While readying their fourth EP and second LP for spring and then
eventual release, Deal Casino will hone the material live on Wednes-
days at a residency at Langosta Lounge in their base of Asbury Park.
They also will perform March 16 at Asbury Park Brewery with Modern
Chemistry and March 31 at the Makin Waves 30th Anniversary Party at
the Wonder Bar with Williams Honor, The Vansaders, The Upstage Jam
Band, Colossal Street Jam, Nalani & Sarina and many more.
Deal Casino have to be one of

on March 16 at Asbury Park Brew-

Sarina, Upstage Jam Band featur-
ing Paul Whistler, Vini Lopez, Joe
Petillo and Billy Ryan and much,
