The Doughboys at Sullivan Music Hall NYC

See THE DOUGHBOYS live as they celebrate the release of ACT YOUR RAGE at Sullivan Hall in NYC on Friday, February 5, 2010; at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ on Friday, February 12, and at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ on Saturday, February 13, 2010.

They’ve done it again! Plainfield, NJ’s favorite sons, THE DOUGHBOYS, have come up with another stupendous slice of the catchiest rock’n’roll this side of the Passaic River!

Their second album ACT YOUR RAGE took the world by storm on January 1, 2010 when THE DOUGHBOYS unleashed sixteen new songs concocted once again with the able assistance of recording engineer KURT REIL (Grip Weeds) & mastering engineer ED STASIUM (Ramones, Living Colour, Smithereens, Marshall Crenshaw).

Two songs from ACT YOUR RAGE - I’M NOT YOUR MAN and WHY CAN’T SHE SEE ME? - have already been chosen as the Coolest Songs In The World by LITTLE STEVEN VAN ZANDT on his UNDERGROUND GARAGE show on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio! You may recall that THE DOUGHBOYS’ first single off their debut album, BLACK SHEEP, was likewise honored by LITTLE STEVEN & CO. & in fact was named the #2 Coolest Song in the World for all of 2008!

THE DOUGHBOYS consist of Myke Scavone, lead vocals; Richard X. Heyman, drums & vocals; Gar Francis, guitar & vocals; & Mike Caruso, bass & vocals. THE DOUGHBOYS were one of the most popular of central Jersey’s bands in the ‘60’s. Mike & Richie formed the group with guitarist Willy Kirchofer in the fall of ‘64 & called it The Ascots. A year later Mike Farina & Myke Scavone from rival band The Apollos came on board. The Ascots changed their name to The Doughboys in ‘66 & got a recording contract with Bell Records by winning a battle-of-the-bands on Zacherle’s Disc-o-teen TV show. They put out two singles – “Rhoda Mendelbaum” & “Everybody Knows My Name”, as the band played weekly WMCA Good Guys shows all over the tri-state area.
