The Dead Johnnys, a Clash tribute band.
But for a few scattered special events over the last couple years, live music has been missing from the east side's venerable Crystal Corner. Until now. A pair of tribute bands built by music scene veterans will kick off the bar's return to live music: The Dead Johnnys, playing music by The Clash, and Loose, firing up The Stooges. Longtime Crystal music booker Joe Lambert reports the main stage is newly rebuilt, which will be welcome news for local players who navigated the trampoline-like boards in pre-pandemic times.
media release: Madison's premier "The Clash" tribute, "The Dead Johnnys" along with local "The Stooges" tribute "Loose" will be playing the 1st Big Stage show at Crystal Corner since COVID on Saturday Sept 24
