I don't know. But your question answers the question: why do I know about Tiny LIghts?

So who else would've been a regular at Maxwell's in the late 80s/early 90s, besides the Feelies and YLT?
Not necessarily from Hoboken, e.g., Luna was sort of a successor band.

Oh man this is fucking depressing. Maxwell's reopens as a Blueshammer venue.
From their events section:
MICHAEL POWERS
“If outrageous blues guitar is your thing, if the electric Delta blues Jimi Hendrix played fires you soul – but if you also appreciate the humble tomes of acoustic guitar – you need to check out Michael Powers” – Boston Blues Society“Powers is the future of the blues” – Billboard Magazine

Yeah somewhere there's a really inadvertently hilarious profile of the new owners, maybe was posted on another thread?

Here's the original article, more entertaining than the blog post imo:http://hudsonreporter.com/view/full_story/26002941/article-Bringing-Maxwell-s-back-to-live--Iconic-music-venue-reopened-and-reimagined-under-new-owners--?instance=hoboken_top_story
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 14 November 2014 21:24 (eleven years ago)
The blogger is right, Maxwells wasn't a dive. It was a typical restauranta/bar that happened to book many of the best bands of the last 30 years. Fuck 2014 hoboken and the fucking cake boss.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 14 November 2014 21:47 (eleven years ago)
Oh yeah of course, it was definitely not a dive. It was actually one of my favorite area places to play because you'd get to sit comfortably and enjoy a good meal and a craft beer.
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 14 November 2014 21:48 (eleven years ago)
Stay hilarious, nu-Maxwell's

"Crewman Number Six (the name is a Star Trek reference) have been pounding out their "heavy, soul-funkin' hard rock music" for more than a decade" wow
― anonanon, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:21 (eleven years ago)
sounds exhausting
― Kooki-Wan Tanooki (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:23 (eleven years ago)
ten years of sisyphuslike pounding with no end in sight to the heavy soul-funkin'

Don't worry everyone, I'm still far away from this stuff in downtown Hobok- oh wait.
There's no escape.
― Evan, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:31 (eleven years ago)
The spirit of the term "soul funkin" reminds me of that classic Eagleheart blues episode.
― Evan, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:33 (eleven years ago)
No eight nights of Hannukah, but Christmas show with Bon Jovi tribute band Slippery When Wet
― Kooki-Wan Tanooki (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:33 (eleven years ago)
xpost it sounds v blueshammer to me

Yeah my town is now completely devoid of culture beyond "COLLEGE FOREVER BRO!" though I think Ira and Georgia are still residents as well. Same with Todd-o-phonic. Haven't heard of any plans of theirs otherwise yet.
― Evan, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:37 (eleven years ago)
sloth you should watch that Eagleheart episode if you haven't.
― Evan, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:38 (eleven years ago)
whats eagleheart
― hanley ramirez ordering a pizza (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:38 (eleven years ago)
Todd for a while was involved in booking concerts at the Jersey City Loews, was he not? That still happening?
― Kooki-Wan Tanooki (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:38 (eleven years ago)
Eagleheart is one of those batshit adult swim shows that exist as a satire of a particular television drama genre then usually quickly become fever dreams. That episode stands out though. You'd like it.
― Evan, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:48 (eleven years ago)
funny, I saw a preview of Eagleheart when Chris Elliot was the comic guest when The Trypes opened for Yo La Tengo duing the eight nights of Hannukah a few years back.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 16:55 (eleven years ago)
xxpost
Todd has set up some shows there (Neutral Milk Hotel/Jeff Mangum for example) but he is working on opening up a new venue in Jersey City. Otherwise he has been booking the Bell House in Gowanus BK.
