Hey Everyone, So by now most have you have already heard the news that another local venue that supported original live music has closed it's doors. Uncle Joe's was never the greatest venue, it's layout and soundsystem was far from great, but it was a venue that gave original bands a place to play. With it's closing, we are all reminded how few places there are in NJ that support original music, and how we need to support those places to ensure their longevity as a place to see up and coming artists. There is a lot of talent in New Jersey, and any of the bands you hear on BlowUpRadio.com have the potential to be the next big thing, but if there are no places left for them to play, then we all miss out. So make sure you frequent venues that support original music. It's not hard to tell which ones they are, they are the venues you see listed on the Concert Calendar every week, most of them struggling to stay open because the owners and bookers care about the music too. So go to those venues and thank their staff for supporting original music. Let them know there are a lot of us out there that are thankful for having a place to go to see good original music. R.I.P. Uncle Joe's...may you be the last supporter of original music to close it's doors... Peace, Lazlo

Lazlo Well if you like to rock and roll, Maxwell's is the place to be Saturday (you can see Jim Testa's pick for more info), but if you are under 21 or looking for something a little more relaxed, you can go to Cafe Arabica...(more) |

Testa It's rare that the opening band on a 4-band bill steals the thunder but that's the case at Maxwell's on Saturday, as the newly reunited Aviso'Hara kicks off an excellent evening of local bands. Aviso'Hara was one of the most popular...(more) |

Migden I attempted to do a bit of research on the origins of Friday the 13th for this column (since it's comig up this week), but only came up with a lot of "If you do x, it will be a bad x on Friday the 13th." Fortunately for us...(more) |
