Known informally as The Fleshtones Hall of Fame, here is your virtual home for The Fleshtones, the four most exciting men in rock & roll. Since the summer of 1976 The Fleshtones have been blending rock & roll with R&B, and garage with dance and serving it from town to town across the globe with a smile, a great attitude, and lots of late-night sweat. For years, they've simply called it Super Rock.
The Fleshtones are Peter Zaremba (vocals, harmonica, & organ), Keith Streng (guitar & vocals), Bill Milhizer (drums & vocals), and Ken Fox (bass & vocals). Based in Brooklyn, New York, the quartet's origins lie just a few miles north in Queens, where in 1975 Streng and original bass player Marek Pakulski rented "The House," as it was infamously known, and found instruments down in the basement. To quote Keith: "How and why The Fleshtones started was that there was a place to do it!" Countless "Blue Whale Bashes," Lower East Side sightings, and an endless string of gigs and records later, The Fleshtones continue to record and perform with a wit, passion, and energy that few bands can top.
Remember, The Fleshtones can't change their luck, but they can change your mind! Come on in, and let's have a good time!

A big thank you to Adam Monaghan for sending along some of his classy black and white photos of the Fleshtones at Bar Loose, Helsinki on 6 May 2009. Eight of them are archived in the Gallery section.
The Stockholm Fleshtones Weekend was really something.
First the gig at Graven on the 30th. A wonderful place that´s was even stranger then some of Pete Z´s keyboard-playing. You had to walk trough the bushes to get to the place, and the entrance was two meters from the waterfront without fences. The place is just rock´n´roll! The crowd was wonderful and The Fleshtones made a fantastic gig – true Superrock! They were supported by the Sonic
Negroes.
The second night, 1 May, was at the classic Stockholm rock club Debaser. The Fleshtones was supported by the Norwegian band The Twistaroos. I wasn´t there, so I can´t tell you much. I heard that there wasn´t enough people in the crowd, though.
The third night was my birthday party (…the man´s getting old…). It was a crazy night! It all happened at a Stockholm restaurant called Pressklubben (International Journalist Club). The first band was the Swedish soul/blues band The Dogs, with Benke Skogholt on vocal – a Swedish version of Solomon Burke – with a voice from heaven. Then it was time for the wonderful Swedish band The Stupidity, very intensively played on Little Stevens radio show and up for a US tour in June! They were great and on their last song they were joined by Pete Z and Mr Streng on stage – look here:
Finally, it was time for the truly one and only The Fleshtones. They started a walk from the old cellar downstairs, coming up trough the crowd playing The Hexbreaker! It was a magic night with songs like Some Kinda Fun, House of Rock,
Destination Greenpoint, The Dreg, Supervindicator, Right on Woman, Pretty, Pretty, Shiney Heinie, Jet Set Fleshtones, Speedy Gonzales and more. The final song was Cara-Lin, with everyone (including
me) on vocals. I was on stage singing in the mic when I looked out of the window, in the middle of the song, and saw Pete Z out on the street.
The Fleshtones make two trips to Europe in May and June with dates in Sweden, Finland, Norway, France, and The Netherlands. Further details are on the Gigs page.
