The gig featured former New Groove of the Month bands Licorice, BuzzUniverse and Bugg Juice and, fittingly, saw a good amount of cross-pollination among the three acts.
During BuzzUniverse's set, a number of players trickled onstage, including area-saxophonist Tony Salva, who enhanced the group for the second half of their set, and Bugg Juice guitarist Marc Pincus, who played on the originals "Rock" and "In the Sun." The latter number also featured a surprise appearance by New Jersey folk/hip-hop artist Ross Sandler, who added original rhymes and dance moves to the tune.
Licorice closed out the evening's festivities with an extended set that featured covers of the Beatles ("Hey Bulldog"), Jim Hendrix ("Come On") and Madonna ("La Isla Bonita"). The BuzzUniverse Horn section of Brian Ciufo and Stefanie Seskin also appeared on the Licorice originals "What's Your Status in London?" and "Freeze."
