The Bomb Shelter is a venue located in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

This venue is actually run by a number of bands such as

-       Milkmen

-       The Blithedale Romance

-       American Lions

-       Hurricane Season

They host basement shows, live sessions, as well as recordings.  The Bomb Shelter actually tweeted last year in September of 2015 that they were not going to host shows for a while, so this is one of the first shows in almost a year.  This weekend, Saturday, September 3, they’re kicking the month off with a solid show, including one of the bands that helps run the venue, The Blithedale Romance.

This show starts at 7PM. It’s a 21+ show, and it only costs $5 to get in. You’re basically paying a dollar a band, and then tipping the door guy. N

The event on facebook is hosted by Luke Anderson, the bassist of The Year End, and Robes Pierre, the singer/guitarist of The Blithedale Romance. Everyone in The Blithedade Romance are great people, definitely talk to them if you get the chance to.

 

Luke posted this on Facebook:

Don’t miss the secret handshake, or you’ll be left out.  Don’t be left out. Nobody likes feeling like the last kid picked in gym glass, and this is pretty much the same thing, but worse if you miss it.
