Jack Ely, the original vocalist for the Kingsmen, who hasn’t done a show in ages, is performing at a special event in North Carolina next month. Here’s the word, direct from the man himself: It should be announced through the blog that Wendy and I will be attending this: http://www.cammy.org We will be there [...] From Stretch Riedle, the uber-archivist of LOUIE recordings: Only slightly Louie Louie related but very worthy of mention: Sandy West, the drummer for the Runaways, has died of lung cancer.

The place was JJ’s Blues Cafe in Mountain View, California. Singer-songwriter Richard Berry was in town for a special performance Richard’s son Marcel Berry played [...] This week, thanks to my pal David at Punmaster.com, I received word that musician Michael Rivinius had died. I first met Michael back in 1989 when he arranged a show with Richard Berry at JJ’s Blues Cafe in Mountain View, CA. Michael assembled his band, The Simplistics, to back up Richard, and they [...] Theo of the LouieLouie Pages reported on yet another TV commercial that uses LOUIE LOUIE: While on holiday in the UK these last few weeks I stumbled upon yet another new TV commercial using Louie Louie.
