Keep Supporting Live Music in NJ
Tears at a Condo Fucks show. Five encores from The Feelies. The entire club on the stage with The Everymen. Screaming Females winning new fans. Titus Andronicus performing Local Business in its entirety along with new songs from LP4. The members of Shellshag hugging on that stage one, last time. Ted Leo performing covers by The Velvet Underground, Rush, and Pink Floyd. Real Estate performing their unheard new album and two songs with Glenn Mercer of The Feelies.
I've accumulated years' worth of musical memories over the last six weeks. Thank you to all the bands. Thank you to CoolMom for putting up with all of my late nights. Thank you to all of the CoolDad Music readers who have made July 2013, by far, the biggest month in the history of this blog.
And thank you to Maxwell's.
You're all allowed to mourn the loss of this New Jersey institution today. After today, though, get out there. Support your favorite bands by buying their music and going to their shows. New Jersey has way too much going for it musically for this to be any kind of real ending.
Jersey City. New Brunswick. Asbury Park.
Someplace will step up. Go make yourself some new memories.
