Yes, the rumors you've heard are true: My brother Lee and I are putting the Goldberg Brothers Band back together for a limited engagement summer tour. We'll be playing all of our hits, a bunch of the B-sides you used to love, the songs with the backward masking and, of course, we intend to do our patented Hot August Night show where we cover, in full, Neil Diamond's original live album of the same name. And despite Lee's late career marriage to Cher, his weight gain and the time he spent in prison for cutting a fan with his glass-beaded shirt, folks I swear he still rocks. It all starts this coming weekend and then all of August will be spent hitting some pretty major county fairs, parks with well-lit gazebos (Pioneer Park in Walla Walla, I'm talking to you!) and then one final night at the Cow Palace. Scorsese is filming that one for a concert film.
We'll be joined by William "Billy The Axe Man" Rabkin for a few dates, too, so keep your radio tuned to your favorite AM rock station for the details.
Here's where we'll be this coming weekend:
Saturday, Aug. 7th, 1pm
2940 Thousand Oaks Blvd.
Thousand Oaks, CA 91362
Lee will be signing his new Monk book (his 109th, I believe), Bill will be signing his new Pysch book, and I'll be signing my new Burn Notice book.
Saturday, Aug. 7th, 4pm
1306 Broxton Avenue
LA, CA 90024 (that's Westwood Village)
Same as above, but we'll have perfected our jokes and witty banter from the previous event.
Sunday, Aug. 8th, 1pm
7176 Edinger Avenue
Huntington Beach, CA
Just me and Lee this time. Bill has a parole hearing that day. This is a new store, so there's a good chance it will just be me and Lee and no one else, really. So if you've ever wanted to have a private conversation with us about, you know, whatever weird shit happens to be on your mind, this is your chance.
Geez, you guys could at least go to Murder By The Book so you'd come within 500 miles of me.

Let me know when the band's live album comes out on 8-track and I will buy it for sure.
Meanwhile, I have a book review on Idaho boy genius Philo Farnsworth who invented TV in 1922. go to http://cheezymovies.blogspot.com/
