The Dead Exs filmed their video for “More Stuff” at Asbury Lanes.
Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park is clearly one of the state’s most unique nightclubs. It’s not just converted from a bowling alley, but it still has some lanes, so you can play while the bands perform.
New York garage-punk band the Dead Exs took advantage of the club’s gritty retro ambience in its 2011 video for its catchy and powerful “More Stuff.” Check it out below.
Dead Exs member Dave Pattillo will return to Asbury Park on May 24, opening for John Eddie and His Dirty Ole Band at the Wonder Bar, under the name Strange Majik. For information, visit wonderbarasburypark.com.
