It seems strange to call them this, but Lost In Society are veterans. They've been at it for over 10 years now playing shows on just about every corner of the map with the likes of Taking Back Sunday, The Bouncing Souls, Bad Religion, and more. Tonight, Lost In Society celebrate the release of Modern Illusions, an album two years in the making, with a show in front of a hometown crowd upstairs in Asbury Park's Convention Hall.
Lost In Society recorded Modern Illusions with The Bouncing Souls' Pete Steinkopf and started streaming the record this week over at Idobi Radio. Like the band's live show, Modern Illusions takes off at a breakneck pace and never lets up. Current live set staples like "Not Afraid" come across with just as much energy on the album as they do live, and it should be something to see them performed once again in front of an Asbury crowd.
Joining Lost In Society on tonight's bill and releasing their own LP are New Brunswick's dollys. low year is a compilation of all the singles dollys have released since recording their debut Oh, Please. I premiered a pair of the songs here last year, and I think I've discussed just about every one as they were released. I won't say too much more other than to point out that having these tracks collected in one place really illustrates the brilliance of this band. Unconcerned with current styles or trends, dollys continue consistently releasing songs that deserve to be pop classics. And live, dollys continually deliver special moments -- from the emotional performance of "cornerstones" in front of friends and family at the Oh, Please release show to the audience screamalong that accompanied the same song last month at The Saint.
Rounding out tonight's bill are Asbury psych / garage rockers gods, Kyle Trocolla, and OC45's Derek Rossi. Lost In Society were part of what stands right now as the last show at Asbury Lanes, so it seems only fitting that everything is being presented tonight by the beautiful people who staffed that venue. Doors are at 7:30 and $10 gets you inside.
