About this event
Since their formation in Carteret, New Jersey in 1980, The Smithereens have earned a reputation as one of America’s most enduring rock bands. Founding members Pat DiNizio (vocals/guitar), Jim Babjak (guitar/vocals), Mike Mesaros (bass/vocals), and Dennis Diken (drums/vocals) built a distinctive sound rooted in the melodic punch of the British Invasion, fused with the raw energy of American garage rock. The result was a catalog of timeless songs that continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. The band’s breakthrough came with the 1986 release of “Especially for You”, featuring the modern rock classics “Blood and Roses” and “Behind the Wall of Sleep”. Don’t miss The Smithereens at Borgata’s Music Box!
