted to do it right. It has taken us
three years but here it is at last.

A few days after the death of Joey Ramone, the Ramones Creative
Director, Arturo Vega heard a song that moved him deply. The song
had been written by a New York song writer named Jed Davis to honor
Joey. The song lamented Joey's death while celebrating his
connection with music, his fans, and New York City. Specially his
own neighborhood around the avenue better known as "The Bowery" in
the East Village. Arturo knew that SOMETHING needed to be done with
it. But what?


Longtime Ramones/Joey Ramone producer Daniel Rey was a fan of "The
Bowery Electric" as well. Daniel had heard the song while working
with Jed's band, and he wanted to record it. Arturo played the song
for Tommy, Marky and CJ Ramone - they all liked it and agreed to be
part of the project. The idea of a tribute from "Joey's Musical
Family" was born. Jed and Arturo decided to call the song "The
Bowery Electric"


In March, 2002, two historic recording sessions took place in
secret. Tommy, Marky, CJ, Daniel, Jed, and Arturo met at Loho
Studios on Clinton Street and fired up "The Bowery Electric".


BOWERY ELECTRIC CREW

Tommy Ramone: producer, percussion

Marky Ramone: drums

CJ Ramone: bass

Daniel Rey: guitars

Jed Davis: vocals, keyboards

Arturo Vega: executive producer


These sessions were significant for many reasons (besides the
obvious). This marked the first time Tommy and CJ had ever worked
together. Tommy's last Ramones-related production was 1984's "Too
Tough to Die"; CJ joined the band six years later. "The Bowery
Electric" is the first song to feature both great Ramones producers.
Daniel is responsible for the best of the band's later work (plus
Joey's solo album), and of course Tommy co-produced most of the
Ramones' early recordings. It's also the first song Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame drummers Marky AND Tommy both played on. Tommy produced
Marky on "Road to Ruin," but here he plays percussion over Marky's
drums.


"The song existed first," Arturo says. "The power of this song made
it possible for all these Ramones to get together and pay tribute".
DeeDee who couldn't attend the recording sessions, decided to create
a series of four paintings for the packaging of the music. The
paintings were based on a poem he had written when he heard of
Joey's passing.


The next step was to get the fans involved in the tribute, and to
achieve this officialramones.com organized "THE BOWERY ELECTRIC
FESTIVAL" The event took place in CBGB and it was a song writing
contest to honor Joey, with young non-profesional bands as
contestants. Five judges voted for the winner song and band NEVER
FORGET/GOINGPLACES.


No Tomorrow has the great pleasure to present this very special
package containing both songs honouring Joey Ramone and also a new,
exclusive song by No Tomorrow artists and much talked about punkpop
sensation Suzy & Los Quattro remembering Dee Dee Ramone. Pressed on
coloured vinyl (500 blue, 500 pink), contained in hard euro-sleeve
style cover and including an insert with the story of how The Bowery
Electric Crew came to be.

What about the music? Well, let's just say that all three songs here
would have made Joey proud. "The Bowery Electric" is a Ronettes
styled pop gem that is bound to be the definitive Joey tribute, with
highly emotional lyrics. "Never forget" is a punkpop nugget a la
Green Day's first album with great double lead vocals and a snotty
ending part that is pure Dee Dee. Last but not least, Suzy & Los
Quattro show their constantly improving potential with their best
song to date, a blast of melody, powerful guitars and hooks that is
and will be exclusive to this release.
