What's Going On: 6/28, 6/29, 6/30, 7/1 & 7/2, 2018

Ex-Girlfriends play their final show on Thursday.

Happy Canada Day!

Hope your summer is going swimmingly. Ours here at CDMHQ definitely isn't going swimmingly as the coolpool is totally out of commission for the time being. Otherwise, things have been ok. We're getting ready to move into the big holiday week with several super awesome shows this weekend.

Things kick off on Thursday night when our besties in Lowlight get another chance to open for Pretenders at a sold-out Count Basie Theatre. Iceage play a sold-out Market Hotel in Brooklyn with Mary Lattimore and Norman Westberg. Also in Brooklyn, Ex-girlfriends play their final show at Cape House / Rose Gold. That one features a whole bunch of others like Fruit & Flowers, Def.GRLS, Gustaf, DJ Mikey Erg, and more. We had the honor of premiering the first-ever single from Ex-Girlfriends right here almost two years ago. It's been a wild ride, and we wish all the best to everybody in their future endeavors. Also, happy birthday Heather!

On Friday, Little Dickman Records bring Pearl Earl, Old Lady, and Tony Saxon to APYC. C.R. and The Degenerates open for The Sadies at Monty Hall in Jersey City. Ella Ross holds a CD release party at The Saint with We're Ghosts Now, Lauren Patti, and Ernest. U2 are in Newark.

Saturday brings Oso Oso, Queen Of Jeans, ManDancing, and Shark Club to Asbury Park Brewery. Well Wisher and Have A Good Season provide the afternoon entertainment for Asbury Park Football Club at APYC. Thee Idea Men and Waiting On Mongo have the evening show there. The Burns, Major Thrice, and J.K. Lago are at The Chubby Pickle in Highlands. The Porchistas, psych-o-positive, Bern & The Brights, and Secret Admirers play FM Jersey City. Pino's Gift Basket in Highland Park hosts San Tropez, Renee Maskin, and Hair Magic. Ropetree hold their own CD release celebration at The Saint with Vextion, Lower The Veil, and December Morning. Tragedy return to Wonder Bar.

On Sunday, Lovelorn, featuring ex members of Creepoid, play Asbury Park Brewery with Seaside Caves, and Dead Swords. latewaves and Secret Mountain do APFC at APYC in the afternoon. Spowder, BIG HUGE, Fear Not Ourselves Alone, Alex Farber, and Wave Trip are at Shore Caribbean Restaurant in Long Branch.

I'm throwing in Monday this week because that's the day that Little Dickman Records, Indian Summer, and yours truly bring you The RockNRoll Hi-Fives tour kickoff / release show / beach party on the beach stage at Anchor's Bend. That one also features Wetbrain, and it is going to be a beautiful way to send The RockNRoll Hi-Fives off on their massive summer tourcation. The show is free and 21+, but youngsters can see and hear everything from the boardwalk or the public beach. Come party with us.

Happy Canada Day. Happy Independence Day. Have fun. Don't drink and drive.
