"Sister Do" and "Son of My Father", two tracks featured on "9 o'clock in the Afternoon" will be appearing in the film "I'm Reed Fish" premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday, April 29th showing 6pm at the Regal Cinemas in NYC. For further details and screenings ---> www.tribecafilmfestival.org
Speedsters and Dopers were founded in NYC, in June of 00 by former Fishermen's Stew and Wooden Soldiers' songwriter, Greg Di Gesu. After 19 years as a guitar- playing singer, Di Gesu has decided to free his hands by laying down the guitar and leaving the instrumentation to others. The result is Speedsters and Dopers. This decision has enabled him to focus his attention on the lyrics and their delivery while relying on the band to interpret his songs. Abandoning the idea of a "revolving door of musicians", as established in Fishermen's Stew, Di Gesu has now assembled a group of musicians he has known and played with over the years. The combination and vibe of these close friends has created a band..a difficult occurrence by any means! Dan Green (GIFT HORSE / SKYWRITER) is on bass and Jeff Kolber (BRENDA KAHN / MIMIROCK ) on guitar. Drummer Phil Cimino and keyboardist Billy Donohue are also in attendance, both having toured extensively in JOHN CALE's band. Jack Petruzzelli (JOAN OSBORNE / VANESSA PARADIS / FAB FAUX ) completes the sound with his amazing innovative guitar sounds. After their debut gig in NYC, the band went immediately into the studio capturing the excitement and spontaneity of the music. These recordings made up the band's debut release. Besides being the group's songwriter and vocalist, Di Gesu
also engineers and produces all studio efforts (link). In his 16th year as a recording
engineer, he is visionary in the sound and execution of the music.
