Swimmers!
Lifeguard Nights will be making our first appearance of 2012 at the legendary Stone Pony on Friday, February 10th, opening up for The Gay Blades as part of their "Valentine's Ball"! It's our first time ever playing the Pony and we're thrilled. As usual we'll be doing some oldies and some newies, and the lineup will be the same as the Bowery Ballroom, with the addition of Hall O' Famer Dr. Ew Brady on keys and vocals. We're pumped!
Doors are at 7 but we go on at 8 PM SHARP! FOR REAL. They run a tight ship so be on time.
You can buy tickets DIRECTLY FROM US for a mere $10, all you have to do is send the 10 via Paypal to vebrue@msn.com and let me know your address and I'll mail them to you, or if it's close to the day of the show I can just meet you beforehand and give them to you in person.
OR you can buy them online at the door for 12 bucks but that's dumb. Save your two bucks.
RSVP!

Hope to see you there, safe swimming!

New album "Chapter 11" is here!
Swimmers!
Here is "Chapter 11," the 11th home-recorded Lifeguard Nights album. Technically I recorded it in 2010, but I've been sitting on it for a while. Eventually it said "Get the hell off me!" so here it is. At the moment, Bandcamp is the only place to buy this album and/or hear these songs. In an effort to save money and be environmentally-friendly, all of our future releases will be digital, and probably straight through Bandcamp.

Happy New Year!
Swimmers!
Happy 2012! We here in Lifeguard Land hope all your holidays were lovely! I promise this year will be much more productive than 2011, which was the first year since the beginning of time in which I did not release an album. I was working hard on new stuff, though, and you will hear that stuff very soon.
First up, I finally finished "Chapter 11" the 11th (see what I did there?) Lifeguard Nights home-recorded album. After that, the long-awaited "The Last Summer" album, the third and final Lifeguard Nights studio album featuring a wide variety of Lifeguard Nights All-Stars. I am also finishing up the "Dark Side of the Pool" outtakes, which will be it's own album, and The South Jersey Seashore Lifeguard Convention Band's "We're Having A Great Time", which we initially started recording Summer '11 at our LBI house. After that will be a new Lifeguard Nights album, tentatively titled "Black and Brue" featuring all brand spankin' new hits.
I'll also be finishing up the debut album from Ballroom (http://ballroomband.blogspot.com) which features former and occasionally current Lifeguards Steve Honoshowsky and Mike Biskup. That should be out in a couple months.
It's going to be a great year, stay tuned and safe swimming!

Happy Halloween!
Swimmers!
It's that time of the year again! No, I'm not menstruating you jerk, it's Halloween time, which means it's time to bust out the old Halloween album that I recorded a few years ago, and try to force it upon you so that it will become a Halloween staple along with pumpkins and trick or treating and sticking razor blades into apples. http://sjslcb.bandcamp.com/album/boo

New song/video
Swimmers,
I was sitting in my front yard playing guitar one day this summer when this song came to me. I decided to record it on my phone just so I wouldn't forget it (as I usually do with new songs), but I think this came out decently as is. So here it is. I'm singing kind of quietly so as not to freak out the neighbors (they're very sensitive).

Many thanks!
Swimmers!
Fast times at Seaside Heights last night, we had a blast! There were fireworks, there was a red moon, there were mammoth shots of whiskey, and there was some pretty f'ng great rock and roll. The once-in-a-lifetime line-up included:
Boris Veysman on the bass
Steve Honoshowsky on the drums
Paulie Donofrio on percussion
Gregg Levy on lead guitar
with special guests:
Peter Bellomo on backup vocals
Sean David Cunningham on violin
Sylvana Joyce on backup vocals
Jamie DeJesus on backup vocals
It was fantastic. The setlist is below, although it's missing our triumphant closer, Two Tickets To Paradise.
Videos soon!

SHOW + Stuff/Things/Update
Swimmers!
Hope you've all been enjoying the Summer and swimming safely! I've been doing some renegade 'guarding on the weekends in Jersey and so far, so good. Haven't lost a soul on my watch (except for that one guy, but nobody liked him anyway.)
Anywhom, I know that this time of year is typically when we (Lifeguard Nights/The SJSLCB) kick into high gear, and I apologize for our recent lack of shows/productivity. There are a number of reasons for this, including...
1. getting older/burning out
2. commuting 4 hours a day into the city (see #1)
3. everyone in the band lives far away from each other and is in other bands
4. i started a new band Ballroom (http://ballroomband.blogspot.com)
5. bar 9 closed
6. now that i live close to the beach, i actually go there, instead of just singing about going there
...to name just a few. But rest assured, there is plenty of new Lifeguard material still in the works, and it WILL get done soon and you will hear and probably (possibly) love it!
In other fantastic news, on Saturday July 16th we'll be returning to the stage at The Lamp Post in Jersey City, NJ at 10 PM. We'll be playing old oldies, oldies, and newer oldies, and maybe even some newies. It's going to be great. (It's also my birthday weekend, if you care to celebrate that sort of thing.)
Hope to see you there! Safe swimming,
Vincent

Our Latest & Greatest Unauthorized Music Video!
Swimmers!
I apologize for the lack of Lifeguard stuff and things the past few months, I happened to find myself in another new band (http://ballroomband.blogspot.com) but rest assured there is still plenty happening in Lifeguard Land. Like this, for example:
UPDATE: The video has been taken down unfortunately, as you can see. If you missed it, I'll have you know it was a hidden-camera close-up shot of a Brazilian woman's ample bottom in a marketplace. Truly remarkable cinema. Ah well. I'm sure there's more where that came from.

Thanks! + Fontana's Setlist
Swimmers!
Thanks for coming out to the rock and roll party this past Saturday night, we had a freakin' blast! Unfortunately, Hrny Wrms had to cancel due to Scott's shitty immune system. Watch and listen carefully to the beginning of this video from last week and you can practically see the moment when karma take physical form and makes Scott sick. And then enjoy the rest of it because it's f'ng awesome.
Anyway, they were bummed, we were bummed, you were bummed, but we pressed on and had a wild time anyway. Lifeguard Wife took some sweet videos which I'll post soon. In the meantime here's what we did:
The Kids Ain't Alright
If Only
Lost Boy
Allie Says
Driveway Dreams
The Gun Show
Mayday
Batten Down The Hatches
Miracle
The Red Eye
We're Having A Great Time*
--encore
Whore
I Don't Like Love
Dire Straits
Over It
*Debut performance (also, a disaster. my bad.)
Strap on a diaper cause there's plenty more rock and roll coming this Spring/Summer!
Stay out of tune, and safe swimming,
