[DID NOT ATTEND: August 23, 2024] Pollyanna / Latewaves / Froggy
I was supposed to see Pollyanna open for Jhariah back in January. They had to bail because they were touring with someone else. I was also suppose to see them at the Ukie Club, but it didn’t happen.
So I was excited to see them at this show which was listed as being at Asbury Lanes ut actually took place on the Baronet Rooftop at the Asbury Hotel. I have no idea if that’s a thing that happens much. I don’t know if it ‘s a bigger, better venue or just a change of venue.
I was looking forward to experiencing this whole night. And then we booked our vacation for that week. So, no Pollyanna yet again.
Latewaves is a rock band from Asbury Park, NJ that is trying their best. They do rock although in a more poppy than punky way. They seem like they’d be fun live.
Froggy is a Philadelphia based queer punk band. The members are all quite young. Actually that was true when I first posted about them two years ago. I don’t know how old they are now, but I’m glad they’re still going.
Musically they are pretty tight and their musical sense is all over the place with punk noise (love it!). Their first single 7-11 Nachos has an early Black Flag (TV Party) vibe. But I’m not a fan of the singer’s voice.
