DES ROCS EXPLODES WITH “WAYNE” LIVE VIDEO “…like a jack-o-lantern doing coke on the N train…”

NEW YORK, NY – THURSDAY, June 18, 2020 – On February 28, just before COVID-19, protest marches and riots turned the world upside down, New York’s own Des Rocs commanded the Newport Music Hall stage in Columbus, OH.  The set began with an intro courtesy of Richard Strauss’ kaleidoscopic “Also sprach Zarathustra,” and then erupted into an electrifying frenzy of dynamic, breathless, riff-driven rock’n’roll.  As one reviewer put it, “No matter where the band is on the bill, Des Rocs plays like they are the headliners.”  From that performance, this is Des Rocs’ “Wayne.”
