Greetings all,
I’m gonna send a couple of despatches here today, starting with some unexpected sad news. Our friend and radio-promo hero Dennis Chuning passed away last week. Dennis has been a champion of the FAVES and some other Berkeley Cat Records artists including myself, in the Radio Indie Alliance and on social networks online. Love and condolences to his family and friends and colleagues from all of us here.
Also in memorial news, there will be a Greg Kihn memorial concert event on July 18 and 19. As some of you know, two members of Greg Kihn Band - Larry Lynch and Robbie Dunbar - now record and perform as part of the aforementioned FAVES. Larry will be playing drums and singing at the memorial, along with Greg’s son, guitarist and vocalist Ry Kihn, and other special guests. Click through for info and tickets:

Lastly, FAVES have two new singles in the hopper, and after we release those, we’re gonna compile an album with all the FAVES’ marvelous tracks to date. Cos why not?
More later today (I think!) regarding some other new singles just coming out now.
Much Beserkley love,
Eric Din
I think the Keystone Berkeley would be a much better location for a memorial show but... Well, we get old and really great clubs go away.
