Beauty School Dropout
2023-11-04 19:00 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
Beauty School Dropout
with Not A Toy
Beauty School Dropout is a Los Angeles based rock band comprised of Colie Hutzler, Beepus, and Bardo. Spearheaded by A&R Mark Hoppus under the new label Verswire with Pete Wentz and Sherry Saeedi, Beauty School Dropout have been turning heads since their debut in 2022.
BSD is this generation’s Motley Crue meets Red Hot Chili Peppers. Resurrecting heavy guitar
tones, charging drums, and sticky melodies, all while still staying true to the relatable and
timeless emotional lyrics we all love.
Since their inception, the band has claimed global attention, landing Tune Of The Week on
BBC Radio 1; and further support from Travis Mills, Jack Saunders, Daniel P Carter, New Music
Friday, New Noise, and an MTV FRESH OUT performance to name a few. They’ve been
championed by legendary tastemakers like NME, Alternative Press, Kerrang, Rock Sound,
SPIN, Billboard, and many others.
Their debut album, ‘We Made Plans And God Laughed’ released in 2022, has garnered over
20+ million streams and counting and featured an amazing list of collaborative efforts including
the feature of Mark Hoppus in ‘Almost Famous.’ The creation of the album has seen the band
working with hit-making writers and producers such as Andrew Goldstein, All Time Low’s Alex
Gaskarth, Inverness, Slush Puppy, Ryan Follese, Nash Overstreet, and Dan Book.
The band kicked off this year with hit singles from the upcoming album ‘FREAK’ featuring
JXDN, ‘dying to be you’ and ‘beautiful waste’ in conjunction with a 36 date US tour and as
support for blink-182’s arena tour featuring the long-awaited return of Tom Delonge. This was
followed by a European tour with Maggie Lindemann and Stand Atlantic, a multi-festival summer
run across EU and US, and an opening slot for Matchbox Twenty in front of 16,000 fans,
solidifying Beauty School Dropout as true road warriors.
Rock For People Festival stated; “What an incredible show! These guys are going to go far!!”
Continuing their prolific run of success, BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT will release their
sophomore album ‘READY TO EAT’ on October 13th, 2023.
Mark Hoppus says of the band, “I’m always impressed by how hard these guys work, their talent
and uncompromising creativity, and their dedication to their fans.” And READY TO EAT is just
another culmination of that.

2023-11-10 20:00 - 22:00, 2023-11-11 20:00 - 22:00, 2023-11-12 15:00 - 17:00 | Axelrod Performing Arts Center, 100 Grant Ave, Deal, 07723

This live-concert presentation of the full album features Remember Jones and his full 12-piece band and includes the iconic chart-topping singles “Pinball Wizard,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “See Me, Feel Me,” “I’m Free,” “The Acid Queen,” and “Go to the Mirror.” This concert is not the musical based on songs from the Tommy album.

