LaMP (Lawton, Metzger & Paczkowski)
On a magical night at Nectar’s in Burlington, VT in Dec of 2018, three musical masters (Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski) came together with alchemical synthesis, and created a fresh so-tight-it’s-free sound, packed with technical prowess and a deep-pocket punch. The packed house fortunate enough to be in attendance that night witnessed the birth of something very special.
The following spring, the trio took the name LaMP by combining the first letters of each members’ surname, and reconvened back in VT at Sugarhouse Soundworks for an intense recording session with Roger Stauss to lay down tracks that would become their eponymous debut EP.
“We wrote everything via the internet. We figured out telecommuting and working from home before it was fashionable [laughs]. We’d usually start with Russ sending around a drumbeat he was working on, then Ray and I would put down ideas and we’d send them back and forth, editing everything as we went along. When we finally found some time to record, I drove up to Vermont, we took a day to flush everything out and rehearse, then spent two days recording.” – Scott Metzger
Metzger, known as “…an ace guitarist of a thousand styles.” (Village Voice) and a full-time member of the critically acclaimed Joe Russo’s Almost Dead tested the decades-strong synergy of Ray & Russ forged from their time playing with Trey Anastasio Band and their duo project Soule Monde. The result was seven tracks crackling with energy and soul. The melodic & harmonic interplay between Paczkowski’s swirling organ and clavinet dancing with Metzger’s acrobatic melodies on telecaster, driven by Russ “It’s all about the rudiments.” Lawton’s unflappable backbeat produced a record that will stand the test of time.

Marky Ramone’s Holiday Blitzkrieg
2023-12-08 19:00 | Stone Pony, 913 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, 07712
Marky Ramone’s Holiday Blitzkrieg
Doing the Hits
Marky Ramone is best known for the 15 years he spent drumming for
the legendary Ramones. Prior to joining the Ramones, Marky played
with an array of influential musicians dating back to his high school
years when he was a member of the Brooklyn based hard rock band,
Dust. Recording two albums with his friends, Richie Wise (guitar and
vocals) and Kenny Aaronson (bass) for Neil Bogart’s Karma
Sutra/Buddha label.
While Dust was disbanding, Marky began hanging out at Max’s Kansas
City, where he met Max’s house D.J. Wayne County. He joined forces
with Wayne to form Wayne County and The Backstreet Boys. Wayne’s
outrageous stage performance and cross-dressing attracted many fans
and help solidify a cult following. After a year and a half of playing in
the New York area and not able to generate record company interest,
they decided it was best to move on.
In 1976, Marky was introduced to Richard Hell. Along with Bob Quine
and Ivan Julian, they formed Richard Hell & the Voidoids. The Voidoids
released their groundbreaking debut album in 1977 on Sire Records,
entitled “Blank Generation”. Shortly after the Voidoids historic U.K.
tour with The Clash, Marky found himself at the bar at CBGB with Dee
Dee Ramone. Dee Dee asked him if he would be interested in joining
The Ramones.
The spring of 1978, Marky joined the Ramones. In a matter of weeks
he was in the studio recording his first album with The Ramones
entitled, “Road to Ruin”, which features one of the biggest Ramones
songs “I Wanna Be Sedated”. The following year the Ramones filmed
the cult classic “Rock ‘n’ Roll High School”. Later that year, they joined
forces with producer legend, Phil Spector to record “End Of The
Century”.
After several tours and a two more studio albums, Marky was asked to
leave the band 1983, only to rejoin his band mates in 1987 until they
decided to call it quits in 1996. His tenure with the Ramones spanned
a total of 15 years. Performing over 1700 shows and more than 15
releases, including songwriting credits on both Mondo Bizarro and
Adios Amigos, the bands farewell release.
In 2000, Marky reunited with long time friend Joey Ramone for Joey’s
solo effort “Don’t Worry About Me”. In 2001, Marky along with his
former band mates (Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy), were inducted into
the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame. That same year, U2’s Bono presented
the Ramones with the MTV’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
The DVD release, “Raw”, a compilation of mostly home videos filmed
predominantly by Marky was release in 2004 and entered the Billboard
video chart at number 5. Certified gold in three countries and currently
the best selling Ramones DVD release to date.
In the spring of 2009, Marky launched a capsule collection clothing line
with Hilfiger Denim. In 2010, Marky shared his recipe for pasta sauce
by introducing Marky Ramone’s Brooklyn’s Own Pasta Sauce.
In February 2010 The Ramones received a Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award. It was the first Grammy for the punk rock
pioneers.
In early 2010 Marky Ramones Blitzkrieg with Michale Graves released
their first single “When We Were Angels” with former member of Sheer
Terror, Mark Neuman, playing bass and guitar.
With no signs of slowing down, Marky Ramone continues to tour the
world with his band, Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg, featuring various lead
vocalists including Andrew W.K. and Michale Graves.
Marky is currently in his eighth year as a D.J. on SiriusXM Satelldite
Radio hosing “Marky Ramone’s Punk Rock Blitzkrieg”. Marky has also
appeared on numerous TV shows including The Simpsons, Anthony
Bourdain’s No Reservations and ZRock.

