Yes, yes, you might ask, "Does Marlene play U2?" In a former incarnation, I was actually in a "New Wave" band in Manila, which covered U2 and Echo and the Bunnymen (among others) and had a few goth followers. It's been awhile so this will be fun. Details of gig TBA, but I do know Doug Rich on bass is joining us as well!
