In August, New York City recognized the 50th anniversary of the first-ever live performance of the Ramones, the seminal rock ‘n roll band that reminded listeners that simple and fast were good for music.

Drummer Marky Ramone wasn’t there of course — he would first join the band in 1978 — but he certainly left his mark on the storied legacy of the world’s most fantastic punks. But as fate would have it, the original Ramones have all left us know, and Marky remains to carry on their legacy.

This year, Marky developed a new iteration of his Ramones show and he’s touring it now. He recently visited Black Cat, where he stomped through a welcome bunch of Ramones classics on the drums.
