*Update: Entropy will not be playing this show.

Boontunes is a live music venue in Boonton, NJ.

They figured out a very punny name for a sweet venue.  They host live band, records, and events.  They showcase their local music and art community, consistently bringing artists and musicians alike for a strong sense of community.  Boontunes opened their doors on July 4th, 2015.  Did they do it for America?  Maybe.  I do love Eagles.  Owner Justin Di Ricco, and his “sidekick” Tabitha Booth, are both musicians themselves aiming to “create a space that is comfortable and fun for all.”

Click the picture of Boontunes, above, to be directed to their website. If you’d like to contact Boontunes to work with them, possibly to book a show, throw an event, or even have a question, you can visit their contact page.

The Revelation Agency Presents: Local Music Showcase at The Watering Hole

Friday, March 10th, 2017, Mays Landing, NJ

By Sean McCall | Posted Tuesday, February 28, 2017

The Revelation Agency is an Arts and Entertainment Event planning Service based out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  They book all ages shows in both Philadelphia and New Jersey.  Some of their venues they work with are The Watering Hole, The Barbary, Boneyard Bar & Grill, and Grace Church Haddonfield.  This show will be held at The Watering Hole.

The Watering Hole is a Mom and Pop bar and restaurant located in Mays Landing, NJ.  They serve multi-cuisine lunch, dinner, and drinks.

“Welcome to the Watering Hole Café, a South Jersey icon with a colorful history.  It is a fantastic place with an unpretentious attitude, great food and great music, where all are welcome.  Set on 12 acres of NJ Pinelands with an outstanding outside appeal, the Watering Hole Café is the latest name of this legendary establishment.

Early in The I900s, it was said to be a stagecoach stop.  People would come, pick up some supplies, eat some food and quench their thirst.  During prohibition, runners from Philadelphia would stop here on their way to Atlantic City (and maybe have a beer or two).

Dating back to the mid 50’s, Doaks was its name, with turkey shoots on the weekends, a truck horn on the roof to blow when cars drove by and entertaining clothes hanging from the ceiling.  Afterwards, it became the Country Pine Inn, which for the most part was a family restaurant serving hearty meals.  Next, it was Uncle Mike’s in the early nineties, which was a fabulous destination for motorcyclists because of the scenic stretch of road leading here.

So after a hundred years ,we’re not much different from the Weymouth Furnace (located just north of us) having aged while remaining the same.  We are a local standby as well as home to a stranger, new comer or tourist, where all walks of life are always welcome warmly.

We hope you enjoy the music, your meal, a drink, your day, a game or anything else while visiting us and hope you will return real soon.

In ending, if you know of any history, weddings, memorabilia, that we should know about our establishment please share it with us, and we’ll be sure to hang it or post it for all to see.”

  -- Byron & MarIa

Aftermath Collective is a booking agency that books a decent amount of local shows, big and small.  They host shows in New Jersey and Philadelphia at places such as Kung-fu Necktie, The Barbary, and a number of other places in the greater Philadelphia area.  This show will be at one of South Jersey’s most well known local venues: Studio Luloo.

For this show, Luloo will be hosting two New Jersey native bands as well as two touring acts: Later Days from Austin, Texas and Hold Close from Missouri.  The gig is on Tuesday, February 28th, and doors are at 7pm.  There’s only 4 bands, so make sure you get there early - it’s a Tuesday, so you probably won’t be out too late.  If you get to stay late enough, you may even personally see Joe Franks himself turn into a telecaster at the end of the gig.  I’m telling you, it’s a must see.  Plus Drake personally said himself, “Get to the gig.”  See for yourself, that shit's legit.

*Update: Forever Losing Sleep will not be performing.

Chalk Zone is a DIY living room venue located in Cape May, New Jersey.  If you’re looking for a place to drink beer, listen to tight ass music, and possibly pet a dog, this is your place.  It may be a DIY house venue, but the reviews on Facebook are better than 95% of your town's local business’s Yelp reviews.  I mean, they have entire walls that you can draw on with chalk.  It’s 2017. It’s revolutionary.  It's freakin' Chalk Zone, brother.

 

This show is held by “Loser Casual Booking” who mostly book shows at Chalk Zone in Cape May, NJ.  If you’re looking for the address to Chalk Zone, or have booking inquiries, you can email Dijon Justice here: lunarcasualsj@gmail.com

For this show, Chalk Zone will be hosting 2 New Jersey bands, as well as Krelboyne, from Illinois, and The New Harmony, from Delaware.  The gig is on Friday, February 10th, 2017, and doors are at 7:00pm.  There’s 4 bands, two of which I know are the NJ OG homies.  Forever Losing Sleep is constantly blowing me away with their #tone and how often they tour, and Clearview are the local scene brothers from around my area (Hammonton // South Jersey).

Krelboyne (IL) is currently on tour with Forever Losing Sleep and a band called “We Love You,” which you can check out below by clicking their flier.

“FLEMINGTON DIY (Do It Yourself) is an organization whose mission is to inspire social change by fostering and cultivating projects that connect the local community with musicians and artists in Flemington.”  Flemington DIY is a non-profit organization dedicated to the arts in all forms.  Besides serving as a creative art space, hosting poetry nights, film viewings, cultural meetings, etc., this space is known as the center music hub for the area.  They have hosted a number of up and coming bands previously such as Petal, Dowsing, Jank, Spencer Radcliff, and many more.

For this show, the art space will be hosting mostly New Jersey bands, as well as Johnny Mays a.k.a. WATERMEDOWN from Georgia.  The gig is on Friday, February 3rd, 2017, and doors are at 6:00pm.  There are 5 bands, on top of watermedown, so make sure you get there early.  It’s a stacked show with some of the best bands (and the best people) in the tri-state area.  They’re making moves, and you don’t want to miss this show.

This show is very special because watermedown is finally releasing new music after his initial release of Somewhere Sleepless in 2015, which you can listen to via Spotify below:

Since then, watermedown has released two singles off of the new record:

“Stagnant”

and “Dead Things”
