This weeks Broad Street Bash,
scheduled for Wednesday, July 2, will be featuring both A Taste of Middletown
and the popular Cincinnati rock band, The Menus.
The Menus, known for their
comical stage acts and off-the-wall antics and apparel, have created quite the
wake in Middletown as word spread of their scheduled appearance at this years
annual Broad Street Bash. Director of business, Adriane Scherrer, has commented
how she expects The Menus to be a major attraction and that several people have
been asking her, “Just how did you get The Menus?”. With tickets being bought
and plans being made for attending this weeks performance, you can expect this
to be a wild night.
The Menus played their first gig
in 1984 at a small west-side bar called Destiny One and have been around for
over 20 years, outliving many other bands, bars, and have seen the departure of
half a dozen members. The current five, Mr. Goldrainer, Mr.
Ryan, Jimi Orwig, Stephen Chiodi and John Castetter, have been together for over
10 years starting in January 1998. Having been together “from hairless armpits
to balding scalps”, The Menus have become one of the most famous and recognized
bands in the Ohio-Kentucky area. If you’ve never experienced The Menus live, we
strongly urge you to go to this weeks Broad Street Bash to see exactly what
you’ve been missing.
Also scheduled for
this weeks BSB, is a communal dinner with an array of food, sponsored by We Can
Business Incubator. This sit down meal prior to the bash will feature lasagna
from Stefano’s Italian Café, Cheesecake from Baileys Cheesecake, custom salad
dressing from Flour and Flower, Garlic Bread and Non-Alcoholic Red Wine from

pm. Reservations for this meal are not required, but greatly appreciated.
