The Bouncing Souls have announced 3 holiday shows 12/27 to 12/29 at the Stone Pony in Asbury park NJ. Tickets to the shows are on sale now.
From the band:
“A while back we had you the fans vote for your favorite Souls songs. Consequently, we ended up with a sort of “top 40″ list. We will be counting down that list in order, from 40 to 1 (20 songs each night) on the 28th and 29th. For the 27th (first night), we will be playing a mix of 20 other fuckin awesome Souls songs. That’s right, 60 DIFFERENT SONGS IN THREE NIGHTS! Wow. And who knows, maybe we’ll even play more.” See the complete list of songs after the jump.
THU DEC 27, 2007 w/ WORLD/INFERNO F.S. & LOW BUDGETS
FRI DEC 28, 2007 w/ TIM BARRY, ERGS, & TOMMY BRUNETT
SAT DEC 29, 2007 w/ LOVED ONES & STATIC RADIO NJ
This past weekend Late Night Wallflower had a chance to chat with lead singer Greg, not so much about the Souls as it was about new children’s book he illustrated. Look out for that interview on Monday.

Morrissey’s residency in NYC has officially passed and the opinions on what night was the best will obviously be mixed. I attended the second night with the usual expectations that comes with witnessesing the Moz’s live show. If anything, the only real surprises from the night consisted of the interesting mix of solo songs and the rare apperance of the Smith’s “Death of a Disco Dancer.”
There are few that command the stage like Moz. It’s an experience most should witness. It’s majestic; that’s the only way to categorize it. After all the frustration of his cancelled Summer gig at MSG, it was an overall well-paced show. Nothing too crazy, nothing by any means boring, everything went down smooth. It could have been a better Moz show but hey, who’s complaining really? Set list after the jump.
Red Leader took over the Bowery Poetry Club this past Saturday, putting on one of the best showcases of the week with sets by Fire When Ready, The New Dress, Scream Hello, Dear Tonight, Nakatomi Plaza and the mighty Polar Bear Club.
We got there just in time for The New Dress. As I looked around the room, I saw nothing but smiles in the crowd. There’s no secret about this but we love this band. We think everyone should love this band. It was cool to see them at this show surrounded by all their friends. I was also pleasantly surprised by Scream Hello. It kinda reminded me of a more aggressive Piebald. The dudes seemed really stoked to be there and we’re bouncing around stage like a couple of monkeys (the punk variety atleast). Dear Tonight were super tight as well and did a freaking fantastic job filling up their short set with some aggressive but thoughtful hardcore. Hey, if Vice is catching up on these guys now, I think it’ll be a matter of time before the rest of the crowds do.
As Polar Bear Club began to play fans bum rushed the front of the stage singing and finger pointing to all the words. The band’s live show has some fucking awesome power to it. The band tore through favorites from The Redder The Better EP, one track off their demo, and 2 new ones off their forthcoming release Sometimes Things Just Disappear which is going to be released in the near future.

Ah summer. What could be better than 90 degree weather, baseball games and bbq-ing every food item you have in your pantry? Well, free concerts would be a start. The annual River to River Festival kicks off tonight in NYC with Animal Collective and Danielson at the South Street Seaport stage. The real treat, however, will be tomorrow when the legendary rock icon Roky Erickson returns to NYC. Seriously people, his performances in April at the Bowery Ballroom and Southpaw were his first NYC performances EVER. Do yourself a favor and go.
Get there early though because tickets will be given away (two per person) on a first-come, first-serve basis, starting at 5pm. More information can be found here.
