This has never happened before and may never happen again!\nRooted in distorted grit\, punk energy\, and American songbook eloquence\, and sporting three of the original ā€œfour-ishā€ members (ā€œfour-ish\,ā€ you ask? Well\, they didnā€™t start out with a permanent drummer)\, Dramarama has always been both classic and cutting-edge. This iconic alternative rock group was formed in the basement of a record store in Wayne\, New Jersey by John Easdale [singer\, songwriter]\, Mark Englert [lead\, rhythm guitar]\, Peter Wood [lead\, rhythm guitar]\, and have\, for the past 18-plus years\, been joined by Mike Davis [bass] and Tony Snow [drums]\, who not only preserve but strengthen the spirit that established Dramarama as a history making force in 1982.\nAs the story goes\, John\, Peter and Mark traded New Jersey for Los Angeles. Long before the nineties alt rock radio boom\, the West Coast initially embraced the groupā€™s single\, ā€œAnything\, Anything (Iā€™ll Give Youā€¦)ā€ (off their 1985 debut\, CinĆ©ma VĆ©ritĆ©)\, as the de facto anthem of the nascent alternative nation. It notably made history as one of the most requested songs of all time on KROQ 106.7 FM in Los Angeles. It could also be heard loud and clear everywhere from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master to HBOā€™s Entourage. And although Dramarama has yet to become a household name (still the next big thing)\, Easdaleā€™s work has been cited as an influence on several major bands of the last three decades.\nOn the heels of CinĆ©ma VĆ©ritĆ©ā€™s success the band delivered a decade of fan favorite albums: Box Office Bomb [1987]\, Stuck in Wonderamaland [1989]\, Vinyl [1991] and Hi-Fi Sci-Fi [1993]\, and after a 10-year hiatus served up Everybody Dies in 2005. As their legacy solidified\, more critical praise followed. The Chicago Sun Times christened them ā€œone of Americaā€™s best rock bandsā€ and the Los Angeles Times proclaimed Easdale ā€œone of the finest singer/songwriters of these times.ā€ And the praise continues as Dramaramaā€™s latest release\, Color TV\, was named one of the Top 10 Albums of 2020 by legendary music journalist and critic Robert Christgau.\nThe band is having more fun than ever and exudes a confidence and ease that can only come through experience and mutual respect. As Easdale puts it\, ā€œFew things compare to that sense of uninhibitedness you feel during a great show ā€” waving your fist\, stomping your feet\, singing out loud and not [caring] about anything but the music. Iā€™m proud to say that this is the feeling experienced by both the band and audience at the vast majority of Dramarama live shows ā€” fast\, tight\, loud\, sweaty sing-a-longs. EVERY time we play\, the audienceā€™s pleasure is our primary concern.ā€ URL:https://explorenewjersey.org/event/dramarama/ LOCATION:Wonder Bar\, 1213 Ocean Avenue\, Asbury Par\, New Jersey\, 07712\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://explorenewjersey.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Dramarama-2025-WB-v9itR0.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250809T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250809T000000 DTSTAMP:20260403T120320 CREATED:20250724T134350Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250728T123624Z UID:47572-1754697600-1754697600@explorenewjersey.org SUMMARY:LUMIA: A Futuristic Cirque Show DESCRIPTION:Discover the future with LUMIA: A Futuristic Cirque Show!
