Fake Holiday Weekend!
We've got a weekend full of ersatz holidays to celebrate. Hopefully, your job doesn't make you work on 4/20, and you can spend some quality time with your family on Record Store Day. And, if you haven't made your Earth Day brunch reservations yet, I don't know what to tell you. You can celebrate all of these, and whatever else you feel like making up, at some great shows this weekend, which also brings us The Asbury Park Music and Film Festival.
Things get started on Thursday night when Chris Carrabba's Twin Forks come to House of Independents. Whiner, Sunflower, LKFFCT, Hoboken Moms, and Basement Beers play Montclair's Meatlocker. Modern Crowds, The Mercury Brothers, Yawn Mower, and Primal Static are at The Saint. Lake Como punk hotspot, Paul's Tavern, hosts Sheer Mag, Sharkmuffin, and Teenage Halloween in what promises to be what the kids call a real "banger."
On Friday night, The Asbury Hotel has Cold Weather Company, The Mercury Brothers, and (I believe) the first-ever full-band performance from Wetbrain. Bobby Mahoney & The Seventh Son play APYC with The Vaughns. Dez Cadena brings his band to Brighton Bar with Jon Caspi & The First Gun, Zombie Mafia, and The Slants. Mint 400 records hosts one at Cathedral Hall in Jersey City that features The Ones & Nines, Don Kincaid & The Wait, The Skullers, Underlined Passages, and Young Legs. Mike & The Mechanics are at House of Independents. That show will be broadcast on a future airing of PBS's Front & Center. It's the second installment of the Makin Waves Rock Circus at Roxy & Dukes with The Paper Jets, Lowlight, Black Flamingos, Yawn Mower, and between-set performances from Vivi Noir and Vertical Fixation. Robert Randolph and The Family Band are at The Stone Pony.
Saturday brings a rooftop Earth Day rally to the AP Festhalle & Biergarten featuring music from Black Flamingos. New Brunswick's Court Tavern hosts a benefit for Elijah's Promise featuring Comb The Desert, Lowlight, Disposable, RockNRoll HiFives, and The Turnbucklers. Lots of Asbury Park Music and Film Festival stuff at House of Independents all day culminating in a late-night show from The Battery Electric, The Cold Seas, and Geez Louise. Waiting on Mongo are at Langosta. Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul are at The Paramount. Stevens Institute in Hoboken hosts Jeff Rosentstock, Hodera, and The Moms. Me First & The Gimme Gimmes play a sold-out show at The Stone Pony. It's Volume 2 of "Fight for Your Right to Potty" at Paradise in Asbury with music from Rick Barry and Geena and Dragster. All proceeds from that one go to benefit the TransYouth Project.
Record Store Day is also this Saturday. After a contentious senate confirmation hearing, Annie Clark (a.k.a. St. Vincent) is the official RSD Ambassador. The RockNRoll HiFives play Asbury's Groovy Graveyard with The Junk Rumblers. Check your local record store for events and what stuff they'll have in stock.
On Sunday, APMFF rolls on with "Beatles Day" featuring Marshall Crenshaw at The Paramount in the afternoon and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band taking over the space for the evening. Noise In The Attic is back to raise money for Monmouth and Ocean County Food Bank at The Inkwell in Long Branch. That one features Ashley McKinley, Alexander Iannone, Meg Cannon, Dan Whitener, and John Conte. Danny Clinch, Blue Lizard, and Kat Phunk close out APMFF with a show at Wonder Bar.
There is really a ton to do this weekend, and I'm sure you'll find something. Here's wishing a peaceful 4/20 to you and yours.
