Grateful Dead Dance Party this Saturday Night

Friends

The Power has spoken and it is time to dance. The Assembly Required Show launches tomorrow night at 8pm at the Magic Stick at 8 pm. So much could be said on all that has led up to this day. But, nah, let's dance. Here is the final press release:

Michigan's premier Grateful Dead band reunites for a one-time only reunion in a loving tribute to fallen comrades Davey Thompson, who passed away in January 2008 and Scott Pridgeon who passed away in June 2005. Often assisted by Mr. Pridgeon and with founding member Mr. Thompson on keyboards, Assembly Required played throughout Michigan, Ohio and the surrounding area from December 1989 until 1995 in enough incarnations to warrant the name. All surviving members of the band who are able to make it to Detroit will play their first show in 13 years with proceeds to benefit the children of David Thompson. Confirmed at the reunion/benefit will be Mark Scialdone on guitar, Ted Tesorerio on guitar, Tim Baum on bass, Jerry Stocio on drums, Kevin Shapiro on drums, Will Osler on drums, Josh Zalev on bass, Kim Easter on vocals, Warren Nelson on keyboards, Matt Zalev on guitar and Joe Simpson on percussion. Other band members now on the west coast, Jules Ryan and Mike Borgsdorf are unconfirmed and Craig Rigby is being sought out (any contact info is appreciated). Come join us for 3 sets of music and Love paying tribute to our brothers, our family and the good ol' Grateful Dead. Dancing is required and taping is encouraged. Produced by Miko Steinberg of Now More Than Ever Productions with invaluable help from Dave Clark, Ronnie Moreley and all our supportive fans from years gone by. You need it now more than ever!
