TOYMACHINE! NOT PLAYING AROUND WHEN IT COMES TO SUCCESS!If you’ve ever watched the singing competition television series, “THE VOICE,” then at some point you’ve seen the judges (who listen to contestants sing without seeing them) turn their chairs after hearing a performer sing just one note. That was the jolt I felt when I heard the first vocal in the new single “I’m Fine” by the Clifton, NJ rock-rap-punk band - ToyMachine! The tune is a perfect blend of hard rock and rap, with an incredibly catchy chorus sung by a frontman who very honestly admits, “I didn’t like music very much at all growing up.”ToyMachine! is Ray Bentley (Rapper/Singer), Ryan Lamon (Guitar/Vox), Mikey O’Connor (Bass/Guitar), and Greg Alders (Drums). I had the chance to virtually hang out with Ryan and Ray recently to talk about the group’s determination, focus, and vision for success.  Tune in to listen to this very enjoyable podcast and to learn what ToyMachine! does to pack their concerts with  fans!Host - Diane DiMemmoGuests - Ryan Lamon, Ray BentleyPodcast intro music by Readymade Blakeup Asbury Park Vibes Podcast Available on Spotify, Apple, Google, iHeart, Audible, and PandoraHosted by Diane DiMemmo & Doug DresherCopyright 2020-2024 Asbury Park Vibes.

DUMMY STRIKES SYNTH-POP GOLD WITH "SUDDENLY"Everyone knows that in order to “break through” in the music industry, musicians have to authentically distinguish themselves in a way that’s impossible to ignore. Enter the New Jersey synth-pop band, DUMMY.

What’s the allure, you ask?Ben Nelson (vocals / bass), Jeff Fetzko (Guitar), Carlee Ahart (Guitar, Vocals), Matt Nace (Keys), and Cris Nace (Drums) have found a way to take the new wave sound of the 1970’s and 80’s and put a modern, energetic, pop-punk stamp on it that will transport my “seasoned generation” right back to that timeframe making you feel like you’ve dipped yourself in magic waters. Think Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, Animotion, or Tears for Fears.

In 1993, he auditioned with about twenty of New York’s top players for Lenny Kravitz’s Universal Love Tour. That was the easy part. After the audition Jack and another hopeful were flown to L.A. to compete in an open, radio-fueled audition that involved 250 more contenders. Jack nailed that audition, and spent nearly 15 years as Lenny’s bassist of choice on world tours, tv appearances, videos, CD’s and DVD’s.https://www.jackdaleybassist.comhttps://www.dugdeepproduction.comhttps://www.instagram.com/dugdeepproduction    Asbury Park Vibes Podcast Available on Spotify, Apple, Google, iHeart, Audible, and PandoraHosted by Diane DiMemmo & Doug DresherCopyright 2020-2024 Asbury Park Vibes.

JEFF HOWARD FINDS HIS MUSICAL PASSION IN THE UKULELEJeff Howard grew up loving music and much of his spare time during his college years was spent hanging out in the CT music scene, especially the punk-rock and emo clubs. “I loved bands like New Found Glory, Jimmy Eat World, Saves the Day. I loved them back then and still love them to this day,” said Howard during a recent interview.Spending time raising a family has kept Howard busy and happy for many years, but he always had an itch to embrace his passion for music, more than just attending concerts. And when the pandemic kept everyone home this past year, he decided to set a goal for himself to learn something new. And that goal was to play an instrument … the ukulele.Diane DiMemmo, HostJeff Howard, GuestOpening Podcast Music by The Flukes Asbury Park Vibes Podcast Available on Spotify, Apple, Google, iHeart, Audible, and PandoraHosted by Diane DiMemmo & Doug DresherCopyright 2020-2024 Asbury Park Vibes.

THE MIDNIGHT DEVILS & THE MYSTIQUE OF ROCK 'N' ROLLJust when you thought glam rock had taken a back seat to other genres (or has actually “died” as iconic KISS frontman Gene Simmons said), you find a heart-pounding, JAM-tastic, GLAM-orous band like The Midnight Devils. Hailing from frosty Lincoln, NE and Chicago, IL ... Sam Spade (vocals, guitar), Chris ‘Sniper’ Hineline (guitar) and Jimmy Mess (drums) regularly heat up the National rock circuit complete with 80’s teased hair, makeup, monstrous music, and all the fun stage drama that goes along with it. Similar (only in stage presence) to iconic bands like KISS and Steel Panther, this powerhouse trio believes that a rock and roll performance should consist of more than just incredible music.Diane Dimemmo - HostSam Spade - GuestIntro music by The Flukes Asbury Park Vibes Podcast Available on Spotify, Apple, Google, iHeart, Audible, and PandoraHosted by Diane DiMemmo & Doug DresherCopyright 2020-2024 Asbury Park Vibes.

A CHILL CONVERSATION WITH ANDY B & THE WORLDIn this latest episode of the Asbury Park Vibes Podcast, we have an entertaining discussion with our new friend Andy B and get to hear all about his truly inspiring project...Andy B & the World. With years spent playing with UK bands such as Fandangle, New Riot and Upbeat Allstars, Andy has built an impressive network of musical colleagues. He had been working up an idea for a collaborative project, but it was one night in Melbourne, Australia that really ignited the fire.Caught off guard by the effect spending a night with Melbourne’s homeless community had on him, the vision for this collaborative project grew exponentially and sent Andy off on a worldwide adventure. In working with 172 other musicians and friends from around the globe Andy B has created what is likely to be the greatest ska-punk-folk album that you’re ever going to hear. With all the proceeds of Andy B & The World going to some terrific charities, the Asbury Park Vibes Podcast is honored to help spread the word and introduce our listeners to a great cause, a great guy, and some great music.Matt Krantz, HostAndy B, GuestOpening music by The Flukes Asbury Park Vibes Podcast Available on Spotify, Apple, Google, iHeart, Audible, and PandoraHosted by Diane DiMemmo & Doug DresherCopyright 2020-2024 Asbury Park Vibes.

READYMADE BLAKEUP ... AN ALBUM DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT!Four partially-recorded songs sitting underneath a bed for seventeen years. Most of us would've either forgotten about it or just tossed it up to an unfinished project from our past. But to GE and Paul Rosevear (former members of The Blakes and Readymade Breakup/current members of The Vice Rags), it was unfinished business that needed closure.Diane DiMemmo - HostGay Elvis, Paul Rosevear - GuestsOpening music by The Flukes Asbury Park Vibes Podcast Available on Spotify, Apple, Google, iHeart, Audible, and PandoraHosted by Diane DiMemmo & Doug DresherCopyright 2020-2024 Asbury Park Vibes.

Asbury Park Vibes - LJ Fennell Makes Debut with Brilliant EP - WhereaboutsLJ Fennell recently debuted his first EP – Whereabouts – which presents itself as a brilliant body of work you’d expect to hear from an experienced musician two to three times his age.It’s not too often that you come across a young artist who possesses the coveted trifecta of talent every musician aspires to have: superior aptitude for an instrument, intuitive/lyrical songwriting skills backed by an understanding of music theory, and a voice that’s distinctively rich and resonating. Yet Fennell has already accessed those wells of talent and is intensely focused on developing all three to the best of his abilities.Diane DiMemmo, HostLJ Fennell, GuestOpening Music by The Flukes Asbury Park Vibes Podcast Available on Spotify, Apple, Google, iHeart, Audible, and PandoraHosted by Diane DiMemmo & Doug DresherCopyright 2020-2024 Asbury Park Vibes.
