At long last, I got a band together! My intention was to start a simple, crappy band just so I could patter around on drums at our notorious smoky dives. We did become a fixture at such venues but we also got pretty good! Alas, bands fall apart so this live cassette is our sole offering.https://joeymolinaro.bandcamp.com/album/slag-live
The recent hosting migration of joeymolinaro.com has knocked us back to the “before covid” times. Since 2018 I’ve done some standard Joey Molinaro: a few Harley Davidson tours between Milwaukee, New York City, and Montreal. I also did a couple European tours on my Irish Honda. Of course I’ve been organizing gigs and trying new stuff. I’m going to try to stick some highlights up and eventually update my tour dates retroactively, but most likely a fair amount of that info is just going to be lost.
Now available on Bandcamp, via Gold Bolus Recordings, and at live gigs of this “living legend.”

Introducing my upcoming CD release from Gold Bolus Recordings:
JOEY MOLINARO – LIVE IN SWEDEN (GBR034)
Released June 3rd, 2018
streaming here,
Joey Molinaro’s work as a fleet-footed, far-out and aggressive touring musician is integral to his work as a violinist/songwriter/composer. Joey’s visceral, full-body solo performances are a balance of violin, stomping foot percussion and vocals. This mix can be orchestrated to be either fully acoustic or heavily and simply amplified, allowing Joey to bring to life distinct versions of this music from his home base of Pittsburgh, PA to locations scattered far and wide across the world.
Having cut his teeth in the notoriously fickle crowds of the USA in nearly all DIY genres (especially black metal, grind, and experimental music), Joey developed the material on Live in Sweden to capture the audience’s attention and hold on until the end. Having previously toured Europe by train, this recording was made deep into Joey’s 2017 European motorcycle tour, comprising 100 concerts in 23 countries. At peak intensity, with sound flowing from his voice, fingers, and feet, this album captures Joey at a live performance at Element Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden, and preserves him at his most dialed in, spinning out material that spans his solo career.
recorded May 14th, 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden
performed by Joey Molinaro – vocals, violin, foot percussion
