The annual Hoboken Spring Arts & Music Festival is taking place this year on Sunday, May 3rd. Bands scheduled to perform include East of Venus, Yung Wu and Wild Carnation — all of which feature members of The Feelies — plus reunited ’60s group The Box Tops.
The Box Tops were a Memphis pop music group of the late 1960s. They are best known for the hits “The Letter,” “Neon Rainbow”, “Soul Deep” and “Cry Like A Baby,” and are considered a major blue-eyed soul group of the period…Vocalist Alex Chilton went on to front the power-pop band Big Star and to launch a career as a solo artist….

Chilton will be there as will 4/5 of the original group.
Feelies bassist Brenda Sauter plays with Wild Carnation, East of Venus has Glenn Mercer and drummer Stan Demeski, and Yung Wu includes Dave Weckerman, Mercer and others (basically the whole band has gigged with Yung Wu at times).
