Jesse Malin has confirmed the final extension of his autobiographical stage show Silver Manhattan. The performance piece, which falls between a full-band concert and one-man show, will now run through May 10 at New York’s Bowery Palace, the venue situated on the former site of Bowery Electric. In addition, Malin has released a video for his new single “Hollywood Forever,” which pays tribute to Howie Pyro, his best friend and D Generation bassist, who died on May 4, 2022, after a long struggle with a failed liver.

Pyro and Malin’s friendship is a key part of the Silver Manhattan story. “Howie could get along with anybody,” Malin said in a statement. “He was friends with both Johnny and Joey Ramone. Hells Angels, skinheads, drag queens, comic-book nerds, art collectors, fashionistas—they all loved him. He would always say, if he had to go, Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the place he’d want to be buried. Howie’s friends made it happen. Vampira is buried there, Jayne Mansfield, Dee Dee Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Toto the dog, Burt Reynolds and his friends Mark Lanegan and Chris Cornell are nearby.”

Pyro’s longtime friend Marti Wilkerson, the “sixth member” of D Generation, directed the video and shot every photograph featured throughout it, including rarely seen photos from the ‘90s, and Pyro’s own monster memorabilia—most of which is also on display at 96 Tears, the East Village bar inspired by the bassist’s singular career. The video was edited by Rebecca Stern.

“My play Silver Manhattan is a love letter to New York City, and it’s also a love letter to Howie,” Malin says of the show, which begins on the anniversary of Howie’s passing, when Malin suffered a paralyzing spinal stroke at a dinner party celebrating Howie’s life. “I didn’t make it to the end of that party. I ended up in the hospital for three months, but I did write this song to show him how much he meant to me. It’s our story.”

“Hollywood Forever” features contributions from The Hold Steady guitarist Tad Kubler, Jimmy G from Murphy’s Law and Malin’s longtime band—Derek Cruz (guitar), Rob Clores (keys), Paul Garisto (drums) and James Cruz (bass). The B-Side is “Rudie Can’t Fail” by The Clash.

Malin also recently released his first book,  Almost Grown: A New York Memoir on Akashic Books.
