New Jersey Stage Issue 54 | Page 108

March 2017, it’s at least tried to cover North and South Jersey too for New Jersey Stage and, once again, The Aquarian. So for the first time since ’95, the Makin Waves Dirty Dozen returns to the New Jersey music scene with a look at what The Battery Electric, Colossal Street Jam, Cook Thugless, Crazy & the Brains, The Cryptkeeper Five, Deal Casino, Experiment 34, Lowlight, Nalani & Sarina, P-Funk North, The Vansaders, and The Vaughns accomplished in 2018 and what they’ll be up to in the coming year. I’d like to thank most of these acts for playing Makin Waves shows this year and/or in years past. This year alone, Makin Waves presented or sponsored a dozen shows with 10 of them. I’m very grateful. For a deeper dive, see coverage of them all at NJ Stage. The Makin Waves Dirty Dozen in alphabetical order from top left to right: The Battery Electric, Colossal Street Jam, Cook Thugless, Crazy & the Brains, The Cryptkeeper Five, Deal Casino, Experiment 34, Lowlight Nalani & Sarina, P-Funk North, The Vansaders, and The Vaughns.