Soule Monde with Dezron Douglas
2023-11-11 19:00 | Stone Pony, 913 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
Soule Monde with Dezron Douglas
Tom Marshall’s 60th Birthday Party
with the Anthony Krizan Band
Soule Monde is avant funk born of the syncopated minds of power drummer Russ Lawton and organ wizard Ray Paczkowski. The “duo” is cemented into an indestructible unit, where bold improvisational leaps are interpreted telepathically and reciprocated effortlessly. Paczkowski has an intrepid ability to simultaneously tame the Hammond B3 and clavinet, filling Soule Monde’s sound with beautiful and dynamic melodies. Lawton is the consummate ‘pocket’ drummer, driving the groove further without ever losing a step, or Ray. This is the jazz-duo your parents warned you about.
Their pedigree speaks for itself, much like Russ and Ray’s music. While Lawton has played alongside Vermont staples like Mike Gordon, Strangefolk, and The Grippo Funk Band, Paczkowski’s early acts Viperhouse and Vorcza gained notoriety in the 1990s, and he (Ray) toured with Dave Matthews and Friends for 3 years in the early 2000s. Notably, both members of Soule Monde have been in the Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) for more than 20 years. Additionally, Russ and Ray have made appearances at Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Saturday Night Live, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon.
In early 2018 Ray Paczkowski underwent brain surgery to remove a golf ball sized tumor that threatened his gross motor function. After a difficult year of rehabilitation filled with ups and downs, the “Milkman” as he is affectionately known, made a full recovery. With a freshly shaped lens on life the duo did not waste any time. In the Spring of 2020 Russ and Ray added a third and started LaMP, a supergroup side project with Scott Metzger of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead. That Fall found them in their familiar roles alongside Phish’s Trey Anastasio at New York City’s legendary Beacon Theatre. The Beacon Jams 8-week live stream residency tested the duo’s versatility, rehearsing and performing over 100 songs.
Fast forward to early 2021, and Soule Monde proper returned to Sugarhouse Studios in Waitsfield, VT, surrounded by snow covered Pines, to record “Mimi Digs It”. The decades of synergy show, and eight brand new tracks highlight a musical partnership at the pinnacle of its craft. Much like the sugar yielding Maples on Ray’s Farm, this latest album is the gift that keeps on giving.
DEZRON DOUGLAS
Hartford, Connecticut-born bassist, composer, bandleader, and educator Dezron Douglas has established himself as a major force in contemporary creative music. A protégé of the great Jackie McLean, the Downbeat Magazine 2019 Rising Star is known for his work with Pharoah Sanders, Ravi Coltrane, Cyrus Chestnut, David Murray, Louis Hayes, Enrico Rava and also with piano legends George Cables, Eric Reed, Mulgrew Miller and Benny Green. In 2018, he appeared on the New York Side of Makaya McCraven’s Universal Beings. During the original covid lockdown in 2020, he live-streamed a series of duo performances with his partner Brandee Younger from their Harlem apartment, which were collected and released by International Anthem as the critically-acclaimed album Force Majeure. In 2021, Douglas produced Younger’s Impulse Records debut Somewhere Different, which earned her a Grammy nomination. Also in 2021, Douglas joined the Trey Anastasio Band as a full-time member. He has recorded on more than 100 albums, contributing to the artistry of numerous band leaders and maintaining an integral presence in the sounds of his peers, including Keyon Harrold, Jonathan Blake, Melanie Charles, Makaya McCraven and Brandee Younger. Douglas is an active music educator, currently on the Jazz Studies faculty at NYU Steinhardt.

String Machine
2023-11-15 19:00 | Wonder Bar, 1213 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
String Machine
Raavi
The music of String Machine is rapturous and inviting. You’ll find an undeniable magic within each note,
a palpable energy owed in part to its creative process. Hallelujah Hell Yeah is an album of joy,
vulnerability, and forgiveness. Through this inventive indie rock, seven friends manage to transport you
to the bedrooms, basements, and home studios in which this was all created, conceptualized, and
recorded.
This recording is the band’s representation of what it means to be grateful that one is alive, regardless of
whether that carpe diem spirit is sourced in optimism (“Hallelujah!”) or nihilism (“Hell Yeah!”). It’s a
powerful statement that rings especially poignant in such uncertain times.
String Machine isn’t shy about sharing their heart with you, and that confessional spirit continues on
Hallelujah Hell Yeah. “The album was inspired by moments of dealing with anxiety surrounding a lot of
personal stuff. Usually, my instinct when anxious is to keep myself busy. Writing songs was the middle
ground where I could solve inner-turmoils while feeling productive,” Beck said.
Reconnecting with journaling enabled Beck to let down his guard, and for that, Hallelujah Hell Yeah has
an uniquely spirited driving force. “This writing experience felt a lot more honest & confessional. Instead
of writing blurbs of nonsense & attaching meaning in a subconscious archetypal way, I tried to be more
deliberate about having purpose in what I sing/write,” he said. “Every song has a place. I’d write the music
and hum melodies until they were catchy enough to be stuck in my head. Putting the words to the music
this way was a lot different than what I’d done before.”
Each single stands as a snapshot. Opener “Places to Hide,” which finds liftoff in its twanging strings and
unexpected use of trumpet was written beachside in Ocean City, Maryland. “Touring In January'' was
written during a solo tour in the Poconos and uses keys, horns, and a bittersweet view of touring to
create a moment of emotive triumph. When it's all pieced together, you’ll feel as if you’re an
eighth member of String Machine, paying witness as a band reaches their fullest, glorious
potential.
Since the release of Death of the Neon, String Machine has garnered praise from publications including
Pitchfork and GoldFlakePaint. They’ve played with acts including Ratboys, Wild Pink, Slaughter Beach
Dog, Another Michael, and Mandancing.
