[DID NOT ATTEND: May 19, 2022] The Front Bottoms / Long Neck / Jordan Jensen
I heard my son listening to The Front Bottoms. I didn’t realize he liked them when I saw them last year, but when the band announced this series of shows at White Eagle Hall, I knew the shows would be great and I knew he’d like to go.
Especially with this announcement
The Front Bottoms are playing a few intimate shows in their home state of NJ this spring. They’ve announced three nights at Jersey City’s White Eagle Hall on May 18, 19 and 20. “To say that we’re very excited to play Jersey City is an understatement,” drummer Mathew Uychich says. “These shows are going to be very special.” Guitarist / vocalist Brian Sella adds, “I spent the best years of my life in Jersey City! I should’ve never left. It’s an honor to return home once again!”
But it turned out that the night before was my rescheduled Deftones show which he went to. And he was pretty wiped out from it and didn’t feel like going to another long show. So we missed out on this one. Which seems a real shame.
Long Neck is Lily Mastrodimos.
A review of her 2018 album says that she now brings along a full-fledged rock band for the ride. Powerhouse guitar backings compliment her soulful voice in this album where easy listening meets folk-punk.
She sounds great solo, but if she played with a full band it would have been great.
Jordan Jensen is a comedian. A random review from Spokane says
Jordan Jensen is an old-school comic who lets it all hang out. The emerging New York entertainer doesn’t care who she offends. The amusing humorist is reminiscent of the late Sam Kinison and the late Mitch Hedberg since Jensen delivers the hottest of takes on relationships and pop culture.
I think a comedian is not a bad opening act. Ideally, have the comedian do stand up while the bands are breaking down and setting up.
