I was listening to music today, it got me thinking. Does anyone have a favorite NJ band from our bar days as teenagers (drinking age was 17 at that time) Mine were Holme, Backstreets, Flossie, Bystander, Cats on a Smooth Surface, Lynch Boys (for those of us who hung out at Jimmy Byrnes) I knew most of the guys and were friends with them. Boy, do I miss those days! How about you? Any fun stories?
I would say every night watching Condor was an adventure and everyone had fun. Though the Holloween party at Circus Circus had to be the funniest night, even the band was laughing all night. If I can figure out how to post a photo, I'd post a photo of them that night.
As Bigjake says below this post, yes in the mid to late 70's, if you had money, you could come in (@ age 14-15 to a bar ). Of course it was better going with older guys so you can just walk in.
OMG, I remember packing em in at Jimmy Brynes on a weekend. We were.so lucky there was never a fire there. No one would have made it out, but boy did we have a blast. Sunday afternoons at DJais. 7 beers.for a dollar. Those were the days.
Well, I was born in the 80's, and I won't list Springsteen because that's clearly not the intention here. but...
The Bouncing Souls
Sticks & Stones
Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes
The Misfits
Broken? So, what can I say about what you missed. Endless hours telling you that every night M-S in the 70's 80's we could go out and see a band play live. I could ramble for hours.
Something I know is what is the "lair du temps", of the photographic moment. I sense since your scope of your aperture is 'broken' you might find solace in this song:
Sunday afternoons at DJais. 7 beers.for a dollar. Those were the days.
But only until 2pm when the band came on. Little known fact that they started in Secaucus before moving to Belmar in I would guess the late 50's. They were oocated next to what is now the Senior center and was taken over by a country western bar in the 60's after they left.
I used to go out to listen to The Nerds or Dr. Cheeko. From the early 2000's there was a band called 'Only Human' that I would go listen to a couple of times.
