OT: NJ musical artists
- Thread starter 8th Man
- Start date
Band members may have attended ru post fame. I attended COOK FALL 81 TO may 1986. Somewhere within the Cook paper reported the guitarist? was a then current student.
WORST SONG EVER. I hope she dies a horrible death for recording that song. And now its stuck in my head - again.
Very funny. Homage to both Bruce and the Misfits.
Also that was the most punk sounding song they have ever done.
They were at RU long before 81. I'm sure someone will have an exact year, but it was in the 70's.
The first time I went to Maxwell's it was to see The Feelies. Probably around 1982.
And of course the most underrated, under appreciated band of all time doesn’t even get a mention in a 4 page thread about NJ music !
Let’s just call them the most mismanaged band in history -
From the blue collar town of Garfield,NJ ...
The Rascals
Some of their hits include : Good Lovin, How can I be sure , it’s a beautiful morning , Groovin, I’ve been lonely too long and much much more.

Patti Smith's musical director, Lenny Kaye played at many RU dances at the commons in the mid 60's (the band was called the Zoo)...and he graduated from Rutgers!

He taught a music class I took sophomore year on Douglass campus, I forget the exact name but it covered popular genres of music up to the mid-eighties. fun class and well attended.
You Probably hated it because of what it implied, I'd say this was a
ground breaker, and the beginning of what followed in coming years.
She was an absolute favorite of mine, My wife and I went to see her at the Garden State
Arts Center, she was alone on the stage and it was her and her guitar, no backup music
no back up singers, and it was the worst show I have ever seen.

No, not why I hated it, for me it was like nails on a blackboard, but to each their own.
A lot of you guys are older - but I'll throw in some younger Jersey groups I think most of you will like:
The Gaslight Anthem
Bruce has performed with them in the past
The lead singer does his own solo stuff now as well, Brian Fallon:
Anthony D'Amato

Maybe one member attended later or took time off or was ayyendond grad scjppl. Paper said...Maybe of was 80s fake news.
From Wikipedia
The group was formed in 1969, at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The original version of the band broke up after college, with original members Elliot Lurie and Larry Gonsky recruiting two new members to form the classic Looking Glass lineup:[1]
