Sick Feeling will play Queens again on July 23 at the Low Tide Bar at the Beach 97th concession in Rockaway Beach with Unstoppable Death Machines. That show is the culmination of a bus tour, which begins at 2 PM that day in Forest Hills, home of the Ramones, and ends in (rock rock) Rockaway Beach. Tickets for the bus tour are available. The Sick Feeling show is free.

The bus tour is in conjunction with the Ramones exhibit at Queens Museum, which closes on July 31.
