Swimmers!
Thanks to all of you who came out to the Dublin House last night! We had a blast and looks like we'll be back there this summer, possibly even playing outside on the patio which will be freakin' sweet. Thanks also to Dark Passenger for providing the sultry & wonderful intermission entertainment!
The band for the evening was:
Boris Veysman: bass
Steve Dans: drums
Peter J. Bellomo: keys/vocals
Sean Calvert: percussion/vocals
PJ Donofrio: percussion
moi: guitar/vocals
I forgot to print out setlists so we pretty much winged (wung?) it, but I'm pretty sure we played the following tunes:
Set One:
Allie Says
Dire Straits
Lost Boy
Shame
The Kids Ain't Alright
I Don't Like Love
My Chevrolet
City of Golden Lights
Whore
Batten Down the Hatches
Set Two:
White Light (with Steve Hono on drums)
Amen
Stealing Coins From Wishing Wells
Paradise
Robin Hood
The Red Eye
Over It
Something like that. Not sure if anyone took any pics or anything, if they did I'll post 'em soon. At the moment we've got no shows booked and will focus on finishing up "Good Job, Honey" and continue working on our next full-band affair, "Lifeboat for Fatty." Hopefully we'll be returning to the stage in late March or April to blow your minds with some new tunes.
Until then, safe swimming,
Vincent & Lifeguard Nights

Dublin House Thursday!
Swimmers!
Lifeguard Nights is invading NJ this Thursday night, armed with some heavy duty rock and roll. The shit goes down at the Dublin House, 30 Monmouth Street in Red Bank, one of our favorite watering holes. We'll be melting faces from 9 til 11 or so, and it is my understanding that this event is free to the public. There will also be a special performance by Lord Calvert's new troupe, which you should not miss. Come on out and get wild!
Safe swimming,

LIVE IN 3D!
Swimmers!
A few weeks ago, some of us guards got together at the last minute to bid farewell to my old apartment, which happened to be apartment #3D. For 6 years, 3D was more than just my home, it was my sanctuary, my fortress of solitude, my study, my studio, my muse, my vomit receptacle, my den of inequity, and much much more. Hundreds of songs were penned in that apartment, countless friendships were formed, strange videos were shot, loves were won and lost (and ultimately won for good when I met Eve), and infinite memories were made. Lifeguard Nights itself was born in 3D, with a few spirited open jam sessions right in my bedroom. If the walls of 3D could speak, oh the stories they could tell. Actually they'd probably just start screaming and then mumbling incoherently, for they are most likely traumatized beyond repair. I pity the new tenants.
Anyway, I've always wanted to record a live album in the apartment and call it "Live in 3D" but never got around to it. About a month ago I learned I had to move out of 3D and into a new apartment in the building. After a long week of heavy lifting, sweating, wheezing and sobbing uncontrollably, Eve and I were all moved out of 3D and we Lifeguards had one last chance to attempt some sort of "Live in 3D" recording. Only problem was I had moved all my recording equipment out of the room already. Good thinking on my part. However,a few of us were able to get together and have a good little jam session and record it on video. It's a little sloppy at times (we may have been a little banged up) but that's the spirit of 3D. Lifeguard Nights does not believe in perfection, we believe in having fun with it. So here ya go, the Lifeguard Nights: Live in 3D Video Series. Enjoy, and fare thee well, 3D, you shall be missed.
the band for the evening was:
Boris Veysman: bass, vocals
Peter Bellomo: keys, vocals
Brad Clymer: trumpet, vocals
Mike Gallina: guitar
Dave Biskup: shaker?
Nick Oliver: heckling
and me: guitar, vocals
"Downtown" -- The first Lifeguard Nights song, written/recorded in 3D
"Shame"
"Lost Boy"
"Fred's Going to Haiti" -- a brand new tune we improvised on the spot

Crappy Valentine's Day!
Swimmers!
Yep, Valentine's Day is here again, just to annoy the shit out of all of us. Even those of us who are happily in love. But for those of you who might find yourself all alone this Sunday, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a nice romantic evening by yourself. Listen to this Lifeguard Nights Valentine's Day classic "I Choo Choo Choose Me" for further instructions:

As for the rest of you, wear some prophylactics dammit. We got too many people running around this planet already.
