THIS WEEK'S BEST BETS:
FRIDAY | 3.23.07
Art. The closing party for "True Character," a show of photography by JC's own Laos Fois, is at the Lex Leonard Gallery in JC at 7 pm.
Film. _gaia presents the documentary Until the Violence Stops -- about the growth of Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues into a national movement and "V-Day" -- at Symposia Bookstore in Hoboken at 7 pm.
Theater. It's the last weekend for Art House Production's Camino Real over at Victory Hall in JC. Be sure to catch it tonight or tomorrow, both shows at 8 pm.
Concert. The early and late shows at Maxwell's are both worth your while...At 7:30 pm, Day Jobber and Ms.-I'm-featured-on-Weeds Jenny Owen Youngs opens for Jim Bianco. At 10 pm, the band named after everyone's favorite gay-or-not-gay weatherman, Sam Champion, opens for Ra Ra Riot and Thing One.
Concert. The Iron Monkey's got another solid Friday night bill tonight, with Water Under Water and 33rd Revolution -- that's at 10 pm.
Concert. Out in Montclair, for you EssexCo folks, there's an interesting show that is, from what I can understand, in the basement of a restaurant. There are six bands, including City Belt favorites Thunder Kids and Fun Machine. Rounding out the bill are Shape, GDP, Bully Mouth and PVD Nabil. The show's at a place called "8 Underground."
SATURDAY | 3.24.07
Art. The opening reception for "Photographic Vignettes of Everyday Cuba" opens at Newark's Gallery Twenty-One -- that's at 5 pm.
Art. Sticking with the Latin America theme, the opening reception
for "Bridging Gaps, A Latin American Perspective" is at the newly
relocated Galeria GOBA, which is now inside Hoboken's Right Angle frame
shop on Washington. That's at 6 pm.
Concert. Holly Golightly & The Broke-Offs, with the Griefs opening, at Maxwell's. Always worth the price of admission.
Concert. If you're willing to trek down to the Hub City (or you're already there), your best bet tonight is the record release show for the Roadside Graves. It's at the Court Tavern, and the Ribeye Brothers and Yarn are opening.
SUNDAY | 3.25.07
Art. The Hoboken Historial Museum has an interesting exhibit opening: "Beautiful Downtown Hoboken: Photographs from the 1970s." See what the last 30 years have -- and haven't -- changed, at 2 pm.
Film/Food. LITM continues it's "Sunday in Italy" thing, with two
film screenings -- Blow-Up at 5 pm and L'Aventura at 8 pm -- and their
Italian cuisine. Sounds like a decent way to kick back and kill five
hours of a lazy Sunday evening.
Karaoke. If you want to be a little more active, The Super Karaoke
Funtime Band, our favorite local live funtime (is there any other
kind?) karaoke band, is at the Corkscrew in JC Heights, at 8 pm. Show
off those pipes, people!
MONDAY | 3.26.07
Concert. Ever wonder what Danny from the New Kids on the Block has been up to all these years? Yeah, me neither. But when I saw his name on the Maxwell's concert listing, I admit my interest was piqued. My guess is that he'll be pissed if you request "Hangin' Tough" or "Step by Step," but you'll have to go to find out.
THURSDAY | 3.29.07
Art. The "Introducing" series continues tonight at the JC Museum -- tonight, Mary Birmingham introduces Dahlia Elsayed, a New Jersey painter who says her work is "part data-tracking, part topography." She makes nice stuff, it's free, you should check it. At 7 pm.
Concert. Over at the Goldhawk in Hoboken, Jersey-boy turned Virginia-boy Luke Brindley stops by for a free show, with Dean Fields opening. It starts at 8 pm.
