Steve Almaas, a longtime East Village resident, musician and songwriter, died on June 5 at the age of 69.
He was arguably best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist for Beat Rodeo, a pioneer of the Americana and alt-country sound.
The video here for "Just Friends," filmed on an East Village rooftop, is from Beat Rodeo's 1984 album Staying Out Late.
A snapshot of a band, a rooftop and an East Village that feels both familiar and far away.
