Rowe, (631) 344-5056 Concert Featuring Long Island Rock Band Argent Fantasy on August 1July 8, 2008 UPTON, NY –- Argent Fantasy, a Long Island-based rock band, will perform in concert at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory on Friday, August 1, at 7 p.m. in the Brookhaven Center. Sponsored by the BNL Music Club, the concert is open to the public. All visitors to the Laboratory age 16 and over must bring a photo I.D. Although Argent Fantasy is somewhat new on the Long Island music scene, the band’s set list is a cross-section of popular sounds from the 1960s to 1980s and includes hits by Jefferson Airplane and the Zombies to classic tunes by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Doors, and more. On the pop side, the list includes hits by bands such as the Turtles and Badfinger, as well as the grassroots sounds of the Doobie Brothers, Robert Palmer, and the Eagles. The band consists of six seasoned musicians – Marty Houlroyd on bass, Bill Blais on keyboard and male lead vocals, Angie Billings, female lead vocals, Larry Weiss on percussion and vocals, and John Yaeger and Dominic Cuoccio on rhythm guitar. The band members share a common passion to perform the music they consider to be an important element of their generation, and to them, the music from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s seems ageless. Tickets for the show are $10 in advance and $10 the day of the show. Tickets may be purchased through www.ticketweb.com or at the door. Advance ticket purchase is recommended. For more information call 631 344-5139.
