Wonder-ing
Welcome to the Krude Experience,coming to you from
scenic,semi-legendary Asbury Park,New Jersey.Your host,yours truly,Kapn Krude
is in AssBury Park(ing) Ticket to catch an awesome rock show starring the truly
legendary NJ natives Dramarama and the soon
to be legendary NJ natives The Battery Electric.
So let the booze flow free and let Krude guide you towards some real rock
vibes,in the heart of Dirty Jersey: Asbury Park.
A kinda new pre-show ritual for Krude has been involving
doing a few cheap shots of Fireball whiskey. I bought these little bottles on
the corner of 1st Ave and 54th st in Manhattan. Me and my good buddy (and
project manager for my home reno jobs) often grab a few of these and drink them
during lunch break in a nearby park,overlooking the East River.Drinking on the
job never gets old. Fireball is good shit. But just average rotgut. I need
something stronger during the show. As always.
Just my luck. A cute chick approaches me at the Wonder Bar
bar and inquires about the Quireboys t shirt
I'm wearing. She's a fan of Spike n' the boys. Hell yeah! She is here with a
few cute friends as well. Good to have a female drinking bud at a rock gig.
Better to have 3. Hahahahaha. Krude being Krude.
I spot Brent,guitarist for The Battery Electric,drinking at
the outdoor bar before their set. Hell Yeah!
The Battery Electric are Krude's favorite band at the
moment. Their performance tonight was nothing short of solid,spectacular rock.
If they come to your town,GO! If you feel like spending $10 on a mp3
download,get any one of the Battery Electric albums. They are AWESOME. BELIEVE
IT. Krude approved. Shit. I love Rock n Roll. And Jack on the rocks. Believe
it. Yeah!
If you don't know who Dramarama is,don't feel bad. You do
now,thanks to Krude. Dramarama has been making rock music for over 30 years.
I've been listening to them for about 27 years. To see most of the original
band play their balls off in a smallish bar was awe inspiring. All they had to
do to make my night complete was play Last Cigarette,Prayer,and Haven't Got A
Clue. Check. Check. And check. Damn. They did. Holy shit. What a great rock
band. And a new album coming out soon. They never disappoint with their music. Thank
you John Easdale and friends. Keep the Rock coming.
Asbury Park is still a bizarre place to go when traveling
down the Garden State Parkway. When you begin to approach Asbury by car,you
will see a very busy liquor store (see Krude Experience blog from August 2015
for more detail on that liquor store). The ride towards the beach is sketchy,to
say the least.The boardwalk area is almost ok these days. But the real lure of
this town is the Stone Pony and the Wonder Bar. Some of the greatest shows you
will ever see will be performed at one of these clubs. Word.
Bagged ice is the only reason to step foot in an 7-11 in NJ
(no booze sales at NJ convenience stores). Stay chill....
Love
Peace
Soul,
KK
