NYC/NJ Shows?

[tommyandtheterrors]

What venues are there to play in NYC/NJ these days? Does Connections still do shows? We played down there a few years back with the Broken Heroes and it was a good time but I haven't heard much going on there lately. Anyhow, any contacts for booking in this region (or even a decent place in NYC) would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone books shows or is in a band and could throw us on something decent we could probably reciprocate in Boston. Oh, and we'd prefer to open for a band with a local draw of some sort.

Thanks

cool, thanks!

can you recommend any bands I could get in touch with about setting something up at one of these fine establishments?

[Blacky Shamrock]

P.M. me your dates/routing and I can shoot some info for bands your way.
The reason I'm asking for your dates/routing is to see if either of my bands (Hub City Stompers / Steel Toe Solution) will be available to help you out as well.

Connections is no longer doing shows. they closed around january, but bob who used to own Let It Rock record store is opening a new joint in Clifton called Clash Bar. it promises to be a good place. i assume it's gonna be where connections used to be, but don't quote me on that. not sure when it's opening, but contact him and he should be able to tell you all the details.

travis pretty much covered the rest of the NJ venues....at least the ones worth playing anyway....

Turnpike Wrecks are always up for a show.

Naw, they're still open. Brother Earth just played there a couple weeks back. They are, however, no longer running live music.

Thanks for all the info everyone. Hopefully we can get something rolling down that way soon.

just got this shit on myspace

Ladies and Gentlemen.... children of all ages;

I am proud to announce that I will be promoting Sunday matinee's at PYRAMID starting this OCTOBER (22nd or 29th).

WE'RE BRINGIN' MATS BACK TO THE LOWER EAST SIDE.

All bands can contact me here regarding playing (until I start a myspace profile for shows and productions).

Pyramid has a solid history within the NYHC scene since it all started on Avenue A and 7th Street (in my opinion A7 was the clubhouse for all back then), and a lot of shows were done at Pyramid as well over the past 26 years....

This was a 'right of passage' bar for most of the kids who started hanging out and shit where on the weekends you would side up to the bar and buy a drink and check out the hot chicks who were dancing on the bar (not to mention the transvestites who were oh so comically entertaining).

At one point, Jimmy (Murphy's Law), Richie from Underdog, and RAYBEEZ all worked there together at the same time as bouncers in the late 80's and 90's....

I hope this can be one of the ideal clubs that has the history behind it to bring back something that is truly going to be missing once CBGBs closes down, and there is nothing like an NYHC matinee'..... it's what built this lifestyle of ours.....

I'm hoping we all can make this a BEEF-FREE and VIOLENT-FREE place to showcase the up and coming RAW TALENT that I know is out there and the place looks so much better than it used to even... I can't think of a better place to start up again and give the new kids a taste of the real... and now you can get to and from the show without worrying about getting robbed or hurt now that the 'hood has been gentrified.

Please repost and spread the gospel..... you know where to find me.....

enjoy the weekend everyone....
