THURSDAY FEB 2nd

EAT.DRINK.BOWL.HANG Groundhog's Day celebration Brick By Brick Productions Presents: Spread The Seed Tour with Tomorrows Bad Seeds Tomorrows Bad Seeds, "leaders of the new school" is a five piece American band from Hermosa Beach, California formed in 2004. Their Southern California influences helped yield their unparalleled sound. A perfect mix of rock, pop, punk, reggae and hip-hop guaranteed to hook you. From break dancing to spinning tracks these boys emerged into multi-cultural musical phenomenon with a cause. Meet the Seeds: Moises Juarez (lead vocals), Sean Chapman (vocals/guitar), Matthew McEwan (vocals/guitar), Patrick Salmon (drums), and Andre Davis (bass). Tomorrows Bad Seeds prove to be extremely talented musicians, vocalists and entertainers as a whole. Their live show provides a high-energy performance that will have you begging for more. Since the band's inception, they have shared the stage with the likes of UB40, 311, Pennywise, Smashing Pumpkins, The Wailers, Eek-A-Mouse, and Fishbone, just to name a few. Pacific Dub Pacific Dub is one of the youngest and newest bands to solidify themselves as professionals within the Reggae-Rock scene. Coming from Surf City USA, Pacific Dub resides in Huntington Beach which is nestled nicely in southern California's Orange County. Other bands such as Korn, The Offspring, Avenged Sevenfold, and The Dirty Heads all have members that call this surfer's paradise home.Combining catchy chorus's, heavy rock n' roll guitar melodies, and smooth hip-hop and reggae rhythms are all significant characteristics that add to Pacific Dub's coastal vibe, and genuine objective of creating innovative alternative-rock-reggae while sharing a message of love and peace. Passafire Passafire was formed in 2003 by students attending Savannah College of Art and Design. Throughout the years they have become a perpetually touring band playing hundreds of shows a year with bands like 311, Pepper, Rebelution, Matisyahu, Michael Franti, The Wailers and many more. Bowne doesn't mind the grueling schedule and adds, "Touring is the best way to keep the buzz about the band going. What keeps it fun and exciting is the people we meet and places we get to see. We are in a new city every day so there's always something to go see or do. If we didn't tour constantly, we wouldn't be doing as well as we are. That's a fact."   Set It Free Set It Free is a 5-piece rock band from Brick, New Jersey who formed in 2010. The band currently consists of vocalist Andrew Williams, guitarists Joey DeAngelo and Mike Gurnari, bassist Patrick Dwyer and drummer Victor Pascale. Doors open at 7pm the fun starts when you get there $15 cover to see the bands 18 and up to watch the movie with us 21 to have drinks in the lounge

FRIDAY FEB 3rd

*friday night at the lanes with Supertouch There is a short list of musical groups within the hardcore spectrum that elude simple description. The only way for one to imagine the sound is to not imagine it at all but to simply partake in full immersion. One such band emerged from the burgeoning late 80's New York hardcore scene. An act whose name itself is now synonymous with its divergent sound. That band is Supertouch. At a time when most groups topical mainstays were reactionary politics, religious dogmas and street survival, Supertouch challenged its listeners to seek within themselves. A gauntlet thrown down for one to confront the tide of conformity in a micro-niche non-conformist subculture. An invitation to expand ones musical appreciations without diverting at all from the original mission statement. Deconstruct, take what's best and rebuild, move onward and upward. Supertouch became the most welcomed enigma on east coast matinee bills, stealing audiences wherever they ventured and giving a battle hardened scene the ability to reflect on itself. For a band so ahead of it's time, their roots actually stretch back to the dawn of New York Hardcore and singer Mark Ryan's first band Death Before Dishonor (not to be confused with the current Boston band of the same name) who played landmark shows at legendary clubs like CBGB and A7 and also featured future members of Judge. DBD evolved into Supertouch with the arrival of guitarist Jon Biviano whose skilled playing and songwriting exhibited more than a passing familiarity with the finer points of classic rock. The band was soon caught up in the second great wave of NYHC, contributing the anthem "Searchin' For The Light" to Revelation Records' era-defining compilations: the Together 7" and New York City Hardcore: The Way It Is LP. The ultra-rare What Did We Learn 7" followed in 1989 and their full length album on Revelation, The Earth Is Flat, was released in 1991. The band toured the US and Europe several times in the years following before breaking up amidst the confusion of the mid-90's while recording their sophomore full-length leading to rumors of a "great lost Supertouch album." After performing a surprise set at the 2010 Black N' Blue Bowl in New York City (A.K.A. The Super Bowl of Hardcore) the band decided to re-convene to coincide with several highly-anticipated historical releases. There will be a limited edition vinyl pressing of the band's famed 1988 live set on WNYU's Crucial Chaos Radio Show, an essential commodity of 1980's tape traders and their only recorded document outside of compilation tracks for some time. Most importantly the bands occulted second full length album from 1996, "Guide to the Stars" will be finally unveiled. The group has decided to reveal this long awaited effort through the critically embraced Reaper Records, as the label's mission echos the band's. To thine own self be true! Supertouch's current lineup includes founding members Mark Ryan and Jon Biviano and their 90's-era powerhouse drummer Rich Edsell. They will be joined on bass by Dean Baltulonis, who also plays in Ryan's current band Foreign Islands and is known for his production work with The Hold Steady and Sick Of It All among countless others. The band will be touring Europe in early of 2011 before returning to the US for select dates. Immerse yourself. Crushed   Too Many Voices Andrew West (Kill Your Idols) and Eric Svirida(The Last Crime) started assembling the line-up that would eventually become Too Many Voices in mid-2010. They added guitarist, Ivan Gonzalez(25 ta Life), Scott Winegard(Texas Is the Reason/Fountainhead) on bass, and in early, 2011, the line-up was solidified with the addition of Chris Daly(TITR/108/Jets To Brazil) on drums. The plan was simple. Play as often as possible, write and record a full-length, and play shows when the time is right.   Snowdonia New hardcore goodness from the "Shore" & Born Annoying   early doors open at 7pm Bands start soon after $10 cover ALL AGES to come and play with us 21 and up to have cocktails $10 all you can bowl in the lounge..layney lanes yummy drink specials "20 SKULLS" by Noah Scalin art show on view and on sale on the walls pete pedersen's comedic one-liners and a great selection of beers and drinks in a comfy, cozy bar at snackworld... tater tots,tater tots and more tater tots plus a great menu full of delicious snacks at the front desk... the lovely lori hatred will be making sure that all of your bowling needs are met, she will take care of your lane when it breaks and she will make sure that you act right and tight.
