You are correct!! They absolutely SNAP, CRACKLE and POP in their live shows. I've seen them play many times, recently in June in Manitowoc, WI and 2 summers ago at OscarFest, and they sound better now than ever! Do not miss it! |

Thanks for using my video frame grab from the 2004 Oscar Fest show. It would have been nice to mention that the image came from Oscarfest and the 2004 Rockford show.
I'll be at the show. Bad move by OTW to place Cheap Trick, Lee Rocker and The Romantics all at the same time and date. Nice way to deplete your audience for the performers that have a similar crowd. |

It would have made more sense to have Rocker, Romantics, and CT on an Unreal triple bill. Glad to see The Romantics agian, sorry to miss the other two performers.
That's Rockford! |

Should be a great show. Rob, sorry just used the pics that the Romantic's press people sent. Those are in their standard press kit, so I'm surprised you don't see them around more. Which one is yours? The top one is one they send as a post card. The second one is an individual pic they sent as a glossy. Number three comes from the header of their biography and the bottom one is another glossy that they included. |

And Ron, sorry for calling you Rob just now. Gotta look more carefully BEFORE posting. |

If the second was a glossy then it was from Tom Holoubek photography. He shot the show for fun, sent some beautiful (and I'm not being biased) shots of the band and never heard back. All he asked for was for some to be posted on the www page. They took streaming files from me and used them for their www, I have asked permission to have the whole show streamed on Youtube. Still waiting. I'll let the photog know they are using his shots. He will be pleased. Sort of like a belated birthday gift. Thanks for the information and THIS IS THE SHOW TO SEE. Well, that is if you can't see Lee Rocker or CT, both of those should be great, but one has to win. My pick is The Romantics. |

Just got back from seeing them play in Detroit AND Las Vegas--The postcard picture actually shows Clem Burke as the drummer.... all of the other photos show the current drummer, Brad Elvis. If you've never seen Brad perform, you are in for a treat! :-) He blends in perfectly with Wally, Mike & Coz, and a blast to watch.
The Romantics sound better and better every time I've seen them in the past few years, and I'm really sorry I can't make it to this show. :-( When they came out with their last album "61/49" they showed us that they are still out there writing songs and rocking it out.
One thing for certain, The Romantics enjoy and love what they are doing and it clearly shows in their enthusiasm and energy--add an excited crowd and you can feel the electricity in the air! :-) Hopefully, there will be enough time for them to do a few encores at this show, because if it's anything like the past few shows, the crowd will be begging for more when their set is done! |
