The Parlor Mob Reunites for the 50th Anniversary of The Stone Pony

On a cold February night, Asbury Park rockers The Parlor Mob reunited to kick off the 50th anniversary celebration of The Stone Pony. Fans packed the legendary venue, eagerly awaiting the band’s first show in almost five years. They did not disappoint. The crowd was treated to an incredible set which included Setting with the Sun, Everything You’re Breathing For, Into the Sun, and Hard Times. It has been an eventful month for The Parlor Mob as they also released their latest EP Back in ’06. Hopefully this isn't the last we've seen of them in 2024.

The lineup included two other talented local acts, indie songwriter Chad Sabo and the self-described “bitch rockers” Little Hag. Both entertained the crowd with their signature styles, and definitely should be on the radar of fans of the vibrant New Jersey music scene. Chad released his debut album Joyride earlier this year, and Little Hag will be headlining the Wonder Bar on April 18th.

Michael is an Asbury Park based photographer of what life puts in front of him. He snuck his camera into a concert for the first time in 2011 when he went to see Soundgarden on their reunion tour. Two of those shots ended up being published in Photofantasm Soundgarden: Nudedragons to King Animal, and he has been bringing his cameras to shows ever since. He relocated to Asbury in 2019 for its rich music and art scenes...and to save on tolls! He is a big supporter of the local music scene and has become well known amongst the bands for his photos. Michael is also a regular vendor at the Asbury Park Punk Rock Flea Market and can be found selling his prints at a variety of local markets.
