Marky Ramone Announces Three New Zealand Shows

Marky Ramone is heading to our shores for three shows over late November and early December. Having joined iconic NYC punk crew The Ramones in 1978 to take over drum duties from original member Tommy Ramone, Marky's full tenure with the Ramones lasted 15 years. He is the only living member of the band inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the only living member to receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Marky's upcoming New Zealand shows will see him dig into the Ramones back catalogue to serve up plenty of fan favourites. Here are the tour details...

This November will herald the return of true punk rock royalty to our shores, Marky Ramone. Marky is one of the last remaining members of The Ramones, and the one with the longest lineage, having handled skins duties for the formative punk outfit between 1978 to 1983 and again from 1987 until 1996. An original denizen of the NYC punk scene centered on Max’s Kansas City (Marky also played with Wayne County and Richard Hell’s Voidoids with whom he appeared on the classic Blank Generation LP), Marky is keeping The Ramones’ spirit burning bright and will be bringing a huge haul of Ramones classics to venues across Australia.

During his tenure with the group, Marky left his mark on several seminal releases including 1978’s I Wanna Be Sedated, The KKK Took My Baby Away, Rock And Roll High School, and 1989’s Pet Semetary. For his current shows, Marky is digging all the way into The Ramones catalogue to deliver an absolute treat for every Ramones fan.
