THE WRONG HERO NETWORK

From the VHS vaults of Francis DiMenno (a.k.a. "The Wrong Hero", and various other pseudonyms). DiMenno had a lengthy stay at the Middle East Cafe's live stage, most notably: hosting "Open Mike" (sic) nights and providing comic relief between live bands (in the early days of the club). Starting in 1991, he produced weekly airings of "Cafe Cabaret" and "Noise Party" on local Cambridge Community Television (CCTV). These broadcasts showcased "Open Mike" nights at the Middle East featuring local musicians and artists, touring bands/artists performing at The Middle East and other clubs, as well as: comedy, poetry, and theatrical shows -- around Cambridge, Boston, and sometimes Providence RI. This channel will pay homage to the live music and other performances that Francis DiMenno is responsible for recording onto videotape. Most footage was shot by Francis DiMenno at the Middle East Cafe in Cambridge MA, unless otherwise noted in the video descriptions. Enjoy!!
