10 for 10

Back in April we posted an interview with Jonah Matranga who is putting out a new Far album, and playing Mercury Lounge solo on May 21st (tickets). Since then he added a NJ show at Maxwell’s. That happens to be TONIGHT (5/19). Tickets are still available.

Speaking of NJ shows, that Hold Steady show happening at Starland Ballroom is on sale. The band’s NYC shows at Bowery Ballroom and Music Hall of Williamsburg are sold out.

The June 22nd NY Dolls show at Music Halll of Williamsburg is not yet sold out, and now they too are playing a NJ show at Starland Ballroom. The June 20th date goes on sale Wednesday at noon.

Poison the Well is co-headlining every date on a “10 For $10 summer tour” – ten bands for $10. Bands will vary at each stop.

Freddy Cricien of Madball said, “This 10 for 10 tour concept is way overdue in my opinion. I’m glad and thankful, that the people involved, stepped up to actually make something like this happen! Our genre (Hardcore) in the states, is in a “strange” place right now. There is somewhat of a lack of appreciation for this “sub-culture”. A lot of people want to say they know certain bands, or are affiliated with this underground scene,etc,etc… Because it gives them some credibility, it sounds cool! Well, this is everyone’s chance to re-introduce themselves, and actually get involved with a very unique and authentic genre/movement. It’s also a chance for all of us, the bands, to show our stuff as well!”

Tickets are now on pre-sale for the tour that stops at Starland Ballroom (NJ) and Terminal 5 (NYC). NYC (tickets on sale Friday) gets Madball, Poison the Well, Terror, Vision, War of Ages, The Ghost Inside, Death Before Dishonor, Trapped Under Ice, Crime in Stereo, and This is Hell. NJ (tickets on sale Friday) has VOD (Vision and Vision of Disorder on the same bill) instead of Madball.

Tickets also recently went on sale for H2O, Sick of it All, Agnostic Front, and many other shows. All 10 for $10 dates below…
