Our 3rd time busking in front of WERS radio in the last three weeks. Third time seemed to be the charm. Met all kinds of people from the radio station, the online radio station, the Emerson television station, and the newspaper. We're on their radar in a good way.

DAGMAR the Band, if it survives its first trip in November, takes its second terrifying trip to the wealthiest zip code in the nation.
We'll be doing our Dagmar best to spread as much of that wealth around as possible. DAGMAR, as you no doubt know, is a Marxist/Socialist band with Communist leanings, and, as you have no doubt heard, has played at a party in the home of Bill Ayers, notorious anti-American. In other words, we're in deep, and there can be no doubt about the fact that we are un-American types who should for our sins burn for all eternity in the furnace of Hell. We will no doubt get what we deserve. We have been very very bad.

DAGMAR the duo joins the bloody fracas as past Lizard Lounge Open Mic Challenge winners try to shoot each each other down in a competition for the Grand Prize. 24 winners try to make each other losers -- it ain't pretty, but no one ever said making music had to be. Things can get rough when there's cold hard cash on the line.
The 24 contestants are paired off to kill each other, so 24 becomes 12, 12 becomes 6, 6 becomes 3 and somehow, 3 becomes THE LAST MUSICIAN STANDING. Hosted by the irrepressible 24 Hour Tom Bianchi
The band OASIS (one of Jim's favorites) will be releasing a new album on Sept 19, and has asked Dagmar and other NYC street musicians to learn several songs from the upcoming album and play them in the streets & subways in advance of the album's release. After working with the band on the new songs on Friday morning, we'll head out to the streets to introduce people to the new material. Oasis fans will be notified of the performers' locations, and are encouraged to record and videotape the performances for web and blog postings. Dagmar will be on the shuttle platform at Grand Central Station from 3-6 pm.
A documentary film is being made of the project. .
