Simeon Coxe has gone beyond the velvet rope.




 In the late 1960s, Coxe was a member of the Overland Stage Electric Band when he decided to incorporate the sound of a vintage oscillator into the music. He formed a new duo called Silver Apples with drummer Danny Taylor, and their debut self-titled album was released in 1968. The electronic rig of his own creation was dubbed the Simeon, and it featured 16 oscillators, foot pedals, telegraph switches, wah-wah pedals, Echoplexes, and more. Jimi Hendrix was a fan of Silver Apples, and Coxe jammed with Hendrix on “The Star Spangled Banner” prior to Hendrix’s iconic Woodstock performance.

Silver Apples were revived by Coxe in 1996. A new lineup featuring Xian Hawkins produced two albums in the ’90s: Beacon (1997) and Decatur (1998). In 1998, Coxe and Danny Taylor reunited the original lineup for live shows and a new album called The Garden. That same year, Coxe sustained extensive injuries in a car crash, including a broken neck. Taylor died in 2005, and Coxe continued to sample his drumming in subsequent Silver Apples performances. The last Silver Apples album was 2016’s Clinging to a Dream.

today 9 September - with Roberta Bayley -- Photographer - this is your invitation


 The two people who took the two most iconic photos of the Ramones telling all about their relationship with the band, the old CBGB scene and the group's transit to the problematic 80 s and their farewell in the last decade of the last century.
Roberta Bayley
, the genius that BA decorated just two years ago with an incredible sample ′′ From Chaos to Culture ′′ and took the best photos of that scene from 1975 to early eighties including iconic photographs of the Heartbreakers , Damned, Blondie, Dead Boys, Sex Pistols and especially the white and black photo we all had in the form of a poster, shirt or stuck on the folder of school that marked time, style and formation. The record cover that wasn't going to be and that is today reference worldwide of rock photography.
George Sebastian Walz DuBose
, the one who took half a dozen tapas from 1983 to 1992 and countless ad and live shots, the one in the photo of the silhouettes in the tunnel that was not going to be silhouettes and also gave chair.
If the Ramones had anything, it was a very strong image.
She and he were responsible for documenting it and tomorrow they will tell everything closing the episode Four of this very special Ramonera series in ′′ The Year of the Plague ": where always, through the usual channels and on the usual schedule.
