At most family reunions, booze is imperative to survival. One thing’s for sure: there will be plenty of liquor Johnny V’s Family Reunion. Although legendary downtown dive Johnny V’s closed its doors last December because of an improper alcohol license, its spirit of hard-partying fun and loud, live music lives on. The Ritz is hosting a family reunion night for the bar, featuring a number of heavy metal and punk bands as well as DJs to keep the dance floor jumping. The lineup includes heavy metal act KooK, two-piece punk band The Has Beens, veteran punk group HBA (Hidden By Authority), Sad Boy Sinister and many more.
