Makin Waves with The Anderson Council: Keeping Young

If you are a fan of British Invasion power pop and psychedelia and subsequently inspired acts, Highland Park-based The Anderson Council are you’re jam. Released on Jersey-based JEM Records — home to similar Garden State acts The Weeklings and The Grip Weeds — last year’s 14-song “Worlds Collide” is one of the best things the psyche-pop four-piece ever have done during their 21 years, following four previous LPs and an anthology.  

Makin Waves Record of the Week: "Lila" by San Tropez


The Highland Park-based dream pop outfit San Tropez will play in support of their passionate five-song debut EP, “Lila,” on March 20 at The Asbury Soundbooth in Asbury Park and April 11 at Pino’s, their hometown haven for original bands.

Light Opera of New Jersey Goes Batty for "Die Fledermaus"

On February 21 and 22, Light Opera of New Jersey presents the delightful operetta “Die Fledermaus” by Johann Strauss II in Basking Ridge. The operetta, which first debuted in 1874, will be performed in English (so you can get the jokes), despite keeping the German-language title. That’s often the case with this operetta, since it’s known best as “Fledermaus,” and it feels really weird to call it “The Bat.” (And by “Bat” I mean the flying mammal, not a baseball bat. And no, this isn’t some vampire comedy either. But you’ll figure that out when I get to the plot-telling below.)

The New Brunswick Jazz Project Turns 10

Did you know that New Brunswick, N.J. is the only place in the country where you can see live, world-class jazz every week for free? You can thank the New Brunswick Jazz Project. We recently sat down with the New Brunswick Jazz Project team at Tavern on George, where most of their events take place. Jimmy Lenihan, Virginia DeBerry, and Michael Tublin are long-time friends who share a passion for jazz, and, 10 years ago, they set out on a mission together to bring live jazz back to New Jersey in a big way.
