Despite all odds, it's happening again. The Arthur Dent Foundation is coming together again for a special show on April 11 at – where else? - Tammany Hall.
ADF came together in 1997 with Keith McLinden, Jayson Graham, Bob Belanger (who is in The Weight of Gravity) and Anthony Rogers Wright, and often considered by many to be the birth of a local revolution. Adding Steve Mossberg on keyboard, eventually, the band was a phenomenon and packed Tammany as well as the Plantation Club (and we're talking Monday nights, here) on a regular basis. A funked out assault of jamming guitars, soulful keyboards, ripping congas and rhythm section, the vibe was right on for the time. Before breaking up three years later, the band shared the stage with Parliament as well as Run DMC. The lineup hasn't played together for four years.
“The idea for the reunion really came about,” says Belanger, “when I found out that Anthony was going to be in town from LA due to our good friend Greg Campbell's birthday. I was talking to him on facebook, and asked what he would think about doing a show while he was in town and he was up for it. I got in touch with the rest of the old bandmates who are still in Mass., and everyone was in. We are all looking forward to this. I think it's going to be a great night.”
