Tigers Jaw (Crossroads, Garwood, NJ, March 8, 2022)

[POSTPONED: July 18, 2020] Tigers Jaw

Back in 2020, Tigers Jaw was scheduled to play a show in Garwood at a place called Crossroads.  I had never heard of Crossroads, but there was a flyer in the local Jersey Mike’s.  I was intrigued because I knew a little about Tigers Jaw and I liked what I’d heard.

Then those shows were cancelled and eventually, they came touring around and I saw them at Union Transfer–a sold out show.

They were supposed to open for Circa Survive in February and March, but that tour was cancelled at the last minute, so Tigers Jaw decided to do a small tour of their own called The Last Minute Magic Tour.  And so they finally made it to Crossroads.

The venue was great–excellent sound, great sight lines.  It holds about 200 people.  I assume it sold out–but what a difference from Union Transfer.

The crowd was 100% fans of the band and it started out fun and chill.  But there was one guy who was insistent on starting a pit.  At first people kind of ignored him, but by the end there was some serious moshing around in an uncontrolled way–I got almost knocked down once. (more…)

Cave People (Crossroads, Garwood, NJ, March 8, 2022) [TIGERS JAW]

[ATTENDED: March 8, 2022] Cave People

Cave People is the project of Dave Tomaine.  I don’t know much about them–except that he is friends with Tigers Jaw from a long time ago.

I listened to one of their songs before the show and found it to be kinda folky and okay.  So I thought the set might be solo.  But instead, five people filled the stage.  Tomaine gave a quick introduction of everyone, but I don’t remember what he said.

There were three guitars onstage  In front of me was the lead guitarist.  On the far side was a rhythm guitarist who played a few leads.  In the middle was Tomaine.

I realized about half way through the set that Tomaine’s amp was either louder than everyone else’s or was facing right at me while the other pointed away.  So while one of the guitarists was playing lead, all I could hear was the rhythm.

Which was a shame since when Tomaine was playing quietly, the full band sounded great together.

The bassist and drummer were also good (and loud enough).  I also loved the drummer’s hair. (more…)

Tigers Jaw / Gladie / Kayleigh Goldsworthy (Crossroads, Garwood, NJ, July 18, 2020) [rescheduled date–POSTPONED]

[POSTPONED: July 18, 2020] Tigers Jaw / Gladie / Kayleigh Goldsworthy [rescheduled from April 24]

indexThis show was moved from April 24 and is now postponed once again.

Tigers Jaw is a band I know from a Tiny Desk Concert.  They played poppy gentle rock.  I had seen a poster for one of their shows up in a local sub shop recently.  At the time, the band was Ben Walsh and Brianna Collins and they traded off lead vocals and harmonies wonderfully.  Their new pictures show four members, so perhaps they have fleshed out their sound.

Gladie is a band that has formed out of the ashes of Cayetana, a Philadelphia band that I’ve heard of for years but don’t know anything about.  Shame they broke up I guess, but Gladie has resulted. Gladie plays gentle alt pop sung by Augusta Koch.

Kayleigh Goldsworthy is also from Philadelphia. She has a great 90s alt rock sound.  Her album has a full band, but I imagine she’d be playing solo.

This show wasn’t super high on my “gotta see” list, but i would have enjoyed a mellow, pretty night.  However, I was planning on seeing Ministry this same evening (such a choice!) so I hope the new, new date works out.

I have never been to Garwood, but it’s not too far.  It seems like a good club to check out.  It turns out that late April was a very busy concert time for me so I wasn’t going to go to this show. But maybe the postponed date will work out.
