On Tuesday, May 20, Rochmon Record Club will converge at Caffe’ Lena, 47 Phila Street, Saratoga Springs, to listen to, and learn about R.E.M.’s 5th album “Document”. Doors open at 6:30, and the show begins at 7 pm with a live audio & video presentation by Chuck Vosganian aka “Rochmon”.
Every album R.E.M. released pushed this band of college kids one step further. Recorded during the spring of 1987 in the final 2 years of the Reagan Presidency, lead singer and lyricist Michael Stipe was on a mission and had something to say. The band mixed a harder rock sound with their acoustic sentiments and nails us with classic R.E.M. songs, “Finest Worksong”, “King of Birds”, ‘Exhuming McCarthy”, “The One I Love”, “It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” and 6 more. As always Rochmon will have some surprises in store! For Rochmaniacs at a distance, Rochmon Record Club will also be streaming live on Caffe’ Lena TV. Tickets at caffelena.org
A Rochmon Record Club Listening Party is meant to inform and deepen our understanding of the history of the individual performers, songs, and stories that went into the making of this classic album. By listening together, we hear the music again for the first time. Rochmon Record Club takes place on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at Caffe’ Lena in Saratoga Springs (caffelena.org).
Stream this show live at CaffeLenaTV. Enjoy two weeks of access with your live stream ticket.
