NJ Music Odds and Ends: Thomas Wesley Stern, Happy Mondays, Vote for Lost Romance

Dentist plays Happy Mondays at The Wonder Bar tomorrow night.
Pre- and Post- Super Stuff

New Jersey is hosting today's game, but that fact appears to be lost on much of the country. Well, there are a few things you can do over the next couple of days to show some support for New Jersey music anyway. As you get ready to decide which huge corporation tried to sell you stuff in the funniest, sexiest, most interesting way, think about adding one or two of these to your plans.

Thomas Wesley Stern will be playing two sets of their fun and foot stomping roots revival music for this Sunday's Country Comfort at Langosta Lounge between 1pm and 4pm today. It's an excellent way to get back to basics -- and to enjoy an excellent Bloody Mary -- before the sensory onslaught of today's game.

Tomorrow will be the first February edition of The Wonder Bar's Happy Mondays. It's an all-NJ edition featuring New Brunswick's Lovelectric, Trans Charger Metropolis (whose "A Less Dense Dimension" made Alex Rosen's list of best local songs of 2013), and our good friends, Asbury Park's lo-fi dream poppers, Dentist.

Also tomorrow, voting opens for 2014's Hard Rock Rising competition. It's billed as a "global battle of the bands," and New Brunswick alt rock band, Lost Romance, will be competing. You can head over to Hard Rock New York's Facebook page to cast your vote starting tomorrow. All the details of the contest are available at Lost Romance's website.

See that? You've got plenty of chances to support New Jersey and its music, and you don't have to miss a single, big commercial.

Have fun. Enjoy the game. Don't drink and drive. And, remember, you probably have to work tomorrow.