"It's A Wonderful Life"
2023-12-14 19:30 | The Center, 806 3rd Ave, Asbury Park
The ShowRoom and The Center invite you to a Wonderful evening!
The ShowRoom is pleased to announce its partnership with The Center in Asbury Park in
co-producing a festive fundraiser screening of It’s a Wonderful Life on December 14th at
7:30pm!
It’s a Wonderful Life follows George Bailey, who has so many problems he is thinking about
ending it all. As the angels discuss George, we see his life in flashback. As George is about to
jump from a bridge, he meets his guardian angel, Clarence – who then shows George what his
town would have looked like if it hadn’t been for all his good deeds over the years.
Although it was initially met with mixed reviews and was unsuccessful at the box office, It’s a
Wonderful Life became a Christmas classic years later due in part to its accessibility on
television every year around the holidays. In 1990, It’s a Wonderful Life was selected for
preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being
deemed as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.
The ShowRoom looks forward to spreading the holiday cheer with this timeless classic and
helping out an organization so vital to the Asbury Park community. Since 1992 The Center has
been providing support services for people living with HIV/AIDS through housing, food, and
general health and hygiene services. They are expanding their reach to connect all at-risk
individuals in the community to comprehensive healthcare and wellness through vital services,
counseling and education, collaboration, and advocacy to inspire and empower all to live longer,
healthier, and happier lives.
As of writing this, we have already nearly sold out our large theater and will be adding a second
simultaneous screening. Tickets go on sale for our second show on Thursday, November 30th
at 10:00am. Lasso yours while you can at showroomcinemas.com
The ShowRoom, Asbury Park’s home of movies and more, is located at 707 Cookman Ave.,

The Stone Pony is proud to present Dogs in a Pile. The band hails from the Jersey Shore and Asbury Park. After non-stop national touring in 2023 the band has firmly established itself as one of the hottest new national breakout jambands!
Dogs in a Pile is the culmination of a love of music born from the deepest American roots of psychedelia, jazz, fusion, funk, traditional, and rock & roll. Sprung from the rich Asbury Park music scene in New Jersey, their serendipitous convergence has made for the kind of kindred intuition its members had only once dreamed of. Described as “listening to a single moving organism,” the sum of its five parts represents an original journey into the peaks and valleys of psychedelic improvisation, all while remaining reminiscent of so much we love of life and music.
The final iteration of “the Dogs” began with University of the Arts Philadelphia student and Asbury Park veteran Jimmy Law, along with his long-time friend Joe Babick, a 4 year veteran of the gifted young musician’s program at the nationally renowned Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ. Lightning struck when they were introduced to Berklee School of Music student and bass player Sam Lucid, who immediately suggested fellow Berklee student and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Kaplan. The addition of fellow Berklee student and collaborator Brian Murray
“The Dogs commonality and love for improvisation by way of bands like the Grateful Dead and Phish, as well as a fervent inclination for the study of jazz, fusion and classical music has helped shape the free-flowing style that is the Dogs. Their unique synergy and joy in creating “music as an atmosphere” equates simply to, as the band would say, “spreading good music and good energy to good people.” Happy Howlidaze! Bring on the Dog Pound!
