What's Going On: 12/13, 12/14, 12/15 & 12/16, 2018


Champagne Jam

Big weekend at CDMHQ as CoolDaughter #1's big winter swim meet takes place. We'll be back and forth to Rutgers throughout the weekend, but I'll try to make it out to a show or two.

On Thursday night, Jonathan Tea, Blake Morgan, Chris Brown, and Michael Askin are at Asbury Park Music Foundation. The Front Bottoms bring their tour with Manchester Orchestra to The Fillmore in Philly ahead of Sunday's big festivities. Kurtis Blow is part of "Hip Hop Nutcracker" at Asbury's Paramount. Old 97s play a sold-out holiday show at Wonder Bar.

The Ribeye Brothers play APYC with Character Actor on Friday. Eve 6 are at House of Independents. Secretary Legs, Alright, Smock, and The Dirtee Blondes play a show at In the West. Ween are at The Met in Philly. The Bouncing Souls have a killer of a sold-out show at Music Hall of Williamsburg with World/Inferno Friendship Society and Worriers. Finding Feebas celebrate the release of their new single (more on that later) at New Brunswick ice cream shop, Surreal Creamery, with Longlife.

On Saturday, The Ophelias, Yohuna, Pom Pom Squad, and Emily Yacina are at Brooklyn's ALPHAVILLE. Worriers, Gladie, and Hit Like A Girl make up a solid bill at Asbury Park Brewery. Tragedy, the all-metal tribute to The Bee Gees, are at House of Independents.

Saturday also brings a rare peformance by John Dwyer's (Thee Oh Sees) OCS to Brookyn's Murmrr Theatre. OCS will be performing as an 8-piece band, including a string section, and features the gentler, weirder sound of Dwyer's early, pre-Oh Sees records.

On Sunday morning, you have a chance to catch Brian Fallon for FREE at Calvary Lighthouse in Lakewood. Later that day, The Front Bottoms bring their Champagne Jam to Asbury Park's Convention Hall for the second year. This year, they're joined by Manchester Orchestra, SWMRS, Deal Casino, Well Wisher, and more. On Sunday evening, The Vaughns are at Crossroads in Garwood with Walkney.

It's a big weekend. Have fun.

Don't drink and drive.
