What's Going On: 7/30, 7/31, 8/1 & 8/2, 2015

Smalltalk make their Wonder Bar debut this Friday with gods, GayGuy/StraightGuy, and The Battery Electric

Dog Days

It's always bittersweet when July turns into August around here. July is our busiest month with camp and two swim teams and all that. When the calendar turns over to August, though, things begin to slow down; and we can really start to enjoy the summer at CoolDad Music HQ. What's left of it anyway. It's my favorite season, and I always start to get a little sad when I can feel its end approaching. We've still got a little bit of July and plenty of summer left, though, to enjoy ourselves, so...

On Thursday WBJB continues with their free Songwriters on the Beach series. This time they bring us Howling Tongues and Captain Ron Santee himself. Saintseneca come to Asbury Lanes with Radiator Hospital, Accidental Seabirds, Bone & Marrow, and those lovelies in Dentist. Hodera and The Vaughns hit Maxwell's in Hoboken along with Help Me Help You and Archie Alone. The Lakehouse Music Academy's adult rock class takes over The Saint.

Friday is jam-packed. Something a little different takes place at Asbury Lanes with Red Oak Contemporary Ensemble, Quit, and our bud Mike Richison. The Toasters come back to Brighton Bar with Eastbourne and The Damn Long Hairs. AciD hold their release party at Eatontown's Cabaret. The Ribeye Brothers will be a-go-going on that one as well. Quincy Mumford and The Reason Why play Langosta for free. Stuyvesant and Brixton Riot are at Jersey City's New Park Tavern. Semiotics, Holophonics, Backyard Superheroes, and Wyland hit Rahway's Rail House. The Wonder Bar hosts a solid bill of gods, Smalltalk, The Battery boys, and GayGuy / StraightGuy.

On Saturday, Spinal Ramones and Streetwalkin' Cheetahs make it a night of Ramones, Misfits, and Stooges at APYC. Blithedale Romance, Dizzy Bats, Dankwolf, and Heavy Flow play New Brunswick's Candy Barrel. Grip Weeds are back at Langosta. The Dean Ween Group play the Pony.

Sunday brings The Cold Seas, Campdogzz, NGHTCRWLRS, and YJY to Asbury Lanes. The Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery holds the first annual Goat-Stock fundraiser with The Rock N Roll HiFives, The Porchistas, Sean Kiely, Sea Of Otters, and more. Stan Ridgway is at Wonder Bar. Deal Casino are at APYC.

I hope the summer is everything you hoped it would be so far. Plenty of time to make sure of that, but don't dilly dally. See you at a show.
