Soundcheck Pop Up: Buster Poindexter
Buster Poindexter.
Buster is the lounge-lizard alter-ego of David Johansen, one of rock’s most influential singers. After founding the seminal glam/punk band The New York Dolls and beginning a successful solo career, Johansen unveiled his Buster Poindexter character in the mid-80s, and you’ve been dancing to his version of “Hot Hot Hot” at weddings ever since. Buster has been known to sing pop standards, novelty songs, rock’n’roll, and old blues, but the residency also includes a Valentine’s Day show; so perhaps the pompadoured crooner will have a love song or two for us as well.
