Arthur Alexander to Release Solo Debut Album ONE BAR LEFT May 4

When the scourge of rock 'n' roll crossed the Atlantic and invaded Europe in the late 1950s, most people thought it was just another passing fad from America.  But no one imagined in their wildest dreams that this “fad” would also be the force that would deal the fatal blow to communism and tear the Eastern Europe's Iron Curtain to shreds. No amount of Soviet tanks and bayonets was a match for this tsunami. But a young kid growing up in Warsaw, Poland, did know.  He heard that sound and knew instantly this was BIG; this was no fad, this was the sound of rebellion. Hearing Bob Dylan's words, '... But even the President of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked,' he knew it was time to kick ass - with electric guitar. Lucky for him, the communist authorities didn't take kindly to his ideas and, in no time at all, kicked his ass - straight out of the country.

And this Monday, May 20th, John Bantay will do his farewell SPIN as he leaves to continue pursuing his career and becomes a stage manager at the long-running musical, Avenue Q.
