“Hey Ho. Let’s Go!”

And now they are all gone.

I saw the Ramones in a tiny club in Rochester, NY, back in the early eighties. They were brilliant live, bursting with energy and iconically clad in black leather.

No cover comes close to the original Ramones, but I did come across this early eighty inspired, dancey version of ‘Blitzkreig Bop’ that I quite like.

Check out Drop Out Orchestra on Facebook and Soundcloud, where you can get their music.

Cheers!
