Thank Yous

Swimmers,

Thank you all for coming out last night, words can't express how much it meant to us. It was bittersweet, certainly, but while we were playing those songs all I felt was love: love for John and the music we made and the memories we shared together, and love for all of his family and friends. I hope you felt that too. Those of you who couldn't make it, we felt you there in spirit and thank you for all the love you've shared over the past month. I would also like to thank my wonderful Lifeguard pals for all of their time and effort in getting the songs right:  Steve Dans, Steve Honoshowsky, Boris Veysman, Katy Cunningham Veysman (who was unable to perform due to an illness--get better soon Kato!), PJ Donofrio, Drew Brady, Tim Dempsey, Brad Clymer and Pat Calvert, you guys are the best, musically and otherwise. I think John would have given us two shocked thumbs up. We love and miss you John, and always will.

P.S. If anyone took any photos/videos and don't mind sharing them, please pass them along to me at vincentbrue@gmail.com. If the files are too big you can send them via wetransfer.com or Dropbox or one of those sites. Highest quality would be preferable. We recorded audio of the show and would like to put together some video to go along with it. Thank you in advance!

Safe swimming, happy holidays,

Vincent

Mercury Lounge Stage Set-up '13

Christmas Show/John Dorocki Tribute Promo

We made it!

Swimmers!

After 13 long years of knowing The South Jersey Seashore Lifeguard Convention Band was one of the greatest band names of all time, we have finally been recognized by the Onion's AV Club in their Year In Band Names feature. They even posted our "White Light" video, shot by our friend Chris Cassidy and edited by John Dorocki.  John really steals the show in this video about halfway through, when he slides into frame with his Micro Korg, and then proceeds to pretend to solo on the Micro Korg, even though what you're hearing is a Mike Biskup guitar solo. Genius. I'm pretty sure John had a hand in us making the list this year. Thanks John. Check it out:
