2 British garage rock bands wanting to do a 2 week tour of the North East but don't know where to start!

[The Mobbs]

The Mobbs (http://www.themobbs.co.uk/) and The Snakeman 3 (http://www.myspace.com/thesnakeman3) are looking to do a small 2 week tour of North East America early next year and are looking for any help we can get! If anyone knows any promoters / venues / places to stay / things to eat or drink / anything please get in touch as we're a bit clueless!

Thanks in advance!

The best club for hipster approved rock bands in the New York City area is actually right across the Hudson River in New Jersey.  That club is Maxwell's in Hoboken.  Todd Abramson books the bands there and, unlike a lot of venues, he actually knows what he's doing and can appreciate a good band when he hears one.

Thanks, we'll check it out!

And while I have your eyes and ears, don't forget to check out my garage rock influenced radio show online at <wfmu.org>.  Audio archives and playlists are posted at <wfmu.org/blackhole>.  It runs 3-5 pm edt Sundays locally in the Great Satan and has been airing since 1978 at 91.1 WFMU-FM in Jersey City.  Over here across the pond in the original 13 colonies, I can also be heard on Sirius/XM satellite radio toiling for Little Steven's Underground Garage channel on the weekends.  Fellow dj's include Andrew Loog Oldham, Dick Manitoba of the Dictators, Kim Fowley and, of course, Little Steven Van Zandt.  Party on...

There's Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, NJ, too:

I didn't see any songs on your page, that would be helpful.  Some clubs in Boston are Great Scott and O'Briens (booked by the same people), Church, Middle East, TT's, Radio, PA's, the Midway and I can possibly help.  I do a radio show Thursdays at 10AM on http://wmbr.org if you want to send music.

Sorry, I thought there were tracks on there! You can listen to the whole album here - http://soundcloud.com/bb-rex/sets/its-the-mobbs-14-track-album/

We've just done a couple of weekends in Germany and are going to France in a couple of weeks so want spread our wings a bit further.

Cheers

I'll vouch for the Asbury Lanes as being a good venue.  It's also right by the ocean, so bring bathing gear.  You might also want to bring a bodyguard since Asbury Park can de dicey at night if you're in the wrong place.

Have you seen us?! We're three tiny English boys! Dicey is probably not a good idea for us :)

I'm a very fit, larger than average guy who's now 62.  That means I get the snot beaten out of me too.  If you go to Asbury Park, just travel in a small crowd.  Don't wander off alone at night in a relatively deserted area.  There are plenty of young, hipster dudes enjoying the club scene in Asbury Park every evening.
