| Dentist helped bring together a solid bill of locals and out-of-towners for Saturday night at Asbury Lanes. |
A Show That Goes Surf, Pop, Rock
I'm getting ready to publish this weekend's listings tomorrow, and this is one of the biggest weekends of the summer so far. There are two big shows on the Stone Pony Summer Stage, but I did want to give you a deeper look at a couple of the other shows on tap. Let's go out of order and start with Saturday.
On Saturday night, Asbury Lanes will play host to a bill that includes local favorites Dentist and GayGuy / Straight Guy along with a couple of imports.
New York's Souvenir Stand is the project of New Jersey native Stephanie Cupo. Her three-minute pop songs are reminiscent of an earlier time with sounds inspired by The Beach Boys and girl groups of the 60s.
Philadelphia's The Pretty Greens also play with some 60s-inspired sounds, but they come down more on the surf / garage side of things. Their most recent EP, Jealous Waves, is three tracks that remind me of a less fuzzed-out version of early Vivian Girls.
Two local acts that I spend a lot of time talking about here round out the bill. Dentist, whose excellent, self-titled LP has been getting play even overseas, bring their surf-inspired sound.
Duo GayGuy / StraightGuy, who are working on new material of their own, will shake Asbury Lanes with their straight-ahead and always loud rock and roll.
It's really an excellent line-up for a summer night by the beach: Surf, Pop, and Rock. Doors for the all-ages show open at 7 and there's an $8 cover.
