There was organised really great Ramones event/ exhibition/ festival called Rampe3 by Gerhard "General" Seckler, Lothar Felkel in Augsburg, Germany in 2003. I really enjoyed to visit it as well and you can find information of it from here. Now General Seckler presents a new Ramones Underground Art & Music Fest called Rampe4 from November 17 to December 31, 2006..
It's dedicated to Dee Dee, Joey and Johnny.
Festival will be decentralising in 10 clubs in Augsburg. Art as paintings and prints from Dee Dee Ramone, Paul Kostabi, Joseph B. Raimond, General Seckler, Knoxx, George DuBose, Lothar Felkel, Godlis and many more are displayed there.
In clubs are playing more than 20 live bands, like Gerhard's group Generation N, The Penetraitors, The Romeros, The Wreckers, Youth Against Authority, The Madcaps, Die Römer and Donnerbalkengefluester. The prices for the live shows are real cheap, between 5 and 10 euros. Also you can get a limited numbered festival ticket for the 11 liveshows for sensational 38 euros. You can order it online in the webpage from General, http://www.g-e-n-e-r-a-l.com
Famous DJ´s and first hour video jockey's as NONO Neumann (Subway, Metro and Ex & Pop) are also involved. Readings from some Ramones books will be done by Franz Dobler.
