shaa--weeet.

Its always good news to see a new all ages venue open, but ive seen quite a few open and close here in san diego.

stole the words right from my mouth.

happy for the kids in this area, hope some awesome shows come through there, and they all enjoy it. a new venue opening is always an exciting thing.

Dammit. Open a place in the Ocean/Monmouth County area.

[Skadude]

wow that is where i live rite there exactly, too bad im at school in towson md

[excessdb]

I feel really good about this place. All 3 owners of the place are all big music supporters, and there are no residential neighbors by the place to complain about noise, and there buttloads of (free) parking. 2 out of the 3 owners are musicians themselves!

Funny cause I vacation in Pittsburgh. Imagine that. I'm serious too.

love excessdb, and i love jersey shows.

[The Matt Kaufman]

yes monmouth or ocean county definitely needs their own venue..Im tired of having to travel at least an hour when Im home up to Starland when if we lived up near New York I could go 20 minutes to a bunch of venues.

monmouth county has the stone pony, most of the shows of interest there are all ages.

Its small, shitty, and run down. Sure Saves the Day is playing there April 1st but its really small and crummy. The fact is we need a place the size of Starland that can attract bands. No one even plays the Convention Center anymore. Krome wasn't that bad a drive but its gone now.

i'm moving to NJ in one month, stoked.

[seancoia]

damn you new jersey, close all the venues within 20 minutes of my house and move norther.

[StevevetS]

New Jersey needs more mid-size venues like Krome was. Places like the Bloomfield Ave Cafe and the local VFW halls aren't cutting it. The sound is no good and places like BAC have no parking on Friday or Saturday nights. They need a hall strictly for shows, no teen nights, no hip hop clubs(which was the final nail in the coffin for Krome after that kid got shot). A nice venue like that would be awesome for Jersey shows.

what the heck do you do in monmouth county. i do nothing other than shows or the beach.

[excessdb]

they don't do teen nights at this place, and its bigger than bloomfield ave, and the sound will be good.

[monstersonmaple]

about time. i miss Krome's.

[bennyspictures]

well thats good to hear,is it 2 rooms, so 1 room can be for bigger shows like how krome was?

Crazy, I love the Stone Pony. I've played there many of times. I'll be there this month actualy

[njkid54]

for those who live in the central new jersey area like middlesex county, a hall at the 4H camp in east brunswick (cranbury road) is allowing shows to be put on there.

[NJUNDERDOG]

no one plays convention hall anymore because of the shit that happened with bamboozle

[xOMGmyspacex]

hell yeah for that being like 20 minutes from me.

[permanent]

I am excited for this venue since it's so close to me.

[IHopeYourAlone]

how far is bergen county from monmouth county NJ? i live in tinton falls/redbank area.

it's probably 163 off the parkway. thats about an hour, hour and 15 minutes.

[excessdb]

its off exit 159 - rt 80 east - as the most direct route

Stone Pony is sweet.

agreed. the pony was one of my fav's in NJ. it doesn't get the big shows like starland, but some really cool shows happen there. that place beats the hell out of CBGB's in NY.

[we are cured]

krome wasn't that great either. but maybe im biased. one time i parked on this fat steelers fan's lawn (because that part of sayreville is against curbs) and when i got back after the show, he said to me, "they were going to write you a ticket, but i wanted to deal with you myself." i've never got an old grand prix to move more quickly in my life.

[pr0jectmayhem26]

we do have some great places for shows, but you have to miss birch hill and krome.

luckily starland is really nice, but places like bloomfield and hamilton are weak.

[R7265ab]

I also vote for a Monmouth County venue there is a huge gap left when krome and birch hill closed.

[Joanna187]

I'm pretty excited for this. It's only a bit over half an hour's drive from me. And all this talk about Krome makes me sad. I miss that place like hell.

[NJUNDERDOG]

birch hill was the best venue in nj. the pony doesnt get that many big shows because it costs alot to rent it out.
