Punk Nite with...

Almost There

Almost There is a rock trio consisting of Eddie Soles (guitar,vocals)
Zach Sicherman (bass,vocals) and Phill Serzan (drums). Zach and Eddie
have been in many bands together over the years, having a carousel of
different drummers. The lineup was finally solidified after hearing
about Phill who recorded drum tracks with producer Jesse Cannon. Audio
Takeover is their first cd recorded with Mr. Cannon which opened many
doors for the band. Their sophomore effort titled Losing Someone To Find
Yourself proves to be a more mature direction for the band, and they
are turning heads with every show they play. LSTFY will be released
February 2010.



Gone By Tomorrow

Gone By Tomorrow formed in the fall of '09. We grew with the intention
of spreading music, words, and inspiration to as many people as
possible. Every song written is a tribute to our fans and friends. We
have been working non-stop to achieve that goal.


A Criminal Risk

"We are three guys from Ocean County New Jersey trying to start a
life for ourselves by doing what we love most and that's playing punk
rock music. It's in all of us. Dan Ramaglia (bass and vocals), Tom
Kunzman (guitar and vocals), and Matt Vlossak (drums and percussion) are
easily known for their loud mouths and guttered minds whether it'd be
on stage or to each other. We're always going to be the same people on
stage that we are offstage and nothing is going to change. It's what
it's all about and that's exactly what got us all started on this in the
first place is, it looked like a fun time playing the best music we
know and love for the people in the crowd, or anyone around who will
listen. Just come out and have a good time with us."
-A Criminal Risk



Opening Day

Opening Day comes to you from Essington, Pennsylvania
with a simple idea: to return pop music to a time when it was simple,
fun, and honest. Five of the hardest working guys put effort and
integrity before trend and gimmicks; simplicity and catchiness before
complexity and obscurity. Combining more influences than your iPod could
ever hold, it's all there, from the energetic live show to their
earnest demeanor. This is your older brother's band, recalling hooks and
lines from the glory days of pop rock when New Found Glory and Blink
182 were leading the charge. Combining that with the devil may care rock
and roll likened to the Goo Goo Dolls and the Gin Blossoms, Opening Day
writes for the masses. Listen to a song, come see a show, hang out and
have fun with some good people and good vibes
-Opening Day

&

The Excitement Gang

"We've been a band for only a short while, but we've been hard at work,
writing songs, coming up with names, and discussing what drives us to
play what we play. With many inspirations from a wide array of different
bands, our true inspiration comes from punk rock and roll. We're not
trying to reinvent music itself, but put our feelings and what we've
absorbed over the years into our songs. Music is a form of art. Our band
is our canvas. Our instruments are our tools, and our music will be the
paint that pieces together our emotions, and create a picture. All in
all, we are doing this to have fun and to give a little back of what
we've heard throughout the years. We are the Excitement Gang"

The Zodiac Complex

"We are The Zodiac Complex from Ocean Twp. NJ and we're determined to
change the course of music. Made up of six talented and determined
individuals all sharing the same mindset, to create the most flawless,
atmospheric, melodic, and progressive metal yet to be played. The
writing process began in 2007, and now brings the time when it is felt
that it's the listeners turn to give their feedback on the music after
three long years of writing, molding, and fine tuning. With two
songs,"Transcend" and "The Absence Of Clarity", tracked for a demo, and
an EP being prepared in the next few months, The Zodiac Complex looks to
change the way you hear, see and feel music as a whole..."

Feverview


"Were playing a few shows right now and we would REALLY love to hang out
with you guys at every show! Our sets provide both enjoyable and intense
music, and kids come to mosh and go insane. We're 4 guys that are
purely about the music, we don't spend forever doing our hair before a
show, or get the tightest pants and the latest fashion trends, our goal
is make music that kids enjoy, and that will mosh their fucking heart
out at shows. After going through various lineup changes, our line up is
Conch on lead vocals, Jake on guitar, Evan on bass, and Nick on drums.
At shows we try and get kids as involved as possible, making them jump
and down and singing along, etc.

*friday nite at the Lanes with....


