At Brooklyn Bowl this past Saturday, the venue threw a going away party for Peter Costello and his wife Amanda who are making a move from New York. Costello, who is Brooklyn Bowl’s production manager and has worked with Peter Shapiro dating all the way back to the Wetlands Preserve, also manages Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, and is essentially the guy that makes sure everything is running properly behind the scenes.
Watch Scott Metzger Cover Grateful Dead, The Band In Rare Solo Set [Full Video]
For the couple’s going away party, guitarist Scott Metzger’s group RANA were slated as the headliner for the evening. It was the band’s first full performance (outside of an unannounced set at Three’s Brewing on 9/28/2015) since 2011. The New Jersey rockers, made up of Metzger (Joe Russo’s Almost Dead / Wolf!), Matt Trowbridge on vocals/keys, Andrew Southern on bass/vocals, and Ryan Thornton on drums/vocals, put on a two-set show that featured a guest spot from James Casey (Trey Anastasio Band) on the tenor sax for “900 Numbers”, and Costello helping out on vocal duty during a cover of the Grateful Dead‘s “Viola Lee Blues”.
