Halloween Highlights 2007

Well the band showed up in Hawaiian haberdashery and rocked the house with many of their standards and some new offerings. New set lists designed by Lou mixed the tried and the new. From Springsteen's Radio Nowhere to Guster's Satellite, the tunes were plentiful and powerful. Andy's take on Carlos' Black Magic Woman framed the Halloween scene with many in the crowd sporting cat, cow, bat and other alternate personae.

Meanwhile, the Allman's Ramblin' Man powered by Pat and Andy gave ample stage to the band's dual guitar lineup, Strat vs. PRS soaring above Rick's tasty piano. With Elio's continued percussion mayhem and powerful vocals, Michael's steady beat and soulful voice, and Lou's solid foundation, the night eventually ended with the crowd and band members equally spent and satisfied.

April 14th: Neither wind nor rain nor...

With the threat of the worst Nor'easter in a decade barrelling into New Jersey, AlterEgo provided its own heatwave to warm up Spring 2007 and counter the cold windy rain outside. Armed with a new setlist (thanks, Lou!) the band dove through their signature ecclectic repertoire. From the intro push of the Gin Blossom's debut hit, "Hey Jealousy" to the rousing Cars nugget "You're all I Got Tonight" the crowd was treated to the band's unique selection of tunes from all over the Rock and Roll spectrum. In fact, with the songs tight and the boys loose, smiles were seen to break even out even on Rick's, Lou's, Phil's and Pat's usually empassioned faces!
And thanks to the crowd....our fans, our impromptu backup singers and dancers always seem to seize the moment to heat up the place and show off their talent guaranteeing that everyone was having as much fun as the band that night.

Check back soon for upcoming dates and sound clips of some of the band's tunes on this site.

First Post

So here we are... the first post of what will hopefully grow into your one-stop spot for finding out everything about AlterEgo. Some of you may have heard us already and some of you have not. But no matter what your exposure to AlterEgo may be, we know we're the ultimate prescription for a good time. Be sure to check back often as there'll certainly be a lot of changes in the coming weeks.

Before I sign off, just a few words about the band. First off, what you may have heard is true. We are doctors. Well, not all of us. But in some way we're all connected by our professional careers and brought together by our love for music. Our individual tastes vary but our passion is the same. Whether its a quick block of Beatles in a new setlist or a jam to a Tom Petty tune or Foo Fighters, we just love to play music. Check back soon for a full biography of each current band member and some information on past members. We'll be sure to give you our most influential bands or favorite songs along with some personal stuff here and there.
