Huffington Post: The 7 p.m. Bowery show opened with a performance of the show’s grunge-pop theme song, “Hey Sandy.” Originally, the song was performed by the indie outfit Polaris. This time, the audience was treated to a reunion of The Blowholes, a band from the show fronted by Little Pete himself, Danny Tamberelli, on lead vocals and bass. (Tamberelli currently leads a jam band called Jounce).

We’re proud to announce that our fearless frontman Danny Tamberelli sold-out TWO nights at the Bowery Ballroom in New York along with his fellow cast mates from “The Adventure of Pete and Pete.” From the Bowery Ballroom website:

Reunited for the first time ever, it’s Pete, Pete’s brother Pete, Ellen, Mom, Dad and Artie the Strongest Man in the World. Join the cast and the show’s creators for an evening of obsessive reminiscing about all things Pete. There will be a cast and crew panel discussion, an audience Q and A, classic clips and episodes, and much more. Don’t be a blowhole! Be there for the Petes’ only New York City appearance.

There has been some speculation on blogs like BrooklynVegan about a Jounce performance at the event. Alas, this is not the case, however we may have something special in store for the fans who weren’t able to get tickets. Stay tuned!