Tara Elliot & the Red Velvets

(red hot burlesque EP release party)



"Power trio Tara Elliott & the Red Velvets, who hail from Long
Branch, invoke the raunchy mix of blues and punk pioneered by Iggy &the Stooges."
-Jim Testa, The Star-Ledger


"These days, Elliott can be found wowing audiences as part of the power
trio Tara Elliott and The Red Velvets, a down-and-dirty combo whose raw
sound and red-hot energy recall the days when trash rockers like the New
York Dolls and their musical offspring prowled the streets of New York City."
-Alex Biese, Associate Producer of Asbury Park Press Metromix Jersey Shore

"Her ability to hold the attention of hipsters, rockers and blues
maniacs means mastery over the common social denominator button and most
importantly, possible attention from the ever jaded music industry
looking for something that's not phony bullshit."
-John Pfeiffer,Contributing Editor of The Aquarian/The East Coast Rocker


with special guests..
dancing girls..
Lily Stitches & Dangerrr Girl
musical guests.....

Hammel on Trial

"Hamell on Trial is the one-man band of Ed Hamell of Syracuse, New York. Hamell
typically describes his style
as punk rock. Righteous Babe records explains the
use of the term as "loud, fast music informed by politics, passion,
energy and intelligence, played by a guy with a sharp tongue and a
wicked sense of humor."


Spanking Charlene


"The collaboration between Charlene McPherson and Mo Goldner began with
an East Village bar flirtation that turned into a drunken slutty song
fest. After that long wild night, a band was born. Lakeside Lounge owner
Eric "Roscoe" Ambel heard that wildness in their first demo and booked
them at his legendary East Village venue. Their gritty guitar riffs and
soulful vocals enticed NYC audiences, driving them into the studio to
record their first album.


"Dismissed With A Kiss" reveals the heartache of the working class
fuck-up. Tales of a dog on Prozac, dreams interrupted by a job, and love
gone damn wrong capture the pain of an unwanted existence. Each song
vibrates with the angry humor of experience heavily influenced by a
bluesy punk sound---the sound of those that have nothing but their
dreams and perhaps an unremarkable reproductive organ or two.


No one said it would be easy, but if you spank rock on with Spanking
Charlene, it sounds better when you get fired/dumped/ and or arrested"
Black Vinyl Radio
Alternative / Garage / rock and roll from Point Pleasant, NJ
DJ Jack the Ripper will be playing the most interesting and infectious grooves that

Viva Le Vox

Viva Le Vox is a Roots Rock-N-Roll band headquartered in Southern
Florida. We've been described as a "full bodied religious experience"
and a "hillbilly zombie circus". Joe Buck of Hank III fame said we sound
like a "New Orleans death march". The jury is still out on exactly what
type of music we play, but you can damn well bet yer sweet ass our live
show will make you feel something in places you didn't even know you had.


Jason and the Punknecks

"Punk makes nice with Country"
-Rochester, NY, Democrat & Chronicle.

"Potentially offensive hillbilly band"
-Indianapolis, IN, NUVO.

"Satanic Johnny & June"
-Manhattan, NY, Lush Life Bar Notes (by Mark Wheeler)

"Imagine the Nickel Creek kids growing up smoking crack.. traumatized in
Appalachia..and there you go."
-Mobile, AL, Weekly Jangle.

"Polly Punkneck residing somewhere between Dolly Parton and Gwen Stefani"
-Rochester, NY, Democrat & Chronicle.

"Jason and the Punknecks brought the Trash and Twang"
-Rochester, NY, City Paper

"Heavily tattooed, L.A. based, punk-country band, who mixes Social
Distortion with a little bit of hillbilly hollerin' and a hint of Hank Williams"
-Nashville, TN, RAGE Magazine.

"Imagine if the HBO television show "Carnival" had a house punk-rock
band and you'd have Jason and the Punknecks."
-Los Angeles, CA, Rarwriter (by Rick Alan Rice)

"Country Punk Mayhem"
-Freetime Magazine, New York

"An Acoustic sound somewhere between hillbilly-rock and Americana"
-Vindy.com/news, Youngstown, Ohio

 


Guitar Bomb

"it's hard not to lay them down besides White Stripes, Bantam Rooster,
and Flat Duo Jets, which is no slacky company. In fact, these fellows do
rawk, with more kinship to John Spencer and Black Lips, because they
embody something swampy, nasty, fungal, late-night, and loitering...If
you wanted ZZ Top to play rough'n'tumble, tattooed and cantankerous,
punk-drone, broken-axle jump-blues and rockabilly, this is the real
rebel flag to drape over your mud-caked truck. Sweltering and full of shellac."
--Left Of The Dial


