Steve Molitz Leads The Agents Of Mayhem In Tribute To Abbie Hoffman 

Steve Molitz, the keyboardist for Particle and Phil Lesh & Friends, will be reviving the spirit of Abbie Hoffman this Sunday night at Spiegelworld, a travelling venue currently set up at New York City's South Street Seaport. Steal This Ticket! - A Musical Tribute To Abbie Hoffman will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the anarchist's crashing of the New York Stock Exchange to throw dollar bills at the traders from the gallery. It's an act of protest that would be absolutely unheard of in today's post 9/11 world.

Molitz' Agents of Mayhem come with a fine pedigree for setting crowds astir. For the night, Molitz will be joined by guitarist Jon Gutwillig of the Disco Biscuits, DJ Logic and String Cheese Incident's Michael Travis and Jason Hann. Prior to the Agents' set, Hann & Travis will perform as EOTO and Logic will work his magic on the turntables. It'll definitely be a late night but what better late summer CounterCulture statement can you make than showing up late to work on Monday . . . that is, if you show up at all.

Molitz will also be part of the Region of Darkness, another jamband supergroup featuring Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction), Josh Clark (Tea Leaf Green), Steve Jones (ALO, Tea Leaf Green) and Adam Iscove (Allrise). They will play the ROXY in Los Angeles on October 16 and Winston's in Ocean Beach, CA on October 17.
