So some of you have started stalking me. Lucky for you I’m extremely twisted and into that sort of miguided affection, so I’ve decided to give you a rundown of some of the shows that I may be hitting this weekend. I couldn’t just give you an itinerary–what’s the fun in that? You gotta find me. Bonus for breaking into my 2nd floor apartment and trying on my clothes.
FRIDAY, 3/18
The Pretty Reckless are playing The Wonder Bar tonight here in AP, with supporting acts Easy Tiger and A Thousand Horses. I have ambivalent feelings about the headlinging act ( Woman In ( Mainstream) Rock, good; Songwriting and Self-Effacing Sex Driven Marketing Of An Underage Woman, not so much), but I am a big fan of Easy Tiger, a Pop Rock 4 piece that boasts an artful and well-thought out construction of sound. Just watch out for the underagers, which will be sure to pack the house. The line of mini-vans should tip you off to that, though. P.S. I’m kind of bitter that my band’s not on this bill, so factor that into this review. Wonder Bar/ 7 PM/ $15
Also worth checking out:
The New Milky Spit/ The Intense Men/ Exit 117/ Ziggy Shock @ Brighton Bar/ 9 PM/ $9
A Night Of Metal, Magic, & Burlesque Featuring Eye Of The Tiger & Burlesque From Miss Coney Island @ The Asbury Lanes 8 PM/ $10
SATURDAY, 3/19
Since 1996, the name TV Carnage has been synonymous with the sublime juxtaposition of harvested video clips to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Over the course of six legendary DVD’s, TV Carnage has invented an entire genre unto itself: the context-bending comedy video mashup.The man behind the legend, Pinky Carnage, will be making a rare public appearance at The Asbury Lanes this Saturday to present his most recent masterpiece, Let’s Work It Out!!!, a video expose of lesser accomplishments in the worlds of instructional workout video, exercise wear, and activity-appropriate hair and makeup.
Opening the show will be Bachelors & Bachelorettes, the show formerly known as The Dating Game at the Asbury Lanes. Co-hosts DJ Values and Gentleman Jim return with their live version of the classic game show of your childhood, but with a decidedly uncensored angle. The lucky couples will each win an all-expense-paid date in Asbury Park, but the audience will have been the winners from the start. P.S. Yours Truly will be choosing a lucky boy to debauch with, I mean date, for an evening.
Asbury Lanes/ 8 PM/ $12 {Stalking Opportunity is at it’s highest here this weekend}

There you go, kids! That’s only some of what’s good this weekend, so if you’re feeling something else, I recommend you just stop down here, hit up the AP Boardwalk or Downtown Asbury and grab a beer, before you know it, it will be 4 AM, you’ll be at someone’s house afterpartying and figuring how you’re going to call out of work tomorrow. Or who will come and get you out of jail. Or which one of the 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover you’ll have to employ.
XOXO
