WEDNESDAY JAN 25th

The Return of Groucho Marxists "The New Brunswick NJ music scene has always been a bizarre amalgamation of disenfranchised punk rockers, ornery skinheads, weirdo goth folk, freaked-out college kids and directionless hippies. This is fertile musical ground when you can find a niche and defend it to the death. So goes the classic tale told by the members of THE GROUCHO MARXISTS. All members of previous local musical endeavors, the story woven by the Marxists isn't all that different than that of millions of musicians worldwide. You've heard the saga before: cool local band gaining momentum suddenly derailed by inner-band turmoil and a plethora of outside pressures." -Lastfm.com Honah Lee "Honah Lee is a straight forward, high energy Rock n' Roll band from Trenton, NJ. Influenced by bands like the Ramones, the Replacements, and the Pixies, Honah Lee delivers a refreshing, throwback sound that you can't quite put your finger on; simple music done right! Intoxicating melodies you can't shake from your brain" & The Grains A punk rock-n-roll blues band from New Brunswick, NJ doors at 7pm party time starts soon after $7 cover ALL AGES to see the show 21 and up to booze in the bar with the boys $10 for all you can bowl In the lounge... enjoy cocktails with the charming boys in the bar, Pete Pedersen and Skillit, and Justin At Snackworld... enjoy yummy snacks while you are enjoying the music At the front desk... get your bowl on with the lovely Lori Love and pretty Sarah Potter, who will make sure you get all your bowling needs met and will make sure that you get into the Lanes and play nice with the other kids

THURSDAY JAN 26th

EAT.DRINK.BOWL.HANG MOVIE NITE presented by: DJ JACK THE RIPPER & DJ JERRY CURLAN Banquets "While Banquets' debut 7", 2010's This Is Our Concern, Dude, was well-received and showed off a wealth of potential, the band's first full length, Top Button, Bottom Shelf, blows all expectations and pre-conceived notions out of the water. Sometimes a band comes along and is able to cut directly through all the bullshit. Banquets do just that on Top Button, Bottom Shelf. The band catches your attention right from the start with a sense of urgency and a call to arms that is palpable. The ten songs that make up the Top Button, Bottom Shelf build and hold the momentum for an incredibly rewarding and all too short 25 minutes. Waiting for some lull or filler to catch your breath is fruitless as the band delivers gem after gem. Banquets' refreshing take on melodic punk rock truly transcends any limitations of the genre. Of course you can talk of the band's pedigree, Banquets lead singer Travis Omilian was the original singer for Let Me Run and other members have played in bands such as Outsmarting Simon, Static Radio NJ, The Stand In and The Banner, but all that undersells just how quickly Banquets have grown into their very own exciting entity. Top Button, Bottom Shelf burns with passion and desperation as Banquets are searching for clarity amidst all the confusion of the world. These are songs about the frustrations of love & life told through weathered eyes and battered hearts. Yet there is an aching hopefulness for something real still to come." -Will Miller(Beartrap PR) Junior Battles Pop punk from Toronto Give Me Static A good old fashioned "alt-rock" band from Asbury Park, NJ & Joe Wilson & The Loose Ends Acoustic/Indie/Folk from Bogota, NJ Doors open at 8pm the fun starts when you get there $8 cover to see the bands 18 and up to watch the movie with us 21 to have drinks in the lounge