Originally conceived as a one man band,
Guitar Bomb has evolved into a two piece combo of guitar, drums and
vocals. For their upcoming release, "Happy Hour At The Silverado", this
genre crossing duo is dedicated to delivering punk rock credibility to
the blues. If there is a single act that can tip its cap to the old
delta Mississippi players of the 30's and shake a fist with the punks of
the 70's and thrash with the head bangers of the 80's, it is Guitar
Bomb. With their fair share of touring throughout the US and Canada one
can expect to see or hear more about this act.


Hickry Hawkins

Somebody will have to shoot Hick'ry Hawkins before he'll ever stop
playin'!With a sound most often compared to Dwight Yoakam, Jason
and the Scorchers, The Cramps and Jay Hawkins, The Hick'ry Hawkins Band
unites fans of Honky Tonk, Country and Punk Rock, delivering a dynamic,
highly-acclaimed catalog of both humorous and heart-wrenching songs with
a Southern draw that consistently packs the crowds into venues across
the Carolinas. Their distinctive, hip-shaking Rockabilly sound combines a
deeply-rooted Country tradition with a hard-edged Punk mentality,
explaining why lead singer Hick'ry Hawkins was named "the David Lee Roth
of Country music" by the Knoxville Sentinel. Singing songs about hard
times, whiskey and women; reflecting on winning and losing at the game
of love; and respecting the strong influence of great Country icons like
Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Steve Earle; veteran musician Hick'ry
Hawkins has naturally hollered, strummed and crooned his way to the top
of today's Honky Tonk music circuit.

*Special Sunday Opening for....



The Brains

Canada's most insanest, undeadest and bestest psychobilly horror-punks
are back with a vengeance and an unquenchable thirst for new blood.

"The Brains are a killer, seven year old psychobilly punk band from
Montreal, Canada. It's truly quite amazing how such a crazy sound can
come out of just three instruments: the bass, guitar and drums. Though
often classified as straight up psychobilly or rockabilly, The Brains
are really more at the hardcore end of the rockabilly music scale; it's
like punk with a serious twist"
- Pure Grain Radio

"The Brains come raging out of Montreal's psychobilly scene to take over
your stereos and chow down on, well, your brains."
- Exclaim



Cryptkeeper 5

THE CRYPTKEEPER FIVE are an American Rock & Roll band formed in 1997
in TRENTON, NEW JERSEY... Rock & Roll? Yes, Rock & Roll!
A lot of changes happen in 11 years... Hearts change and line-ups
change... The number of members in your band changes (which sucks if you
have a number in your name) and then changes back (fuck you heckling
bitches)... Hairstyles & looks change... Tastes change... Styles
change... Voices change & Music can change, if ya listen and let it...

THE CRYPTKEEPER FIVE have been playing up and down the east coast and
midwest for several years, from KINGSTON, NY to MIAMI, FLORIDA... from
THE JERSEY SHORE to DETROIT... we've shared the stage with many great
acts such as HR from BAD BRAINS, BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY, the RIVER CITY
REBELS, BLITZKID, the DICTATORS, the GREEN GOBLYN PROJECT, MURPHYS LAW,
JOHN DAVIS of SUPERDRAG, TIME AGAINST & TOMMY STINSON of the
REPLACEMENTS/GUNS & ROSES, just to name a few...


&


The Arkhams

"The Arkhams are a 4 piece band playing Wild Rockin' Psychobilly,
rocket-fueled by their influences, but keeping their unique, dare I say
signature sound consistent & keeping crowds dancing everywhere they
go. Taking their name from a town made infamous in HP Lovecraft lore,
it's no coincidence that the songs have recurring themes of insanity and
mental illness. The sound is as schizophrenic as the content: a
psychotic episode across sub-genre boundaries which at any twitch can
switch from psycho-garage to Mersey-beat/R&B and New York City Punk
Rock. The Arkhams thrive on their musical (and personal) eccentricity,
while nodding to those who have influenced them. A live set is a barrage
of rock fury, with most songs connected to the next, relenting few
times between for the crowd to catch their breath and wipe the sweat
from their brows. Catch them live!"
