Blowup
"I Saw God"

Released in 2003

Blowup was a band from New Jersey in the early 2000s led by Jon Leidersdorff who formed the band after years in the band Outcry.

This was one of my favorite songs of the early 2000s. Sadly, I could not find it online.

Leidersdorff is the owner of Lakehouse Studios in Asbury Park, New Jersey. He started the company in 2013.

I interview Jon Leidersdorff for my book, Beyond the Palace. The interview is available here

Tony Tedesco & Friends at Belmar Arts Center

(BELMAR, NJ) -- "Are you going to write about the show?" I was asked at the Belmar Arts Center. To be honest, I hadn’t gone to the show planning to write about it. The show was billed as "Tony Tedesco & Friends" and featured Tony with Keith Monacchio and Lou Montesano - three guys you might have been able to see each week at The Saint 20 years ago.
