Out on a day pass!! TBU escapes to the ING stage for the third time.

Looking like a band of gypsies.....Three years and still runnING! It was the third time for The Big Unkle to take the stage at the Phildelphia ING Rock n' Roll Marathon this past Sunday, September 15th

For over 15,000 runners and walkers and even more spectators, volunteers and organizers, TBU kept them all "Dancin' In The Streets" as they brought the participants home over the last two miles with a combination of their original groovers and grinders and dance and Motown classics.

The Unkle Line-Up for the ING: From left: Tommy "The Kidd" Mosca, guitar & vocals. John "JB" Bigham, keys and vocals. Kristin Bigness, vocals. Eddie "Rock" Rothmaller, percussion. Alice-Marie Quirk, violin & vocals. Tom "Quirky" Theurer, drums and  John Henderson aka TBU on bass (and for some reason on that particular day---vocals as well.) 

"It's such an honor to do these kinds of shows." says Henderson. "We do a lot of community events and marathons. At these kinds of events, we go a little bit outside of our normal toy box and try to play more dance and pop songs. That's what these mugs want to hear. That is important to us. We "get" it. We play what they recognize and  what makes them move. And when you think about the tragedy at the Boston Marathon--it makes you understand how important it is to keep the runners and their families happy, motivated and unafraid. Folks come here to have a good time. They are here on behalf of many good causes...it is a very special day. We are glad to be a part of that machine. It is truly "not just another gig"!"
