(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- Opening
24 November, 2015, Asbury Park's
HOUSE OF INDEPENDENTS located at
572 Cookman Avenue is poised to become downtown’s
premiere live entertainment venue through an eclectic mix of
theatre,
dance,
film,
comedy,
oddities,
late night fare, and, of course, the
music that has placed Asbury on the global radar. Located in the heart of downtown, House will make a home for emerging and established culture renaissancing Cookman's Arts District through a wellspring of gay, concrete and established culture.
OPEN HOUSE! Celebrating 25+ groundbreaking years, FISHBONE has been trailblazing their way through the history of American Ska, Funk, Punk, Rock Fusion and (so-called) Black Rock since starting their professional career in Los Angeles' burgeoning, Alternative Rock music scene of the mid-1980s. These iconic innovators open Asbury Park's House of Independents with a frantic, euphorically entertaining stage show that has cultivated their undisputed reputation as one of the best live acts in music history. Watch Fishbone burn down the house with an Opening Night Concert on Tuesday, 24 November 2015. Doors open at 7pm. Showtime 8pm. Tickets are $20 and available through the House of Independents website.
House of Independents celebrates this spirit wtih a stage that salutes both legendary and emerging artists with venue opening performances by Fishbone (24 Nov), Henry Rollins (Dec 11th & 12th; Sold Out), New York's avant-garde puppet theatre Lone Wolf Tribe (2016), Philadelphia's award-winning Junk Dance (22 & 23 Jan), The Light of Day Foundation concerts (2016), comedic headliners from The Stress Factory, Farmers market weekends from Asbury Fresh (28 Nov, 5 Dec, 12 Dec, 19 Dec), Offseaon poetry with music (13 Feb), oddiites direct from the iconic Asbury Lanes, the heart-stirring holiday classic Christmas Carol (16-20 Dec), and many more surprises.
With the iconic Asbury Lanes closing for "renovations" and weathering an uncertain future, we have opened our doors to some of its beloved, now homeless, programming. Asbury Lanes' Juicy Jenn Hampton will curate "Asbury Lanes presents..." series becoming our Cabaret Mistress to cultivate our own in-house troupe of oddities inspired by burlesque to vaudeville, the sideshows of Coney Island, and the decadent splendor of Paris' Moulin Rouge.
Developed in Victorian times as a playground for glam metropolitan types — where tattoo conventions, beer festivals, and punk rock flea markets now tramp the streets— it’s Asbury Park's eclectic music scene that gave the place it’s spirit. A capital of cool, where
The Clash,
The Doors, and
The Stones all rocked and roamed, where surfers stacked shacks, and street-legal graffiti murals the seascape with a town cry of “Keep Asbury Weird”, this year a multi-billion dollar redevelopment has begun to transform the waterfront through curated residential, hotel and infrastructure investments. It is the most significant revitalization ever undertaken on the Eastern Seaboard which
The New York Times recently captured in its story celebrating this “
Brooklyn on the Beach”
