What's Going On: 1/25, 1/26, 1/27 & 1/28, 2018

Lowlight are back at Metuchen's Old Franklin Schoolhouse for a night of family-friendly, neighborly good vibes on Saturday.

Grammys! Yay!

Is it just me, or has this month just dragged on forever? Everything moves more slowly for me in the winter, so maybe it's like a theory of relativity thing or something. I don't know. I'm just ready to move on. Oh, the Grammys happen this weekend. Big whoop.

This weekend's shows start with Grayling, Ragged Lines, El Haunto, and Shark Club at Asbury Park Brewery. I think that one may be preceded by an early set from Brazil's Ashley Delima, but I'm not sure. Big Bliss are back at Brooklyn Bazaar, this time with Water Park, Sic Tic, The Rizzos, and MIGHTY. The National play some kind of Citigroup / Ticketmaster Verified Fan / Grammy Week thing at Irving Plaza. That's sold out of course. Looms, Casual Male, Seasonal Beast, and BOMBZ are at Knitting Factory Brooklyn. Roxy & Dukes hosts Doc Rotten, Houston & The Dirty Rats, and Alpha Rabbit. Harborland, The Carousers, This Year's Comeback, and Caveart are at The Saint. Norwegian poppy punk band, Sløface, are at Elsewhere's Zone One in Brooklyn with Winstons and A Deer A Horse.

On Friday, Static Radio come to Asbury Park Brewery with Hot Knife, Nervous Triggers, and Hot Blood. APYC hosts Sweet Joey's Thing Of Beauty, Lyons, and Holiday. Brighton Bar is throwing a benefit to help young Liliana walk again featuring Frenular Delta, Painted Young, and The Paper Jets. Snail Mail, Lomelda, and Fits play a sold-out Brooklyn Bazaar. Waiting On Mongo are at Langosta. The Green play House of Independents with Jesse Royal and Leilani Wolfgramm. Pete International Airport take their tour to The Saint in Asbury with Soraia and Frankenstein 3000. Le Rug, Fiasco, TURBOSLEAZE, and Lost Boy ? play Brooklyn's Sunnyvale. Dentist head up to Union for a house show with American Lions, Brewster, Redhouse/Bluehouse, and Matthew Colin.

Quality Living, The Afraid Brigade, pioneer the eel, The Components, and Antoine Poncelet play New Brunswick's Court Tavern on Saturday. The Idea Men, Coach N Commando, and Grin N Bear (final show) are at APYC. One of my all-time faves, Tommy James & The Shondells, play Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown. Lowlight are back home at Old Franklin Schoolhouse in Metuchen with The RockNRoll HiFives and Coach N Commando. Nicole Atkins is back in Jerz for a show at Montclair's Outpost in the Burbs.

The Chubby Pickle in Highlands hosts a fundraiser for The Project Matters on Sunday featuring Justin & Alina, Colton Kayser, Aunt D and The Boys, and Tyler Safert. Long Neck are at Monty Hall in Jersey City with Mikey Erg and Adult Mom. Fruit & Flowers play Rough Trade NYC on Sunday with Lola Pistola, Dances, and Sic Tic. Princes of Tides DJ a free hang at The Saint.

Have a great final weekend of the longest month ever. I hope your favorite wins a Grammy. Don't drink and drive.
