The Front Bottoms, a New Jersey acoustic-folk band, have a bunch of upcoming local shows, are planning an east coast mini-tour in early April, and recording songs for a new album. The band features Brian S. on acoustic guitar and vocals, Brian U. on keyboard, and Matt on drums. The three-piece plan on playing shows in Connecticut and Pennsylvania. They also recently recorded 3 more songs for their new album. They are in the running for WRSU 88.7 Rutgers Radio 1st annual BeatBlast at the Court Tavern in New Brunswick, which showcases local music. Information on the BeatBlast can be found here.
The band is planning on releasing an EP on tape. Keyboardist Brian Uychick said: "Better dust off your tape players, get ready to put a Front Bottoms cassette in your dashboard and give your cassette adapter a break."
This Friday the band performs at the Meatlocker in Montclair with Washington Square Park, The Exotic Aquatic, Jeff Kummer (of the Early November), and special guests. The show is free and all ages at 8pm.8 Park Street.
