What weâve been up to…
Hello to all of you, it's been awhile. Actually 6 weeks since we have updated you out there on what we've been up to. Well to answer your many inquiries, YES, we have been recording the follow up to Keep Your Heart. In fact we are actually done the record. We will be trickling TONS of updates about it out into the world soon, for now here's a little story about a random, spontaneous show we decided to play one night while we were recording in Asbury Park.
We had gotten so excited about what we were putting to tape that we decided to call our friends at The Asbury Lanes and see if the local bands playing on that Wednesday would mind if we jumped up and played some new songs. Our Lanes buds said sure thing, the bands would allow us to jump up on their gear and give the Wed crowd a sample of the new record. Below are some pics of the extremely fun show, played to a few unsuspecting patrons, and a little blurb about what this fella from absolutepunk.net thought of the show…

Following a long day in the studio, and probably a longer day drinking, The Loved Ones decided to go to Asbury Lanes with their producers Pete Steinkopf and Brian Keinlen from The Bouncing Souls. At the end of the punk rock show at the lanes …The Loved Ones decided to perform their new record in its entirety for the 20-30 patrons still hanging out drinking….they blasted though a set and everyone there watched and listened intently. the weren't playing their instruments, so watching them adjust to playing other people's instruments was astounding in itself….the new material is a passionate and revealing portrayal of rock and roll, properly executed by punk rock veterans. If you were there, awesome, if you weren't….you missed an incredible show.
