The Vansaders (Asbury Park) One of the best-drawing bands in the popular honky tonk town of Asbury Park, The Vansaders played so many great shows this year, including Dillinger Four at House of Independents and PEARS at Asbury Park Brewery, as well as The Slackers at Stan- hope House, plus a bunch of jam-packed sweaty sets at As- bury Park Yacht Club and Millhill Basement, often with The Crypt- keeper Five. Coming up will be New Year’s Eve with The Battery Electric at Bond Street Complex, and it’s free! The Vansaders then will release an acoustic LP, “Stand- still,” on Jan. 15 that will feature the first single and video of a rootsy cover of Jawbreaker’s “Kiss the Bottle.” That drops on Dec. 26. Look for a Record of the Week here on Jan. 10. Rack ball! Watch a video for “Kiss The Bottle” by The Vansaders NJ STAGE - ISSUE 54 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 125
