Thanks + Cranston Dean + Friends = Pizza Bones


Friday Night Super Jam at Langosta

After the fantastic Laura Stevenson show finished up over at Asbury Lanes on Friday night, I made my way over to Langosta Lounge to see if I could catch some of the Thanks / Cranston Dean double bill. I arrived just as Thanks were getting ready for their set. John Muccino and Mike Costaney have returned to live performing following a busy period of touring and recording with their regular band, River City Extension.

After finishing their set with the excellent title track from their EP, The Age of Missing Information, Thanks had several friends -- including Cranston Dean -- join them on the large Langosta stage. Muccino dubbed the band Pizza Bones (one of CoolDog's favorite foods), and they turned in a set of jazzed up cover songs by Why?, Nirvana, and Frank Sinatra along with a medley of 1990s R&B hits. The whole thing was a lot of fun, and I eagerly await the return of Pizza Bones.

I managed a few photos in the dark and intimate -- and dark -- Langosta Lounge.
