'Post-modern Paul Bunyan,' Trunk Rock Bands Playing Hoboken Show

Darrin Bradbury and Big Wilson River will be joined by other local acts at Maxwell's in Hoboken on Saturday night.

After six months of jumping between living in a Ford Focus, a Virginia hippie farm, and on one occassion, even at a communist cocktail waitress' gun-filled abode in Bloomington, Indiana, he's back – for now, anyway. Darrin Bradbury and the rest of Big Wilson River are co-headlining Maxwell's in Hoboken on Saturday night. They'll be joined by five other acts on local record label Trunk Rock Records and it's sure to get rowdy. At 8 p.m., Big Wilson River, Nude Dudes, People In Charge, Gypsy Wig, and singer-songwriters Andrew Nieporent and Don Ryan kick off the Trunk Rock showcase. Tickets are $10 at the door. For Bradbury, a former Ridgewood resident who considers himself a "post-modern Paul Bunyan" of sorts (sans the axe), the return to the…

Local Songwriter Andrew Nieporent Releasing New Album

Ridgewood native Andrew Nieporent will be gathering with local musicians and friends for the release show of his new full length album Butterfly on Sat. Aug. 25 at The Elks Club.

Local Indie Rockers Release Music Video Filmed in Fair Lawn

The video, which was filmed on Heights Avenue in Fair Lawn during the Oct. 29 snowstorm, was released this week on YouTube and Facebook

The Jay Everett Band, a Fair Lawn-based indie-rock group, released a new video for their song "There's A Girl," on YouTube and Facebook this week. The video, which was shot on Heights Avenue in Fair Lawn during October's freak snowstorm, tells the story of two lonely souls -- a timid bespectacled geek and a bubble-blowing blonde postal worker -- who find one another. The filming was aided by a number of neighbors who offered the use of their sidewalks, front porches, costumes and dogs to help with the production. The neighborhood mailman even positioned his mail truck as a prop while he delivered mail up and down the street. In October, the band's namesake, Jay Everett, took to Patch to promote a show at Mexicali Live in Teaneck. A friend …
