| All Dogs at Asbury Lanes back in August. |
"Sunday Morning"
On August 20th of last year, CoolMom and I headed over to Asbury Lanes to see Seaside Caves. I've really grown to love their dark and moody new wave. It reminds me of my youth here on the Jersey Shore; and it's right in CoolMom's wheelhouse, too.
It was a Thursday night, and it was one of those cool nights at Asbury Lanes where the bill was packed with other bands I'd been meaning to see for a while: Philly's Year of Glad and Ohio's The Sidekicks and All Dogs. It ended up being a great bill from top to bottom, and I came away really liking everyone, especially All Dogs. "Sunday Morning" from All Dogs' excellent Kicking Every Day even made it onto my "Favorite Songs of 2015 (So Far)" playlist for what that's worth.
The band released a video for "Sunday Morning" this week, and it got me thinking. I get lots of emails about bands and releases every day. It's hard for me to sift through all of them, but sometimes something catches my eye. Sometimes it's something sent to me personally from one of the members of the band. Other times, I go, "Oh. I like this band." Often, that's followed by, "I think I saw them at Asbury Lanes."
As Asbury Lanes fades further into the past, that happens less often. We don't get that up and coming, poppy, punky touring band from Ohio on a Thursday night like we used to. Without Asbury Lanes, I may have blown right past the announcement that All Dogs had released this video. I may not have shared it with you. And then you might have missed this great song that reminds me, for some reason, of some of the stuff Evan Dando did with Lemonheads when he started letting his pop and country inclinations shine through. I don't know.
Along with releasing the video, All Dogs announced several tour dates. There's no New Jersey or Asbury Park on there. I can't help thinking that, if Asbury Lanes were still around, we'd be getting another chance to see All Dogs around here. I guess you'll just have to head to Philly or wait for some NYC dates if you'd like to catch them. In the meantime, check out the video for "Sunday Morning."
