Lower East Side vet Mike Rimbaud took the name of his new band from a set of cute cartoon signs that reminded '50s commuters not to smoke or spit. But it's that dingy, subterranean, through-the-grate kind of glow that informs his scruffy-voiced rock songs, invoking '70s Costello and Springsteen along with an improbable hint of Brazil, the Baiana guitar (a surfy-sounding electrified acoustic). (Kamenetz) Village Voice.

I do a rockin' cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Atlantic City" on the new Bruce tribute CD, "Light of Day" " New folk singers (Mike Rimbaud), old rock singers (Dion), and representatives of the new wave era (Elvis Costello, Graham Parker), neo-country (Joe Ely, Rosie Flores) and so forth bring their own perspectives to Mr. Springsteen's best songs."

Playing at The Light of Day benefit concert at the Stone Pony was a real blast!
