The Starland Ballroom to reopen in September

http://www.nj.com/entertainment/music/index.ssf/2013/06/starland_ballroom_reopening_in.html

After 10 months since The Starland Ballroom was forced to close its doors due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, the venue will finally reopen this September. Upcoming shows include two nights of Taking Back Sunday, Hatebreed, Saves the Day, two nights of Streelight Manifesto and Clutch.

Hoboken's staple venue Maxwell's to close in July

NJ.com has reported that Maxwell's is closing come the end of July. I've had the pleasure of seeing some wonderful acts there like Screaming Females, Ted Leo, Kevin Devine, Manchester Orchestra, mewithoutYou, Bern & the Brights, As Tall As Lions, An Horse, Melissa Ferrick, Old Wives, Folly and Los Campesinos.  The little 200-capacity hole in the wall, is a memorable place, that will be dearly missed among many show goers near and far. 

There's plenty of shows to get to before it closes. Just check the website at http://maxwellsnj.com/
